"All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you." The Lord of the Rings trilogy has been an influential set of films within the modern blockbusters. Not only were they one of the few fantasy films at the time that made a profit, but they were also a blueprint for future franchises on how to create their own successful series, including the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Granted, some even tried the "shooting their sequels back-to-back" approach that this

For twenty years, The Devil Wears Prada has been an essential piece of media for anyone wishing to start a career in the fashion industry. The dream of working for a publication is one any girl would kill for. However, for Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway), it is her desperate, final attempt to work for a reputable publication after graduating from Northwestern University. A journalism major, Andy looks down on Runway and those in the fashion industry for being frivolous and not bei

"I live my life a quarter mile at a time...for those ten seconds or less, I'm free." Truth be told: I actually didn't have any plans on writing a review for The Fast and the Furious, until the Cannes Film Festival announced they were doing a midnight screening at their event. And realizing that it's been 25 years since this action flick came out, I figured it was time to give my thoughts on it. As a long time fan of the franchise, I enjoyed revisiting this entertaining, popco

With the recent string of musician biographies coming out like Michael , I figured it would be a perfect opportunity to go back and revisit another big named musician by the name of Johnny Cash with James Mangold's Walk the Line . Afterall, this was a critical and commercial success at the time, earning the film five Academy Award nominations and even became the highest-grossing music biopic until F Gary Gray's Straight Outta Compton dethroned it. So, what did I think of it

Lately, I've been on a binge to watch/rewatch the more recent Best Picture-nominated films that went home with nothing on Oscar night. I've even made some articles on what may have happened to them over on my Substack account. Since I had a copy of War Horse hiding away in my endless DVD collection, I figured it was time to open this bad boy out and see what I thought of it. Unfortunately, War Horse falls right into the same problems I've been having with Steven Spielberg fro

"You killed him." "No, I shot him. Bullets and the fall killed him." Do you love Michael Mann films? How about one with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx, driving all around Los Angeles for one whole night? Then we got a movie for you named Collateral . It's a high-octane, fast-paced, action thriller with a nail-biting story and a couple of terrific performances by our two leads. The film revolves around cab driver, Max, who picks up Vincent and offers the man $600 to drive him aroun

Despite not being the biggest Coen brothers fan, there's something about No Country For Old Men that just clicks for me. Whether it'd be the terrific ensemble, the detailed writing, or the quiet but subdued pacing, it's a film that's always been on my mind for quite some time. The film follows Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), who stumbles upon a botched up drug deal and takes a briefcase that holds $2 million in cash. He discovers he's being followed by a merciless killer by the

As an enjoyer of internet memes and gifs, Nicolas Cage has always been a gold mine. His turns in Con Air, Face/Off, National Treasure,...
