Arrival
Directed By: Denis Villeneuve
Starring: Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whitaker, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Tzi Ma
It's been one hell of a week. For the better part of it, I've been sleepless and sick to my stomach as I reflect on bizarre, hateful turn of political events. It truly pains me to accept that Donald J. Trump will be moving into the White House toward the end of January. It's absolutely befuddling. America is speaking two languages, one of love and respect for our fellow ma...

"When the Earth starts to settle, God throws a stone at it. And believe me. He's winding up." -Ultron (James Spader)
Starring: Marion Cotillard, Joaquin Phoenix, and Jeremy Renner
Because I get the pleasure of reviewing both mainstream and independent flicks, some movies are just ill-timed. Take The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for instance. Though a fun, wonderful film, it wasn't exactly the movie to see the same day as The Avengers. Lincoln wasn't exactly the most riveting film to follow up Skyfall either.

American Hustle
Directed By: David O. Russell
Starring: Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Jennifer Lawrence, Louis C.K., Michael Peña, and Robert De Niro

2011 was a good year for comic book movies, but 2012 is the year of the superhero movie. If movies were people, last year's comic book flick... Continue reading ...

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
Directed By: Brad Bird
Starring: Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, and Anil Kapoor
It's hard to believe that it's been five years since our last outing with Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the Impossible Mission Force (IMF). Having seen the latest installment in this famed action series, I have only one thing to say. Tom Cruise has still got it!
Agent Jane Carter (Paula Patton) and Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg) break Agent Hunt (Cruise) out of priso... Continue reading ...
