‘Captain America: Brave New World’ Movie Review

By

We’re 35 movies into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Every single one doesn’t need to be the most epic or cameo-filled film ever made.

Indiana Jones and the Box Office Destiny

By

The last time Indiana Jones was on the big screen was 2008’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”.

He dominated the 70s, 80s and 90s – with the original “Blade Runner”, “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones” films, as well as “Witness”, “Working Girl” and “The Fugitive”.

‘The Age of Adaline’ Review

By

Just as “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” explored the unusual concept of someone aging in reverse, a new cinematic fable, “The Age of Adaline”, centers around another unique variation of the aging process – or more specifically – the non-aging process.

‘The Expendables 3’ Review

By

“The Expendables 3” boasts the most star-studded cast of any film this year – from Hollywood heavyweights to an actual welterweight, a sitcom star, a vampire heartthrob, the Governator, and an ex-con who, both in real life and in this backstory, served time for tax evasion.
