Fans of […] More

Happy Loop Day from the first ‘Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children’ teaser
Try getting that song out of your head now. The first teaser for director Tim Burton’s upcoming, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children , was released on Friday and didn’t offer a look at the film, but was a hint at the mood and Burton-esque feel to the movie. The film stars Asa Butterfield, Eva […] More

In Defense of the Neeson/Collet-Serra Duo
Some of the best things in life come in pairs, and film is no different. No, I don’t mean sequels and/or remakes, because I think we all know how those often turn out. Instead, I mean those actors and directors who very frequently collaborate on films, so much so that it feels odd when the […] More

‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ sacrifices fun for action, with mixed results
The Avengers clicked with both Marvel fans and general audiences because we loved watching these massive egos clash for the first time. It was the perfect blend of action and attitude, and its mastermind, Joss Whedon, was handed the golden ticket to Marvel’s keystone franchise. The long-awaited sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron, shows the strain of trying to be bigger-and-better while still indulging the subtle pleasures of its predecessor. It succeeds, just barely, on the strength of a talented cast and our fondness for these characters. Still, it’s a decidedly somber affair that will turn off casual fans, and it stands as the most impersonal, and arguable weakest installment of Marvel’s vaunted “Phase Two.” More

‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ is the Bond adventure they don’t make anymore
While officially the script to Kingsman: The Secret Service is credited to director Matthew Vaughn and fellow scribe Jane Goldman, the truth of the matter is that the film represents a reunification of sorts between the veteran British director and comic book author and ‘enfant terrible’ Mark Millar. Their first foray into cinematically transposing a comic book was with 2010’s Kick-Ass, More

‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ is more smarm than charm
There’s a hilarious moment in the classic ‘80s comedy Planes, Trains & Automobiles when Steve Martin has finally had enough of John Candy’s inane anecdotes. “When you’re telling these little stories,” he instructs Candy, “here’s a good idea… have a point. It makes it so much more interesting for the listener!” If only the makers of the new spy actioner Kingsman: The Secret Service had taken that advice. Despite all of its self-satisfied smugness, Kingsman neglects to give us a coherent story, consistent tone, or anything worth caring about. It’s ironic that a film trying so hard to be inventive and outrageous ends up being such a derivative bore. More

Thanks for Noticing, Golden Guy: Top Ten Oscar-Nominated Actor Acknowledgements
The 87th Academy Award nominations were released on January 15, 2015 representing the excellence in film for the previous year.
