Frozen II

(Eric English) 2/24/2020 3:52 PM EDT
Cultural phenomenons are rare. Disney, while certainly no stranger to creating them, found something special in 2013's ‘Frozen'. Even if you've never seen the film (do you people actually exist?), It's likely you've been treated to an impromptu rendition of its Oscar-winning song "Let It Go" by an enthusiastic young "Elsa"...

Taika Waititi has an impressive and eclectic body of work. From vampires living a mundane life to assembling the largest group of superheroes, he has entertained audiences with his unique writing and filmmaking style. His latest offering, Jojo Rabbit, leans more on the controversial side with viewers divided as to whether or not it is a brill... Read More

21 Bridges

Director Brian Kirk (Game of Thrones) is known for television so he made an interesting choice with his feature film directorial debut and the outcome eludes to his past experiences. In 2019, he brought 21 Bridges, a police "procedural" starring Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther) to theaters. The intense drama chronicles a polic... Read More

Ford v Ferrari

(Alyn Darnay) 2/14/2020 11:41 AM EDT
Some memories never fade and a great film sometimes has a way of making them all that more vivid. One I'll never forget is racing through the canyons of Beverley, Coldwater, Laurel, and Topanga in my brand new GT 350 Ford Shelby Mustang. Sure wish I still owned that car, it has always been my favorite and fastest. Thank you, Carroll Shelby, for a l... Read More

Motherless Brooklyn

However, it would be another nineteen years before the film actually got made. With Norton starring in, writing and directing the film, it truly became a labor of love for him. H... Read More

In 1984 James Cameron only had two directing credits to his name when he wrote The Terminator. Initially, the studios and the actors involved weren't very optimistic about the project but it became a hit worldwide and created a franchise that has spanned over thirty years. This past Fall the sixth installment hit movie theaters and ... Read More

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 1/19/2020 5:12 PM EDT
Back in 1994 a little known writer/director named Kevin Smith (Mallrats) exploded onto the Hollywood scene with his feature film debut, Clerks.
