Jason Bourne needs no trailer to sell it. Let’s be honest of that fact. When Bourne Identity dropped in 2002 it rejuvenated the stale international spy franchises out there. Just look at the style of what came next in the Bond series, Casino Royale, as living proof. Suddenly Bourne-like movies infected our screens everywhere from […]
One of the main questions going into Jason Bourne was not in regards to the story, as these films largely fall into a template at this point. No, the question to ask is what random tool would Matt Damon’s amnesiac/super would spy use to beat down his challengers. There is an answer to that question […]

I really can’t see how anyone could possibly listen to this album and NOT be compelled to take on the world! It really doesn’t hold back on the positivity which makes it the best kind of music to wake up to on a Monday morning. I’m sure there are some people who might find songs […]
How grim is too grim and when does it just start becoming a little humorous? Earlier this year we had a novel idea for a film in the form of A Million Ways to Die in the West. That film did not work for me overall, but the idea of making a western film that […]
Luc Besson made some of my favorite films of the 1990s; La Femme Nikita, The Professional and The Fifth Element. For much of the previous decade he’s either been missing or taken on many smaller or more localized (for him) projects. I was actually intrigued by him having a new American film coming out this […]

A good crime comedy is always something I am happy to embrace. I was ready to walk away from this Luc Besson-directed mob comedy with a bit of a smile on my face, but fugetaboutit. For the most part, The Family works as a sort of quirky fish-out-of-water film. It has a family living in […]

Lincoln is a film that has been a long time coming. I remember hearing about early stories of director Steven Spielberg working on getting a movie made about Abraham Lincoln, with Tom Hanks being rumored for the role. Then things became more official, as Liam Neeson was said to be attached. The time passed, Neeson […]
