The summer movie season is winding to a close. Like most summers in the 21st Century, this summer has been one chock full of sequels. Much of the time, sequels are “meh” and fail to…

August is over, which means that fall is just around the corner. As much as I love fall, I wish that the summer could extend for just a few more weeks. Alas, the world does…

When it comes to war movies, there are two wars that seem to get way more silver screen recognition than the others: the Vietnam War and World War II. While this makes for some great…

Recently, I got tickets for John Carpenter’s upcoming Anthology Tour (I’m beyond excited) and it seemed like the perfect moment to finally tackle this list. I have had this list on my mind for years…

Not all children’s entertainment is created equal. If you ask any parent, they can without fail rattle off a movie list of forbidden movies. These have often driven the parents crazy at some point. On…

Remember when Jeremy Renner was in every action movie between the years 2011-2015? How about when Jai Courtney was in every action movie between 2015-2017? Or when it was Taylor Kitsch from 2009-2011? These people…
