(Marco Chacon) 6/20/2014 11:04 AM EDT In 2006, Zach Snyder showed us that even if he wasn't necessarily a genius innovator in terms of narratives (he does some of his best work with other people's properties), he was an innovative film-maker in terms of technique. His adaptation of Frank Miller's super-stylized (every page is a splash-page) 300--the story of the Greek battl... Read More |

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 6/13/2014 11:03 AM EDT Liam Neeson (Taken, A Million Ways To Die In The West) plays Federal air Marshal William Marks in the Blu-ray release of Non-Stop, an action thriller that will keep you guessing for most of the hour and forty five minute running time. While the film feeds into our fears in a post 9/11 world, for Agent Marks, it's just another day at the offic... Read More |
 
(Michelle Koesten) 6/13/2014 10:15 AM EDT Historically, most of us are familiar with the name Alexander the Great. Having succeeded his father to the throne at age twenty, he fought battles for power and control from his Greek kingdom of Macedonia throughout Persia, Egypt and Asia, creating one of the largest empires in ancient times.One of the latest movies about him, made by ...

(Nathan M Rose) 6/12/2014 10:40 AM EDT The boys are back in school for another round of parody comedic action fun in 22 Jump Street, starring Jonah Hill (Superbad, Wolf on Wall Street) and Channing Tatum (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Haywire). The first film, 21 Jump Street, based on the 80s television show of the same name, was a smash success by taking a serious drama show and making ... Read More |
(Marco Chacon) 6/9/2014 4:20 PM EDT Remakes of classic science fiction movies are usually more hit than miss because good science fiction manages a timelessness that doesn't demand a remake. Yes, special effects have come a long way—but leaving out the added stuff, did the refresh of Star Wars really help it? I don't think so. The original took us to a galaxy far, far away... Read More |
(Emily Hazlett) 6/5/2014 4:22 PM EDT The latest young adult book turned movie, "The Fault in Our Stars", will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. This film tells the love story of Hazel Grace Lancaster, (Shailene Woodley, Divergent), and Augustus (Gus) Waters (Ansel Elgort, Divergent), and how they come to support each other through some of the most unimagina...

(Sean Ferguson) 5/29/2014 11:29 PM EDT And I know it's trueThat visions are seldom all they seem….. When it comes to the tale of Sleeping Beauty, the previous visions are definitely not what they have seemed. With the current release of Disney's "Maleficent", it seems as if the fairytale of our youth was a simplified, one sided tall tale. Yes, as we all know, t... Read More |
