You don’t always need a backstory for a popular big-screen villain. But there are also times where you cant help but wonder – why is this person so evil? In the case of Cruella de Vil – the evil, fur-wearing villain from 101 Dalmations we grew up watching steal puppies to make a fur coat […]

Movie Review: THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW Starring Amy Adams, Julianne Moore, Gary Oldman
If it feels like Joe Wright’s new psychological thriller that just hit Netflix is a sort of spiritual successor to Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, that’s because it certainly is trying to be. To their credit, the filmmakers even have Hitch’s beloved film playing on a television during the opening scene of the film. Why tip-toe […]

Movie Review: WRATH OF MAN Starring Jason Statham, Holt McCallany, Josh Hartnett

Movie Review: WITHOUT REMORSE Starring Michael B. Jordan, Jodie Turner-Smith, Jamie Bell
I’ll admit, I was a huge Tom Clancy fan growing up. Granted, his novels weren’t always full of epic character development, but damn if he didn’t know how to write an exciting techno-thriller. When Rainbow Six came out as a PC game, I checked the novel out from the library and loved it. I went […]
Movie Review: THE MITCHELLS VS. THE MACHINES Starring Abbi Jacobson, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph
Right from the start, it becomes quickly apparent that The Mitchells vs. The Machines is not your typical animated film. Through the use of a unique animation style, quirky humor, and on-screen visual gags – there is a lot to love about this dysfunctional family taking on robots who are trying to destroy the world. […]
Movie Review: MORTAL KOMBAT Starring Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee
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 […]
