With a couple Golden Globe wins and lots of Oscar potential, director Ridley Scott has made his best film in a decade, as The Martian delivers on being an exciting visual success, with a tremendous cast making it all the more worthwhile. Matt Damon leads the way in a film about one man surviving 140 […]
THE MARTIAN proved to be a big hit with critics and audiences this past fall. Matt Damon and Ridley Scott, among many others, worked together to make one of the most enjoyable survival stories of the year. Now everyone can “Bring Him Home” with the highly anticipated release of the stellar movie event of the year. Buckle […]
I want to thank The Martian for likely being part of the reason we are finally getting Ridley Scott’s Matchstick Men on Blu-ray. A timely big name director’s newest movie probably got Warner Bros to dig a little in their catalog for something from him that wasn’t out yet. The film original came out in […]
The Martian is one of those rare moments where I went into the movie knowing full well what was going to happen. No, I’m not clairvoyant. I read the book written by Andy Weir. However, what makes the headlines even more interesting besides me reading a book is the fact that Andy’s novel was first self […]
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 […]
Exodus: Gods and Kings is an epic. There is no way around that. Regardless of my thoughts on the film as a whole, director Ridley Scott has made a film that is grand in scale, fully realized in its depiction of an ancient time, and littered with extras, sets, props, and obvious visual effects in […]
Halo: Nightfall tells the personal story of Jameson Locke, a legendary manhunter and agent with the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), Earth’s most powerful and secretive military branch. He and his team are investigating terrorist chatter on the distant colony world of Sedra, when they are caught in a horrific biological attack. Led by Locke, […]
Never a post of joy, but every year does see the release of films that are not very good. I never seek out films with the purpose of hating them and a majority of these are not without redeemable elements, but if I have at least 10 films on a list that I consider better […]

Two of Ridley Scott’s best films are coming to Blu-ray in all new collector’s editions. One is more obvious and that is Alien, Scott’s landmark sci-fi/horror feature, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary. The other is Kingdom of Heaven, celebrating its 10th anniversary as Scott’s most underrated feature (granted the Director’s cut version is where it’s at). […]
For film lovers, the idea of putting director Ridley Scott and author Cormac McCarthy together for a film seemed like a grand idea. Between Scott’s abilities to provide thrilling atmosphere and a compelling depiction of process in his films and McCarthy’s skill for writing about the darkest sides of humanity, while sometimes adding a slight […]
I was seeing a lot of lists regarding people’s most anticipated films of the year and I figured I would post one too. Many directors, writers, and actors that I admire have films hitting theaters this year, so it was nice to dig into the upcoming release schedule of this year and really figure out […]
Killing Kennedy chronicles one of the most beloved United States Presidents, John F. Kennedy, and the shocking story of his assassination. The movie premiered on the National Geographic Channel and was seen by more than 3.4 million people, making it the most-watched broadcast in the network’s history. This epic journey is the second in a […]
To be fair, I did not come up with the title of this post nor would I have wanted to write that, that was on the press release e-mail. That said, while I was initially disappointed in theaters by Ridley Scott’s The Counselor, I am one to pay attention to his extended/director cuts of his […]
This is not really a post of joy, but every year does see the release of films that are just not good. I do not try to seek out these films, with the majority being ones that I did think could have redeemable elements, but that just wasn’t the case here. This list contains what […]

Stoker is one of those movies where I had every intention of seeing theatrically, but for whatever unknown reason or another the stars just didn’t align properly in my favor. Sadly, it came and went and I was forced to wait until now to finally check it out. In the meantime, I heard so many […]
