This one sort of stood out to me because it seemed like it wanted to try something a little different in the horror genre, taking it in a new direction. I was also curious about Shelley Hennig. Though she is not my favorite on Teen Wolf, she has been a breakout star. She appears to be carving out a niche for herself in the horror movie market, from starring in…
It’s the ‘60s in New Jersey and a group of musicians form a quartet together with hopes of making it big. Frankie Valli (played by John Lloyd Young), Tommy DeVito (played by Vincent Piazza), Bob Gaudio (played by Erich Bergen), and Nick Massi (played by Michael Lomenda) have their dreams realized as their songs become hits. But success does not guarantee happiness; the members have their own demons to overcome…
James (played by Will Farrell) is an investment banker who is framed in a fraud scandal and now scheduled to serve time in prison, San Quentin to be exact. So in order to prepare for his time in jail, he enlists Darnell (played by Kevin Hart) to ready him for life behind bars. Kevin Hart is routinely hit or miss with me. And I know Will Farrell is hit or…

I think the blockbuster season officially kicks off with this one. It’s on my most anticipated movie list. Not surprising since I’m a long time fan of the franchise. Also, I’m loyal and there was no way I would miss Paul Walker’s final film. After taking down a formidable foe, Owen Shaw, Dominic Toretto (played by Vin Diesel), Brian O’Conner (played by the late Paul Walker) and their comrades strike a…
I read the first Divergent novel a few years back. I know fans defend it against the accusations that it’s a Hunger Games rip-off but in general the YA Dystopian genre just isn’t my favorite. I didn’t dislike the book, but I just wasn’t eager to continue it. And after learning that the series was going to be filmed, I decided to watch the sequels instead. The first film was entertaining enough. I…

This age-old tale gets a live action remake! Cinderella is my favorite old school Disney film. Though Sleeping Beauty is not far behind, this is my #1. So I was very excited to learn they would be giving this the Maleficent treatment. After the untimely passing of her father, Ella (played by Lily James) is left in the care of her cruel stepmother (played by Cate Blanchett) and stepsisters who…

Tadashi has created a health companion robot name Baymax (voiced by Scott Adsit), whose goal is to come to someone’s physical aid when necessary. After a shocking twist of…
Well, unlike several people I still enjoyed Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium quite a bit. It wasn’t at the level of District 9 for me, but it was still engaging. I know some were concerned that he was beginning to fall into a rut as a writer and director. Chappie would have proved it. As a Short Circuit and Robocop fan, I didn’t mind taking the plunge to see for myself. Robot police…
