The long awaited sequel, Earth: One Amazing Day is a brand new journey revealing the power of the natural world. Narrated by Oscar winner Robert Robert…
Tonight’s feature presentation is Ridley Scott’s Matchstick Men, which easily makes my personal top five from Scott, and now that it’s a Netflix streaming option, I hope more people check it out. The cinematic sleight of hand on display in this film is remarkable. It’s so stylish in a very subtle way; I love it…
Thank the movie gods that Bong Joon-ho is getting a chance to make movies, and that Netflix had the scratch to finance a $60 million art film that would never have been made at this level anywhere else. I don’t care how many theaters Netflix Originals have access to; that’s not my business, I don’t…
There’s no use denying it. We have no actor who could ever approximate late 70’s Clint Eastwood, no actress quite like Sandra Locke during that time period (she’s SUPER hot in this movie…), the action is forceful and brutal and nearly unrelenting once the narrative kicks into overdrive, while the undercurrent of rape that…
Face/Off unquestionably represents the one and only time that Hollywood really got out of the way of action maestro John Woo and allowed him to go for broke with a big-budget and play on an R-rated playground of his patented poetic ultra-violence. I saw this film twice during opening weekend back in the summer of…
It’s the Fourth of July. It’s hot outside. Go see a movie. Go see Edgar Wright’s exuberant and rip-roaring Baby Driver. It’s tons of fun, it opened strongly over its debut weekend, and it needs great word of mouth, so that studios take more chances with films outside of the various franchises and sequel-ready items…
Pieced together from various production used pieces spanning various Star Wars films this 43-inch tall unit sold for a staggering $2.76 million last week! Auction house Profiles in History made R2-D2 the most expensive item in their catalog listing with a minimum bid price of $1 million. Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber from the first two films…
Black Hawk Down, which was released in 2001 in the shadow of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. A tragic anti-war film that manages to celebrate the warrior spirit that only a select few possess while eschewing stodgy and needless politicizing, this film dared to look at a deeply compromised and misguided American military excursion with necessary…
*Sponsored Post* Awesome Movie Cigar Scenes In the golden age of Hollywood, it was rare to watch a movie or a television show where the main characters weren’t smoking, or the heroes didn’t pause to light up cigars. We now live in an increasingly politically correct environment, where it’s extremely rare to see main characters…
The Onion Field is an upsetting, highly detailed, true-crime movie directed with class by Harold Becker (City Hall, Sea of Love) in his second big-screen effort after The Ragman’s Daughter. Released in 1979 and starring an impressive cast of up and coming talent including an incredible John Savage, a tragic Ted Danson, and a live-wire…
2017 is shaping up to be a fantastic year for science-fiction films with so many of our favourite franchises launching their titles. Titles such as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Alien: Covenant, Blade Runner 2049 and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. These are only some of the cluster of Sci-Fi movies to grace our screens…
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle has been unveiled today and it shows a group of teens as they are transported into a retro video game called Jumanji. Instead of a board game they have replaced it with a retro video gaming console. Once inside the game each teen has now become their chosen avatar as…
There’s certainly lots of stylish, R-rated action to be found in John Wick 2, but I couldn’t help but feel that not enough of anything particularly new was brought to the table, and I objected to the needless world-building and franchise-leaning aspects of the script by original creator Derek Kolstad. The first film’s co-director Chad…
Opening on October 13, The Foreigner starring Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan will show us a whole new side of Jackie Chan and his acting capabilities. You’d think that Jackie would be out of his comfort zone with this movie, it’s not just your generic kick assery mixed with comedy for good measure. It feels…
Easily one of Ridley Scott’s most ambitious movies, 1492: Conquest of Paradise is not without its flaws, but also, not without its merits, most of which stem from the enormity of the physical production; had the script been more historically accurate then we might have had one of the greatest epic adventures of all time….
Tonight’s feature presentation is To Live and Die in L.A., which is most likely the best Michael Mann film that Mann didn’t actually direct. Yes, the film certainly shows some trademarks of its legendary director, William Friedkin (Sorcerer, The French Connection), but there’s a general ambiance and sense of style that feels cut from Mann’s…
