Star Trek Beyond

The summer box office season hit a bit of a slump.  While animated fare has been plentiful and dominant, there have not been enough “must see” movies this summer.  Independence Day: Resurgence, Tarzan, etc. were not enough to get me excited about this summer season.  Audiences were waiting for an event movie, and Star Trek B...

Merry Christmas movie lovers!  We have hit the second best time of the year for movies.  This week is a slow one as it does not contain any big budget releases.  During a brief hiatus from blockbusters like The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Frozen and the new Hobbit movie, Relativity Media released its dark drama, Out of t...

REVIEW: Colombiana is a B-Movie with Style

Colombiana





Directed By: Olivier Megaton

Starring: Zoe Saldana, Cliff Curtis, Michael Vartan, Lennie James, Amandla Stenberg, and Jordi Mollá

I generally have low expectations for movies that are released during the month of August.  Hollywood throws a lot of crap at moviegoers at this time.  It's not quite the summer season with big budget blockbusters every week, nor is it the fall season with high-quality films contending for awards.  Colombiana, starring Zoe Saldana, is a pleasant surprise d...
