I realize that I've been reducing the frequency of my reviews as of late. I've been absent since Logan and am just now coming out of the shadows. There's a method to my madness, however, and it's not just reviewing big event movies or awards darlings. I could m...

Starring: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Bridges, Kurt Russell, Djimon Hounsou, and Jason Statham
With seven movies over fifteen years, the Fast & Furious franchise has certainly had a lengthy run on the big screen. Still, it doesn't look like this series is riding into the sunset anytime soon. Unfortunately for all those who loved Dom's family as we know it, we lost one of its core members. ... Continue reading ...

2013 has undoubtedly been a huge year for 3D cartoon adventures. In past years, there has typically been one, possibly two big animated films.

Resident Evil: Retribution SoberFilmChick
Directed by: Paul W.S. Anderson Starring: Milla Jovovich, Michelle Rodriguez, Boris Kodjoe, Shawn Roberts, Bingbing Li, Oded Fehr, Sienna Guillory
