  • J.J. Abrams to direct ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’

    Well, it looks like we finally have a director for the already massively-hyped Star Wars sequel. The man taking on the job? None other than Star Trek director J.J. Abrams! This is quite an interesting turn of events, as Abrams at one point made it quite clear that he was NOT going to be involved.…

  • My Most Anticipated Movies of 2013

    2012 was a great year for movies and it’s going to be hard for 2013 to match it. As always, I’m sure there will be movies that come along that I didn’t know about or didn’t know much about that will knock me on my ass and make me wonder why the hell I didn’t…

  • ‘Zombieland’ TV show back on track

    The 2009 hit zombie comedy ‘Zombieland‘ may not be getting the big screen sequel everyone wants, but news has just broke that a spin-off TV show is heading to Amazon Instant Video. It is set to take place after the events of ‘Zombieland’, although the original cast will more than likely not be returning. Eisenberg,…

  • The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) Review

    The legacy Peter Jackson left behind with The Lord of the Rings was massive. Jackson had successfully adapted 3 of the most cherished and beloved fantasy epics of all time to the big screen, and suddenly the world of Tolkien had opened up to an entirely new generation. The films were huge box office-successes; they…

  • Silver Linings Playbook (2012) Review

    David O. Russell is a director that I first discovered with 2010’s great movie, The Fighter. With that movie he took a very simple story that we’ve all heard before, yet he made it seem fresh because of well-written dialogue and strong performances. It was an emotional roller coaster that put a completely different spin…

  • Zero Dark Thirty (2012) Review

    When everyone heard that Osama bin Laden had been killed in 2011, the U.S. breathed a huge sigh of relief. We were finally able to find the man responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent American citizens after a decade-long manhunt. At the same time, Kathryn Bigelow, who was just coming off the huge…

  • The Bourne Legacy (2012) Review

    The Bourne trilogy contains some of the best action / espionage films ever created. They are extremely well scripted, acted and executed, and really raised the bar for what is possible for these types of movies. When that trilogy came to an end, many people were still thirsty for more (especially considering how fantastic the…

  • House at the End of the Street (2012) Review

    With a movie that has such a generic title, you might expect that it would be a red herring. The Cabin in the Woods was a similar situation, and it ended up being one of my favorite horror satires of all-time. House at the End of the Street is not horror satire; in fact, it…

  • The Cabin in the Woods (2012) Review

    A horror film that is clever and original is something that you seldom see in this day and age. The genre is overflowing with films that have paper-thin plots that are buried with gore, nudity and cheap scares as a way to cover up the shortcomings. With the vast majority of these films being panned…
