Film Review: Johnny Depp is Ghoulish in Mob Saga ‘Black Mass’
Submitted by PatrickMcD on September 17, 2015 - 4:55pmCHICAGO – “Black Mass” is a well crafted, if somewhat conventional crime tale. It won’t win any awards, but it’s entertaining enough. The story of real life Boston crime boss “Whitey” Bulger has no shortage of juicy details, and while the saga of this mob boss slash FBI turncoat falls short of greatness, Johnny Depp turns him into an otherworldly presence.

Film Review: James Brown Bio ‘Get On Up’ Stuck in a Funk
Submitted by PatrickMcD on August 1, 2014 - 4:25pmCHICAGO – “Get On Up” contains one dynamite performance trapped in a frustratingly mediocre movie. James Brown’s life and music offer a wealth of material to work with, that doesn’t necessarily adhere to the conventions of a formulaic musical biopic.
