A fine cast, a notable director and some very nice camerawork create Luc Besson's newest film The Family. Delivering a lot of family angst mixed with a good measure of chaos the movie works its way into the kind of comedy that often takes a chunk out of the box-office. Starring Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer and Tommy Lee Jones The F... Read More

"Somewhere along the way I lost a step… gotta find that animal side again."Those words, croaked early in the film by Vin Diesel's titular antihero and bathed in metatextuality, sum up far more than the character's intentions. Riddick manages to salvage a franchise that faltered by adopting the strategy that A Good Day to Di... Read More
