The Circle is the best movie of 2012. What do I mean by that? It’s a movie that has come out five years to late. Director James Ponsoldt has created a technological thriller that was tailor made for the pre-Snowden era. The film features some great performances and an interesting overall premise, but loses it towards the end due to it’s overall message missing completely. When Mae (Emma Watson) lands a dream job at a powerful tech…

This weekend, Isaac stars in Terry George’s The Promise, alongside Christian Bale. So with that, here are my picks for the best Oscar Isaac movies. Remember, these movies are…

You would think at some point the series would run out of gas and turn in a bad movie. But with The Fate of the Furious, the franchise is stronger than…
