Crank

Jason Statham (The Meg) is one of the most popular action movie stars around. After starting his career with a few film roles working for director Guy Ritchie (Aladdin), he landed the lead in Transporter, which was truly his breakout film. He proved that he was able to hold an audience's attention and was believable with his action stunts. Afte... Read More

Godzilla

Back in 1990, an Americanized version of Godzilla was shopped around to various "hot" directors at the time such as James Cameron, Time Burton, Paul Verhoeven, and Jan de Bout, with it eventually landing in the laps of the team responsible for the hit 1996 film Independence Day, Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich.The story, un...

Disneynature Penguins

(Nathan M Rose) 4/15/2019 10:04 AM EDT
Everyone knows about penguins. Almost all of us have seen them in a zoo, a cartoon, or in a film, but how much do we really know other than the fact that they waddle around and are cute? What do we really understand about their lives and mating rituals? Sure we may have seen documentaries about them before but nothing like this on... Read More

Ralph Breaks The Internet

(Nathan M Rose) 2/25/2019 9:10 PM EDT
Back in 2012 production started on a little film called Wreck-It Ralph. There was small fanfare at that year's San Diego Comic Con, but not much. All the press really knew is it would be "Roger Rabbit" like but instead of cartoons it would be featuring video game characters and settings that everyone grew up loving. The film, which debute...

Robin Hood

(Nathan M Rose) 2/19/2019 9:16 AM EDT
Robin Hood. The name invokes different images and different stories depending on who you ask. Either it's the Earl Flynn Robin Hood, the Disney cartoon, the comedy spoof by Mel Brook, The 1991 Kevin Coster melodrama with the best portrayal of the Sheriff of Nottingham ever, or the 2010 Russel Crowe take on the classic tale. Then in 2018, to help br... Read More

Castle Rock

Hailing from the mind of Stephen King, Castle Rock is a town used in most of his novels, and now with the resurgence of Stephen King films, Sam Shaw and Dustin Thomason took the opportunity - with the blessing of the master of horror himself- Stephen King, to create an Anthology Series entitled Castle Rock, with a cast of actors from some of ...
