Matt Damon has long been an interesting choice for the character of Jason Bourne, a man assigned that name as a false cover identity after he was brainwashed by the CIA to become a super-agent and then suffered amnesia. Damon is one of Hollywood’s most outspoken liberals, so the very idea of him playing a […]
Science-fiction can be a difficult genre of film for non-geeky, Average Joes and Janes to get their heads around. Often, the creation of new worlds and inventive forms of technology can simply become confusing if one isn’t already predisposed to being a technical genius, but there are some forms of science fiction that become so […]
In a summer ranging from uninspired retreads (“Now You See Me 2,” “Independence Day: Resurgence”) to big-budget original busts (“The BFG”) to at least one solid hit (“Finding Dory”), no film has drawn as much buzz or stirred up as much frenzied controversy as the “Ghostbusters” reboot. Sony Pictures brought top creative talents in for […]
The 4th of July is of course a great time for fireworks, but it’s also a great time to go and see movies. This summer hasn’t been as good as recent ones for films, but there’s a few fun ones out there. “Finding Dory” is fantastic for all ages, and “Central Intelligence” is easily the […]
Greta Gerwig is perhaps the most underrated actress working in Hollywood today. A blond beauty with a grace and sweetness that makes her feel like she stepped straight out of the 1920s flapper era and into a present-day world that doesn’t know how to handle her sparkling personality, she has lit up the silver screen […]
Everyone can remember a mortifying moment from their high school days, or can relate to the feeling of having fallen from the heights of popularity and success in that period.

But in 2013, a movie called “The Conjuring” burst upon the summer movie scene to become a scary sensation in its own […]
It’s amazing how much ego a human being can have if left unchecked. That’s the lesson found in two current movies that are seemingly disparate on the surface, but have a lot in common in both form and substance. “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping” is a ribald yet occasionally funny mockumentary spoofing the boy band/Justin […]
When Tim Burton brought Lewis Carroll’s classic tale “Alice in Wonderland” to life on the big screen in 2010, he captured lightning in a bottle. Through a combination of lavish effects and costumes that wound up winning Oscars, a star-studded cast having fun playing their iconic roles, and most of all, the giddy weirdness of […]
Sometimes there’s a fine line between good taste and bad taste. A filmmaker can choose to tackle an “adult,” R-rated subject with class – avoiding graphic sex or violence and leaving extreme behavior to be implied offscreen – or simply wallow in the worst behavior human beings have to offer. This weekend, the nation’s movie […]
