NAPOLEON

“It would be difficult to make a movie about Napoleon that is not epic or sweeping or grand, and Scott’s Napoleon does not fail in its attempt to match these characterizations. High budget and vast though it is, this version of Napoleon’s conquests—militaristic and romantic—is very paint by the numbers.” – Randy Steinberg, Blast Magazine

THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS AND SNAKES

“For much of the runtime, “TBoSS” is a worthwhile addition to “The Hunger Games” cinematic tradition. Populated with captivating characters, entertaining performances, and exciting action, it succeeds more than it misses on a far shorter time frame than its predecessors. However, when it attempts to be meaningful to the larger “Hunger Games” universe, it struggles, feeling rushed and empty.” – Derek Deskins, EDGE Media Network
