Furious 7 is the little engine that could in my opinion. Not even the untimely and tragic death of one of the franchise’s main stars, Paul Walker, was able to completely derail this speeding train from moving forward. Make no doubt about it. The Fast and the Furious franchise has been quite the global exploit […]
Continuing the global exploits in the unstoppable franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of Fast & Furious 7. James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series that also welcomes back favorites Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas […]
Seventh Son is a mess of familiar ideas, talented actors, and competent (but mostly ugly) visual effects; all brought together into one horrible movie. There are various ways to approach a review for a movie like this, most of which involve making fun of it, and honestly, this is the kind of movie that has […]
It should be no surprise that Furious 7 is one of my most anticipated films of the year. All the main players return and the cast gets all the added value in the world in the way of Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, Djimon Hounsou, and Tony Jaa, among others. Now under James Wan’s direction, the action […]
In years to come, we’re going to look back and forget Marvel was ever “taking a big risk” with Guardians Of The Galaxy. The property was based off one of their most obscure titles and focused on weird galactic space adventure featuring no household name characters. And to lead it all was a lesser proven […]
There is certainly a lot of interest coming with the next installment in the Fast & Furious franchise. The unfortunate passing of Paul Walker is part of the curiosity for many, in terms of both looking at an unfortunate incident and wondering how this film will work around it, but to put that bit of sadness […]
While the word is out on what the future holds for the films from Marvel Studios, they are currently in a place of comfort, as the films produced are consistently entertaining, despite fitting into familiar structures. Given that the films all have reasonable budgets and lots of talent both behind and in front of the […]
It is amazing how things work sometimes. How To Train Your Dragon gets credit for being a sleeper success, as many were not thrilled by the marketing, but it ended up making big bucks and spawning a whole franchise (sequels, TV shows, etc.). I was actually quite intrigued by the trailers for the first film […]
While I tend to be a very impatient fellow who’s always wanting something else as fast as it can be handed to me, there are some things worth the wait. There are such things as the perfect film. Lightning can surely strike the same place twice. And for those reasons and so many more, that’s […]
Just a little over a day since the trailer for this summer’s Guardians Of The Galaxy made waves on the internet and they’re already sending us more. After the jump, I’ve been provided with some clips introducing us to our heroes of the film. This is a pretty brilliant movie on Disney and Marvel’s behalf […]
Baggage Claim has come from a long line of romantic comedies featuring impossibly beautiful women with problems finding love. It is annoying to have to say something like, “take my words with a grain of salt, as this is not my preferred genre,” but it is true. Baggage Claim is definitely a film that is […]
Thanks Jimmy Kimel? Those are not words I use often, but hey, the man (well technically his show) is responsible for releasing the debut trailer for the upcoming Marvel film, Guardians of the Galaxy. This obscure Marvel comic property is the biggest risk Marvel Studios has taken since basically Iron Man, when Marvel pretty much […]
The titles don’t get much more convenient than when the press release e-mails supply you with one for a film you already do not care for all that much. Regardless, just in time for Valentine’s Day, Baggage Claim hits Blu-ray on February 14th. It is a romantic comedy about an impossibly attractive woman who just […]

Out of all of the panels that were to appear in Hall H this year, the one that I was looking forward to the most (with the exception of Harrison Ford), was the Marvel one and it also proved to be the hardest one to get into as well. I love superhero comics and movies […]
Writer/Director Julie Taymor has returned to cinema with her latest visual feast for the eyes and the soul in William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. If you’re not familiar with Ms. Taymor then let me reacquaint you with her style. She had previously written and directed Titus, Frida, and Across the Universe. The Tempest marks her fourth […]
The Island was a bit of a surprise, because I wasn’t really expecting it when it arrived. I’m not complaining, mind you. The Island is a futuristic science fiction film directed by Michael Bay. Yes, that Michael Bay. The guy that directed Bad Boys, Transformers, The Rock, etc. I missed it in theaters upon release. […]
Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson star in The Island, Michael Bay’s take on a dystopian future. The inhabitants of the island think that they live on it due to the rest of the planet being uninhabitable. It’s much more than that. The Island marked Michael Bay’s first project that was not produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. […]
