The Life of RyanWhen it comes to ending a series, I have found that not many directors, writers, or really anyone, has the formula to give the perfect ending that will make fans of the series happy. The real quest, these days, is to create an ending good enough for the audience to accept it, and leave it open enough just in case any network might d... Read More

Bridge of Spies

For children of the 50's, Bridge of Spies will be a nostalgic look back at a time when the world was a very different place. For those of us from younger generations, it will be an interesting view of world events from when communism overran half of Germany.

San Andreas

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 10/12/2015 2:05 PM EDT
It's a well-circulated idea that at some point California is going to break off and fall into the ocean.
