After The Sixth Sense, I believe that Signs may be M. Night Shyamalan’s biggest success to date. The creepy aliens-on-earth story struck similar emotional chords at The Sixth Sense did and gave Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix some excellent moments of acting. Now the film is 22 years old, so I wonder – Does the […]
Before I begin with introducing Stillwater I have something to admit. I have not written a review of anything since last November. If memory serves me correct, the third season of Westworld was my last. I had a lot of big changes, losses and even happy gains happen in my life since then. I needed time […]
One of my favorite films of 2009, doubling as one of my favorite undead films as well, was Ruben Fleischer’s Zombieland. Back then, I was hoping and hoping for a sequel, but so many years passed that when it was announced they were finally doing it ten years later, my excitement was pretty middling (Though, […]
It feels so good to be back! It was 10 years ago when the first film, Zombieland (2009), came out. I went to go see it with a friend or two not sure what to expect. I walked out of that film with such a love for what I was seeing on screen! The cast was great, […]
Because writer/director/producer Ryan Murphy was not busy enough with American Horror Story and American Crime Story, he also decided to follow up Fox’s Glee with another over-the-top series that takes on the horror genre to a lighter degree with Scream Queens. Packed with both veteran and younger stars, the concept is fun enough, with this […]
They bill Arnold Schwarzenegger as being back, better than ever in the post-apocalyptic story, Maggie, arriving on Blu-ray July 7th from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. What do you think of that statement? Do you believe there is any validity to that? I don’t know about you, but that’s why I was most curious to tackle this one. Sure it will […]
Arnold Schwarzenegger is back and better than ever in the post-apocalyptic story, Maggie, arriving on Digital HD June 30thand on Blu-ray (plus Digital HD) and DVD (plus Digital) July 7th from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. Also starring Academy Award nominee Abigail Breslin (Best Supporting Actress, Little Miss Sunshine, 2006) and Joely Richardson (TV’s “Nip/Tuck,” The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Maggie follows the outbreak […]
I almost rented this flick on iTunes over the weekend, but time was not my friend. Low and behold, this press release just dropped. Someone up there must be looking out for me. Haha. After all, I would love my first time with this film I am hearing so much praise about to be on […]
It was unfortunate to not see this film take off big, theatrically. I was quite impressed by what I saw in theaters, given my adoration for the book, but the film could not quite connect with the masses in the same way that something like The Hunger Games has proven to do. Based on the […]
This matters very little in terms of my thoughts on the film, but I do not much care for the way this film is being marketed. August: Osage County is a lot of things. It is a well-acted drama, with some comedic moments. It is based on an award-winning play by Tracy Letts. It involves […]
Action icon and Academy Award nominee Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones franchise, Star Wars franchise, Best Actor, Witness, 1985), Asa Butterfield (Hugo), Academy Award nominee Hailee Steinfeld (Best Supporting Actress, True Grit, 2010), two-time Academy Award nominee Viola Davis (Best Supporting Actress, Doubt, 2008; Best Actress, The Help, 2011), Academy Award nominee Abigail Breslin (Best Supporting […]
Ender’s Game, the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novel by Orson Scott Card, is one of my favorite books of all time. The concept of a film adaptation has always been an intriguing one to me, but something I had long put off as ever actually happening. These feelings came from a younger me, but I […]
Ender’s Game has continued to seem like one of those things that would just never happen. I am a huge fan of the award-winning novel by Orson Scott Card, but given the challenge that the story represents in creating a film that could really work, I can see why the film has remained in development […]
As much as I had my reservations about seeing this film in the theaters, I actually enjoyed it for what it was. It never took itself too seriously and it had a little something special at the end that put a grin on my face. Say what you want about The Call…it just ain’t that […]

I was very curious about Rango when it hit theaters, but for whatever reason, I was not able to catch it on the big screen. People kept telling me that since I’m a big western film buff that I would love it, because it in fact IS a western. So far, so good! The theatrical […]
Not often can I recommend a movie for the entire family to see together. Many movies are niched to a specific audience and age demographic, and many times parents struggle to find something everyone can enjoy. RANGO fits this bill nicely. Gore Verbinski has assembled a winning team of voices for the animated […]
