Growing up in the early to mid-90s, I was a huge Mortal Kombat video game fan. The game pissed parents off due to the graphic violence and bloody kill scenes, but sadly in today’s society, the game seems pretty tame compared to what’s out there for gamers to play now. The game was so popular […]
Robin Wright could have taken the easy way out with her directorial debut, but instead she chose to not only direct Land, but also star in it. The new film is about a grieving woman who goes off the grid, as she decides to live in a cabin in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming. […]
Whoever came up with the phrase, the truth shall set you free, has never been to Guantanamo Bay. It’s a shame that The Mauritanian didn’t feature more of Tahar Rahim’s character, Mohamedou Ould Slahi. Some of the best and most enjoyable moments in this true story, revolve around Slahi and his flashbacks as well as […]

For those of us sports fans, we undoubtedly know the feeling of disappointment when our team goes down, failing to win the title. If you’re a St. Louis Blues fan, you know the feeling all too well. In fact, being a diehard Kansas City Chiefs football fan, I found myself relating quite a bit to […]
At first glance, The War With Grandpa looks like nothing more than a cash-grab, generic comedy that will introduce a new generation of movie-goers to the legendary Robert De Niro and a few of his friends. At first glance, you wouldn’t be wrong, but the movie is not all that bad if you give it […]
One of the top comedies of 2020 is hitting Amazon on August 28. ‘Get Duked!’ or ‘Boyz in the Wood,’ as it was called when it won an audience award at the 2019 SXSW Film Festival is a sure-fire bet to be a future cult-classic. In what seems like an innocent camping trip for four […]
