(Judith Raymer) 7/31/2014 9:56 AM EDT Marvel Studios does it again! Cliche? Yes, and yes. About that...We begin by meeting Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) as a young boy (not) coping with his mother's death, and abducted by an alien ship. Rather than deliver him (to whom, we have yet to discover…his extraterrestrial father, Jason, or one of his foes, perhaps)... Read More |

(Paul Kates) 7/30/2014 11:05 AM EDT One of Ancient Greece's most popular myths is turned on its head with Brett Ratner's telling of Hercules. In Ratner's account, the son of Zeus is no more than a leader of a band of cut-throat mercenaries, working their way through life, until they each have enough gold to retire into a life they all desire.Once the predictable narrative that seems ...

(Nathan M Rose) 7/24/2014 4:06 PM EDT This week Universal Pictures hopes to breathe life into a dead summer with their new film Lucy. Lucy, stars Scarlett Johansson, is Luc Besson's (The Professional, The Fifth Element) latest action thriller. The premise although a little far fetched is simple. Lucy is a student studying abroad in Taipei who, through a series of mishap... Read More |

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/18/2014 10:02 AM EDT Marley Shelton (Eleventh hour) stars as Dr. Alison Lennon, a scientist who has successfully fertilized human eggs in a laboratory. Nothing special about that, you're thinking? Except it's 2025 and women world-wide have mysteriously stopped having the ability to conceive and bare children threatening extinction of the human race.... Read More |
(Sean Ferguson) 7/18/2014 8:41 AM EDT When it comes to creating a comedy, there are many topics one could shy away from, but Porn has never been one of them. In fact, if done right, it could lend to a fun and interesting story, with major complications. Zack and Miri made a porno that didn't do so well, and yet Don Jon did nothing but watch them…to great success. So why woul... Read More |
(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 7/10/2014 3:19 PM EDT Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the follow up to Rise of the Planet of the Apes, picks up where the first movie left off. When it starts we see the news reports discussing the spread of the simian flu worldwide and the destruction of the human race. The movie then switches to the woods where hundreds of apes, led by Cesar portrayed via ... Read More |
 
(Paul Kates) 7/7/2014 4:05 PM EDT Love them or hate them, you have a fairly good idea what could happen in road trip movies, before you start watching them and usually it ultimately does. Tammy, while having a little bit of originality fails to make the most of itTammy is Melissa McCarthy's (The Heat, Mike and Molly) latest character creation for the big screen. She is a woma...

(Michelle Koesten) 7/7/2014 9:06 AM EDT Ah, what can I say other than I just watched another really terrible movie! This one was just bad, bad, bad--- well, unless you're are a teenager into the horror genre. The original, which I haven't seen, or should say don't remember seeing, came out in 2001 and starred well known actors Steve Zahn, Paul Walker, and Leelee Sobieski. It was wr... Read More |
