By Sean O'connell (919) for CinemaBlend.com (1,378) on 28 Sep 2016

Review of The Light Between Oceans (2016)

By Sean O'connell (919) for CinemaBlend.com (1,378) on 31 Aug 2016

Review of Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)

By Sean O'connell (919) for CinemaBlend.com (1,378) on 22 Jun 2016

Review of Mother's Day (2016)

By Sean O'connell (919) for CinemaBlend.com (1,378) on 27 Apr 2016

By Sean O'connell (919) for CinemaBlend.com (1,378) on 18 Mar 2016

Review of London Has Fallen (2016)

By Sean O'connell (919) for CinemaBlend.com (1,378) on 04 Mar 2016
