I will admit that when I heard a sequel was being developed to the beloved 1995 Robin Williams classic, “Jumanji,” I was skeptical. Luckily, a great cast featuring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jack Black, and Kevin Hart, along with a great script, carried the film to a $1 billion global box office haul. So, it […]

Martin Scorcese is one of the great American directors. His film resume includes ‘Goodfellas,’ ‘Casino,’ ‘The Departed,’ and ‘Wolf of Wall Street,’ all of which are in my top 10 favorite films of all time.

The brave men and women who fought in the battle of Midway, deserved so much better than this run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter, just plain boring Roland Emmerich film. ‘Midway’ is Emmerich’s new war opus, which while retelling the story of World War II’s most decisive battle, seems to take its facts and information straight from a Wikipedia […]

Will Smith’s new flick ‘Gemini Man’ has everything needed for an effective action movie; a believable leading man, a great director, a formulaic plot, and big fight scenes.
