Extraction, Netflix's latest action film starring Chris Hemsworth, written by the Russo brothers of Marvel Fame, and veteran stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave's directorial debut. Does Extraction succeed in what Netflix wanted with mid-budget action flick? For the most part, yes, Extraction is another movie under Netflix's belt that proves they can compete with larger studios like Disney and Universal when it...
While working on the film Rust, in New Mexico, Alec Baldwin accidentally fired a gun, killing one and wounding another. Supposedly, Alec was practicing drawing his gun and was told the gun was “cold” - a weapon without ammo. At one point the trigger was pressed, and the gun was pointed towards the crew and staff. Unfortunately, the gun went...
When I was 13 years old, I found an old set of DVDs in my parent's living room cabinet in a metal box with the title "Band of Brothers" enshrined on the front. I looked at the front cover. A group of soldiers stood in the destroyed ruins of a city, some talking to each other and others staring...

It’s hardly anything but if you want to watch the movies 100% uninformed then beware. When I think about it, Marvel Studios is producing something more like a giant TV series than a bunch of movies. Starting with the first Iron Man,...
The Batman The Trailer Garnering twice the views as the trailer for the Snyder Cut, the trailer for The Batman was arguably the biggest event during FanDome. It showed Robert Pattinson in action as the title hero for the first time. It also shows the Riddler (played by Paul Dano) as the main villain lurking in the background in addition to Catwoman...
With the Coronavirus Pandemic taking over the entire world, many people have been forced to stay in their homes as much as possible, with schools and businesses closing as a result. Since all of us are going to be cooped up in our homes for at least another month, I decided to list out some films and TV to...
It is a shame that today’s movies can't hold a candle to the cinema of yesteryear. Movies like Hotel Transylvania 2, Pixels, and The Maze Runner invade our screens and only occasionally are interrupted by a great movie. Kids disregard true movie magic in favor of animation and repetitive action sequences. The imperative of making a great film is...
