Humanity also had me laughing at myself, at me and mine, which is healthy, which actually feels good, and is easy to do when you are in the company of a legitimate satirist as opposed to a left-wing bigot...
NBC's Taken is in reality the anti-Taken, the Bizzaro Taken -- the exact opposite of everything that made the original movie so popular and enduring
All of this fail comes down to an audience rapidly losing faith in the quality of DC's storytelling, a faith that will not be resurrected by Justice League
Suburbicon is Clooney's sixth directorial effort and fifth shot at screenwriting. How many swings does this guy get before his bubbled worshipers in Hollywood and the entertainment wake up to the fact...
Over 5 seasons and 52 episodes (now available on Bluray), TNT’s “Falling Skies” is a modern-day retelling of the American Revolution but with aliens as our oppressors as opposed to the...

Before I get too far into reviews where I'm "fanboy compromised," I like to disclose that fact -- I enjoyed 1995's Descent a lot. So when I saw that Sigtrap Games had released a rogue-like Descent-like...
The recently-released first season of “Empire” has a lot to offer — part “Dynasty,” part “Glee” and — to those familiar with the fascinating and sordid history...
Make no mistake; the new thriller in theaters called Sicario is no documentary-style production of the drug war in Mexico. It’s a movie like any other, with its exaggerations and stylistic decisions....
For once a trailer did not lie. The previews for “Terminator Genisys” look like an uninspired mess; the movie itself is an uninspired mess. When it comes to action films, we don’t ask...
