"Groundhog Day" Meets "Starship Troopers" in Cruise SF Flick "Edge of Tomorrow"
I love a good time travel flick, and Doug Liman's "Edge of Tomorrow" qualifies. The unique twist this Tom Cruise vehicle has going for it is the method used for for time traveling, and the restrictions put in place upon it.
Star Wars Rebels to Deliver A New Hope to Fans
After the credits rolled on 2005's Revenge of the Sith, many fans of the original trilogy were left unsatisfied. The newer trilogy seemed to focus on updated special effects and intense choreographed fight scenes.
The overall story, however, seemed to sputter like the Falcon's hyperdrive.
New Line's Bonnie & Clyde Delights With Heart and Harmonies
Arthur Penn’s 1967 film “Bonnie & Clyde” is considered to be a masterpiece of American cinema. While not the most historically accurate biography Hollywood ever made, it is a crazy thrill ride, and it had Gene Hackman and Gene Wilder in it. That’s pretty tough to beat in my book.
"The Good Lie" Rings True With Fresh Talent
Americans have it tough. Which cell phone company gives us the biggest bang for our buck? How secure are our pictures on our i-Phones and Android devices? Which lousy choice will we get to pick from for our next President?
Obama, Oz Contrasted in Gilbert's "There's No Place Like Utopia"
Joel Gilbert's latest documentary, THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE UTOPIA, is a two-hour coast-to-coast tour of America in decline.
Liam Neeson Brings the Action Again for "Taken 3"
Liam Neeson returns to the big screen one final time as Brian Mills -- the family man with a "certain set of skills." But this time, his efforts to protect his family fail -- and his wife is murdered.
"The Equalizer" Reunites Fuqua and Washington for Another Hit
Remember that old 1980s television show, The Equalizer? If you’re much younger than me you may not. It was a solid show but skewed much older demographically than my age at that time. The show featured that other Michael Caine, Edward Woodward.
Big Brother -- or Big Bother? Who's Paying Attention to the Final Three?
Less than halfway through this season of CBS and Endemol's Big Brother, I found myself asking myself, "Self, why are you still watching this show? This year isn't nearly as good as what we've had in the past."
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season One on DVD/Blu-ray
It just goes to show, you can't always trust the critics. I hadn't watched any of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. because I'd heard from some corners -- comic-fan corners, mind you! -- that the show was not just underwhelming, it was actually bad.
"Kingsman: The Secret Service" Trailer Spotlights Action and Comedy
The spies are back in business... in Hollywood, that is. Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has a strong television following, Scorpion is kicking off, "The Equalizer" is debuting in theaters, and the original series starring Edward Woodward is also getting a full-series release.
New Collection of Fossilized Failure in Hugh Murphy's "T-Rex Trying and Trying"
When Hugh Murphy's first collection, T-Rex Trying, hit the shelves, I shared it around the office as we all found several of the situations of the "I've got a great big head and little bitty arms" plagued dinosaur to alternate between thought-provoking and hysterical.
Blast to the Past with "The Midnight Special" on DVD
For those of us old enough to remember, there was a time when there were no music videos and there was no MTV (not that MTV plays any videos anymore) and the only way you go to see your favorite performers were to see them in concert.
Start Your Christmas Lists Now: Sherlock, Merlin, Doctor Who Giftsets From BBC
It's only September, but anyone knows that if you want to get the really cool stuff for Christmas, you have to start making your list early. Any later than Halloween, and you're likely to get stuck with whatever your friends and family could pick up at the local Walgreens. And you want cool, right?
Liam Neeson Nails Noir with "A Walk Among The Tombstones"
Liam Neeson is one cool cat. I enjoyed his work long before “Taken,” but after that gloriously performed throwback to the classic violent revenge films he was a bonafide superstar. Unfortunately for him, he’s dangerously close to being typecast.
