(Nathan M Rose) 6/5/2019 10:17 PM EDT Jean-Claude Van Damme (Bloodsport) was one of the top action stars of the late 1980s and early 1990s, starring in almost a dozen films in that time period alone. In 1991, he starred in Double Impact. An initial release of this title was done by Fox/MGM back in 2012, however, this release really didn't do justice for true die-hard Van Damme fans. Th...

(Joey R Mannon) 6/4/2019 3:02 PM EDT In today's world of combining big acts for even bigger theatrics, this delightful pairing of the stoic Batman and the fun-loving Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is sure to entertain fans both new and old. While admittedly initially dubious upon hearing the premise, I found the film very clever and enjoyable. The dialogue and action scenes are very wel... Read More |
(Allison Skornick-Rose) 6/4/2019 12:29 PM EDT Thirty-five years ago director Barry Levinson (Rain Man) adapted Bernard Malamud's 1952 novel into a major motion picture entitled The Natural.
