The mysterious and secretive Robert McCall (played by Denzel Washington) has been trying to turn over a new leaf and lead a quiet, boring, and ordinary life. But that proves to be impossible for a man with his past. Everything changes when he meets Teri (played by Chloë Grace Moretz), a teen who appears to be a prostitute that has close ties to a violent Russian gang. After she gets…
I’m a self-professed fan of Dylan O’Brien thanks to his fantastic performance on Teen Wolf. He is one of two reasons I watch that show at all (Tyler Hoechlin being the second reason). He appears to be the breakout star on that show with several movie credits to his name and now he has a new potentially successful franchise on his hands with The Maze Runner. The film is an…
Carly Whitten (played by Cameron Diaz) is an attorney in New York City who does everything by the book, including when it comes to her romantic relationships. That all changes though when she meets the uber handsome and successful Mark King (played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). He’s swept her off her feet and all is well until she discovers that he is married to Kate (played by Leslie Mann). Crushed and…
Greek demigod, has his life as a sword-for-hire tested when the King of Thrace and his daughter seek his aid in defeating a tyrannical warlord. With The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) as Hercules you’d think a solid action flick would be guaranteed, right? Well, I did too. After that atrocious other film earlier this year starring Kellan Lutz, The Legend of Hercules, the only way to go was up. Way, way…
Light years from Earth, 26 years after being abducted, Peter Quill finds himself the prime target of a manhunt after discovering an orb wanted by Ronan the Accuser. This was definitely my favorite film of the summer. Based on the trailers I wasn’t sure how I’d like the film. It was hard to get a read on the feel of it. It was an August release, so would it be…
New York has secret guardian angels, but instead of living in the sky they live in the sewers. And instead of wings they have half shells. I’m talking about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles of course. Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael along with the tutelage and parenting of their rat sensei, Master Splinter, keep out of the public eye for their safety. But that becomes more difficult when Shredder and…
Childhood friends Ryan (played by Jake Johnson) and Justin (played by Damon Wayans, Jr.) are living in Los Angeles, still trying to make it in their careers, despite the fact that they are 30 and haven’t had much success. They end up dressing up as policemen for a costume reunion party and though that was a bust, afterwards while walking the streets they realize the power they have as they…
A couple are driving home when their car breaks down just as the Purge commences. Meanwhile, a police sergeant goes out into the streets to get revenge on the man who killed his son, and a mother and daughter run from their home after assailants destroy it. The five people meet up as they attempt to survive the night in Los Angeles. It should come as no surprise that this…
Instead of one massive post about the best week of the summer, I’m going to split it up this time. Yeah, this might be an old hat for me but every year there is something new to do and something cooler to experience! We got to stay at the Hilton Bayfront this time around. This hotel is a little more out of the way but it’s one of the main…
It’s been over five years since the island Berk changed forever. Once foes to one another, dragons and Vikings now live in harmony…or at least the best they’re going to get of it. Instead of focusing on slaying dragons, the Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) and Toothless are now turning their attention toward discovering uncharted territories. While off on their travel they stumble upon a secret location that appears to…
