There are harrowing moments when the entire world’s attention is riveted upon a tragedy, such as 9/11 or this past Friday’s terror attacks in Paris. Thankfully, there are also uplifting moments that unite the planet, and the rescue of 33 Chilean miners in 2010 after 69 days trapped in a mine after its collapse is […]
Daniel Craig may be the sixth man to play James Bond, but he sure knows how to breathe new life into a series that has now spawned 26 films in 52 years. While 2009’s “Quantum of Solace” was a misfire, the others he’s made since taking over the iconic role of Britain’s top assassin — […]
The TV ads for the new movie “Steve Jobs,” about the legendary business mogul who founded Apple and gave the world the Macintosh and IMac computers in addition to IPods, IPads and smartphones, ask an intriguing question: “Can a great man also be a good man?” It’s the kind of question Jesus asked frequently in […]
Everyone loves getting a little scared during Halloween season, and this weekend offers two distinctly different kinds of frights for distinctly different audiences – yet both are highly recommended as being among the best films of the year so far. “Goosebumps” offers Jack Black at his best in a “Ghostbusters”-quality romp that is the most […]
When faced with pure evil, how far can one go in the pursuit of justice and revenge?

Johnny Depp is an actor who knows how to completely submerge himself in a role, and for most of his career, he has been putting those skills into the service of quirky movies kids could enjoy, ranging from “Pirates of the Caribbean” to “Alice in Wonderland” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” But in the […]
DATEWORTHY? YES, BUT… with a slight warning. This first-class monster movie/adventure film features amazing effects, a top-notch cast, and an utterly ridiculous amount of action. It’s a real hoot as campy fun, but there are some scenes with some grossly funny fluid-spewing from creatures and this certainly isn’t a romantic film. But if you like […]
DATEWORTHY? Yes, but be forewarned that its attitudes and jokes about sex are pretty casual early on, before the story develops into a more moral storyline with a surprisingly pro-life attitude.
