The Internet's Own Boy is a wonderful documentary. It is smart, it is insightful and at its heart it is very, very angry. Which makes it all the more important to be seen by as many people as possible.

A Most Wanted Man (2014) Review
Last year Philip Seymour Hoffman died and we lost a great screen presence and formidable actor. One of his final roles was in A Most Wanted Man, an adaptation of a fairly recent John Le Carré novel. While it was well reviewed at the time of its release it didn't really find an audience and seemed to have quickly been forgotten. So I sat down to figure out whether people should have paid more attention or whether they were right in ignoring it.

Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (2014) Review
Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes is the sequel to 2011's surprise success Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and is not to be confused with Escape From The Planet Of The Apes, Beneath The Planet Of The Apes, Battle For The Planet Of The Apes, or Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes. Which begs the question: who can keep all these movies in any kind of order? And which silly, overused word are they going to slap in front of the next Planet Of The Apes movie? How about resurrection? Or extinction? Those worked great for the Alien and Resident Evil franchises.
