Every movie offers the opportunity to take a viewer away to another time and place. If a film is well made, it can be a visceral experience that puts the audience directly into the shoes of the protagonist. That is exactly what director Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Flight) accomplishes in his latest film, The Walk. The Walk recounts the […]
Disney granted Star Wars Rebels a full twenty-three episodes this season, and with that order comes inevitable filler. Not to be too cynical, but with twenty-three time slots to fill this season, not every episode can push the plot onward. “Wings of the Master”, like “Brothers of the Broken Horn” before it, are perfect examples of […]
This week’s episode of Star Wars Rebels finds our intrepid heroes on something like leave from active duty. Relaxing for them, but not so interesting for us. For an episode so low on plot movement, though, we’re still treated to a few great moments. Rex is finding himself right at home among the crew of the Ghost. So much […]

Little does the Agent Kallus […]

Unfortunately, with new allies come new enemies. […]
The long in-development Steve Jobs movie is finally here after a long road through development hell to the big-screen. Academy Award winning director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours) directs the biopic from a screenplay written by Aaron Sorkin (Moneyball, A Few Good Men) about the co-founder of Apple, who helped to lead a technological revolution in the […]
The Flash returned to airwaves last night after an incredibly successful debut season. The show managed to adapt a comic book that has a lead character who is struck by lightning, which embues him with super speed enabling him to break the laws of physics. Yeah, it’s a pretty far out concept… However, producers Greg Berlanti, […]
Gangster films have been around since the dawn of film and the tales of people who live brazenly on the wrong side of the law, has been ripe material for movies for almost one hundred years.

In an era of uninspired reboots, there was many skeptics and even more apathy for the new sequel, Jurassic World.

However beneath it all, seemed to be a glimmer of the classic and at the end of the day, […]
Disney and director Brad Bird (The Incredibles) went through extreme measures to keep the story for Tomorrowland under wraps, which served to heighten expectations for anyone paying attention.
