If you Google Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, you’ll find that 2005’s “Wedding Crashers” is still one of the most popular films of their careers. Since that film came out audiences have wanted more of these guys together on screen. After eight years, they re-collaborated (yes, that is a word) for “The Internship”. Vaughn and […]
“After Earth” stars Will Smith and real-life son Jaden, who also play father and son in this sci-fi action/adventure set 1000 years after humans had to abandon Earth after we, the humans, destroyed it, apparently do to wars and pollution (as an early montage shows). This incredibly unoriginal premise is not a great way to […]
Earlier this year the very funny (but unfortunate box office bomb) “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” took a comedic look at the world of Magic. Surprise box office hit “Now You See Me” uses magic as a backdrop for a crime caper. In the long opening sequence (seriously – it takes about 20 minutes before the […]
Start your engines! Believe it or not, “Fast & Furious 6” is my introduction to the “Ride or Die” franchise. However, I have done some research and learned that the first one was good, the second one was OK, the third one was awful, the fourth one was better, and the fifth one was great. […]
How do you craft a truly exciting and emotional action movie? After seeing “Star Trek Into Darkness” I have the answer to my own question: You simply following the example of director J.J. Abrams.

Director Baz Luhrmann’s films always seem to generate wildly mixed reactions, from his 1996 version of “Romeo + Juliet” to Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman’s romantic drama “Australia”. And who can forget the Oscar winning “Moulin Rouge!” Luhrmann’s latest, his take on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel, The Great Gatsby, was supposed to be released […]
Last year “Marvel’s The Avengers” kicked off the Summer Movie Season and ended-up becoming 2012’s highest-grossing film, earning over $1.5 billion worldwide. This year “Iron Man 3” has the honor of launching summer. And while it’s not as much fun or exciting as that mega blockbuster, “Iron Man 3” is the most emotional and action-packed […]
Fresh-off his role as “Jack Reacher”, Tom Cruise plays another Jack – astronaut Jack Harper – in the sci-fi adventure “Oblivion”, – which part post-apocalyptic action film and part futuristic soap opera. The year is 2077. 60 years earlier our Moon was destroyed by enemy aliens, intent on taking-over Earth. Without the Moon our planet […]
Jackie Robinson is considered to be one of the greatest baseball players of all-time. But more than that, Robinson’s breaking of baseball’s color-barrier, becoming the first African-American to play in the major leagues, established him forever as a great American hero. The number 42 is synonymous with Robinson and his legacy. The movie “42” hit […]
“Jurassic Park” is one of Steven Spielberg’s greatest achievements and most popular films. It’s also one of the highest-grossing movies of all-time, making a whopping $915 million worldwide back in 1993. Well, (as Samuel L. Jackson’s character says in the film) “hold onto your butts” because the Oscar-winning thriller is back on the big screen in 3D for […]
