It’s very hard to imagine a world where Pixar isn’t releasing a film every summer. Starting back in 1995, Pixar and Disney have been the standard in animated films successful both for their narratives and […]

Back in 2013, Pitch Perfect became a surprise hit when it grossed $115.4 million worldwide and made an instant impact on pop culture. From a top-selling soundtrack to a top 10 song on the Billboard […]
Sometimes movies are all about timing and a prime example of that was the release and success of Pitch Perfect back in 2012. The film was released in the wake of the success of Glee, […]
It was May 19, 1999, and my buddies and I were finally getting to see a film we had been eagerly anticipating for months. We soaked in any behind the scenes specials we could on […]
Editor’s note: Be sure to check out the rest of our #TBT reviews on the DCEU here. Prisoner of the moment is a constant feeling for cinephiles in today’s fast-moving world. With the instant reaction world […]
Editor’s note: Be sure to check out the rest of our #TBT reviews on the DCEU here. I have now watched Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice four times (one being the Extended Cut that makes […]
In 1968, the first installment of the original Planet of the Apes franchise was released. That film not only was groundbreaking in makeup and production design but provided cinephiles with one of the of the most memorable […]
I don’t think anyone would’ve blamed us for being a bit cautious when stepping into Rise of the Planet of the Apes when it was released back in 2011. Our foray into this world was […]
Back in 2002, Spider-Man ushered in the new wave of the summer movie season. Before Spider-Man, summer releases usually didn’t hit until June but that particular film turned May into the new blockbuster destination. When it […]
Back in 1999, I don’t think anyone expected much from The Mummy, a loose remake of the 1932 film which starred Boris Karloff. It wasn’t viewed as a film that was going to kick off […]
Films don’t get more polarizing than Prometheus. It was viewed as a return to sci-fi form for Ridley Scott before it was even released and the hype train was running full steam ahead as it approached its […]
Alien and Aliens are tough acts to follow. Ridley Scott’s 1979 original is a true testament to the power of suspense and atmosphere while the 1986 sequel takes those elements and morphs them into a sci-fi action hybrid […]
Back when Alien was first released in 1979, science fiction films were the cream of the crop at the box office. The trend essentially began two years earlier with the release of Star Wars, which breathed […]
To put it bluntly, Fast Five was a beast. Not only was it a solid entry in the franchise, but it was also a top notch action film that started a new era for the series. […]
Success can be an excellent motivator. After The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift underperformed, one could be forgiven for thinking that Fast & Furious wouldn’t fare much better despite bringing back the film’s original cast. At […]
“The Gang’s All Here.” That’s the best way to describe Fast & Furious, the fourth installment of the franchise that brings back the original core four to the series. Only Paul Walker returned for the […]
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is a much better film now than it was back when it was released in 2006. The second film didn’t have Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster or Michelle Rodriguez but […]
2 Fast 2 Furious exists for purely financial reasons. The way the first film ended did imply there could be more story to tell but one of the film’s stars, Vin Diesel, opted to not […]
Beauty and the Beast was the second Disney film released during the golden era of Disney animation. It began with The Little Mermaid in 1989 and continued after with the release of Aladdin in 1992 […]
The biggest issue with X-Men: Origins Wolverine, despite splashes of entertainment value, is that it lacked character depth. The movie reached more for the spectacle rather than delving into something more intimate. It was also […]
During my childhood, I actively collected comic books and X-Men tended to be the series I gravitated to the most. I found the characters and situations more complex and really caught onto what they were […]
Sometimes we all want to be a part of a movement. When a mass group of people seem to be embracing something in droves it tends to peak our interest. I didn’t read a single […]
“Seven Days…” Can you remember what it was like the first time you heard those words uttered back in 2002 when The Ring was first released? The horror genre tends to have these moments of […]
Throughout the history of film, the word masterpiece is loosely thrown around to films that are undeserving of that merit. When discussing masterpieces, cinephiles often bring up Gone With The Wind, Casablanca, and Citizen Kane. While […]
Christmas isn’t complete without a few traditions and Home Alone has been one of those traditions for as long as I can remember. I can recall seeing this in theaters as a kid and I […]
The yearly question among 25-30-year-olds around the holidays is “What is your favorite holiday film?” From Home Alone to The Santa Clause, there really is no wrong answer. 20 years ago, while watching TV and eating Christmas […]
1978’s Halloween is still the ultimate slasher film in my book. Not only is it a well-crafted horror film, but it’s also a solid exercise in independent filmmaking. Even with my deep love and admiration […]
I still vividly recall the first time I saw the original Star Wars trilogy. My stepdad is a huge fan of the franchise and I was maybe about 11 when he brought them up to […]
Nominees for the 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were announced this morning in Los Angeles. The SAG Awards will take place on Sunday, January 29th broadcast live at 8 p.m. on TNT and TBS. […]
Two years ago, the world was introduced to Damien Chazelle‘s filmmaking and what an introduction it was. Whiplash is not only a great film but one of the best films of 2014. A film that pulls no […]
Before Mark Wahlberg was among the A-list elite, he was Marky Mark and he had a Funky Bunch. Good Vibrations wasn’t quite Ice Ice Baby but it was defining enough to stick with Wahlberg as he made his transition […]
Tim Burton is widely regarded as one of the most eccentric, unique directors of his time. His style, and aesthetic, leaves no questions asked whether or not you are watching one of his films. From Batman, […]
Every cinephile has that one film that started it all. The one film they can go back to again and again that not only brings back memories but always puts a smile on their face. […]
With the release of Hands of Stone this week, it is only right that a tribute is paid to one of the finest actors of this generation, Robert De Niro. From Raging Bull to Goodfellas, De Niro […]
