Ahoy there! Here’s some exciting news to brighten up your Wednesday! We have the brand NEW trailer for 20th Century Fox’s upcoming film, The Martian. Featuring a star-studded cast that includes Matt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Donald Glover, The Martian is based on a best-selling novel, and helmed by master […]
12 Years A Slave is a truly gripping story that most certainly serves as an unflinching look at a horrible period of a man’s life, within a time period where injustice against man may have been at its peak in America, but does so with a mood that seems to distinguish itself from other period […]
Come this March, the title of the post may need to be altered to “Best Picture Winner”, but regardless, one of the best and most important films of 2013 comes to Blu-ray on February 18th. 12 Years A Slave tells the true story of Solomon Northrup, a man kidnapped and forced into slavery in the […]
It was a big year, but somehow I managed to put together a list of my favorite films of 2013. I have to say that this was once again not the easiest list to put together. Theatrically, I have seen 150+ films this year, so there were a lot of films to consider and figure […]
It can be a challenge to express why certain dramas work on a viewer more than others. A film like 12 Years A Slave, which is based on the true life chronicle of man kidnapped and forced into slavery, could function on a level that dwells purely on misery and offers little beyond sadness for […]
I don’t know what it is? Despite the ridiculous action at times and big gaping plot holes, I found myself really liking Angelina Jolie’s Salt. I’m not a big Jolie fan, but I can’t help being a sucker for her in action movies like Wanted and also in crime thrillers such as Taking Lives (God, […]
After months of ad campaigns asking film-goers, “Who is Salt?,” only to be met mostly with a response sounding like, “who cares?,” it’s safe to say that the actual film does answer that question, and also manages to be a pretty effective action thriller. However, it does go into some hardcore ridiculous territory, but I […]
It’s the end of the world as we know it on the Blu-ray format when 2012 hits your big screen this March. Sony Pictures has issued a March 2nd D-date for the Mayan apocalyptic disaster film 2012. In case you need a quick refresher on what the film was all about, if it wasn’t already […]
I honestly had no intentions of ever seeing the latest disaster flick, Roland Emmerich’s 2012, on the big screen. Had it not been for the recommendation to do so from fellow reviewer Bob Ignizio, then I probably would not have. I actually remember telling my co-worker Sandy this past Friday that there’s no way I […]
2012 is completely ridiculous trash that turns massive destruction and the deaths of billions of people (including, by implication, just about everyone watching it) into fodder for entertainment. Of course the disaster movies of the seventies did the same thing on a smaller scale, and who can resist The Towering Inferno or Earthquake?
