3 Generations Is A Scattered And Clumsy Mess
3 Generations was supposed to come out in a general theatrical release domestically all the way back in September 2015 with the title of About Ray. After it garnered a critical thrashing at the Toronto International Film Festival, The Weinstein Company pulled it from its release schedule and it basically vanished. Then, earlier this year, it was abruptly announced that the studio would be releasing About Ray under its current title and in a smaller theatrical release under their Radius-TWC banner, which had been discontinued for over a year but was briefly brought back to life solely for the purpose of getting this feature finally released.

The Danish Girl Review
The best thing I can say about The Danish Girl is that the two main characters are in possession of a Jack Russell Terrier and that adorable doggie pops up frequently in the sequences taking place at their humble abode. I couldn't help but laugh at the dog's facial expressions which range from disinterested to distracted and such emotions amusingly contrast with the more stuffy activities occurring around the animal. Alas, the entire movie does not center around this cute canine and instead focuses its efforts on presenting on a laughably by-the-numbers take on real life figure Lili Ebe.

Hotel Transylvania 2 Review
There are a few parts of Hotel Transylvania 2 to admire, but the structure of its plot is most certainly not one of those positive aspects of the feature. At first, the primary flaw to be found in how it dishes out is story is the rapid pace at which it goes through various plot developments (the marriage between vampire Mavis and human Johnny, then the reveal of Mavis being pregnant, giving birth and then flashing forward to when the offspring is a few years old) that honestly could have filled out further Hotel Transylvania chapters in their own right.

Caitlyn Jenner Is A Hero
First off, she's known as Caitlyn Jenner now. That's the name she's chosen for herself. She is no longer Bruce Jenner. Please get that simple fact right, because otherwise, your article is wrong from the get-go thanks to an inaccurate title.

Transparent (S1E1) Review
I find the world of streaming television endlessly fascinating. Ever since Netflix tore down all preconceived notions of how we consume television with House of Cards in February 2013, tons and tons of people have jumped into this lucrative market. PlayStation is having it's first TV Show, Powers, debuting in December. Yahoo! Screen has Community in 2015. Amazon has actually been in this streaming TV game for a while now, but Transparent is the first show that really makes me think they've got something truly special here.
