Movie Review: ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ Starring Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, Taron Egerton

Double-0-Kickass They say whats old is new again, and in the case of Kingsman: The Secret Service directed by Matthew Vaughn, this statement rings true.

Movie Review: ‘John Wick’ Starring Keanu Reeves, Willem Dafoe, Michael Nyqvist, Bridget Moynahan

Movie Review: ‘Dawn of The Planet of The Apes’ Starring Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman

As far as reboots of well established franchises go, Rise of the Planet of the Apes certainly ranked among the ones that was (or is, if you still haven’t seen it) very well worth your time. I certainly wish more sequels would turn out like this one. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes leads off […]

Review: ‘Escape Plan’ Starring Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger

Are you looking for a movie with a deeply complex plot that may affect the very way you think? Are you possibly looking for a movie in which the main conflict at hand is resolved with none other than witty banter and or inspirational lines of dialogue? If you were looking for either one of […]

Review: ‘Baggage Claim’ Starring Paula Patton, Taye Diggs, Adam Brody, Djimon Hounsou

Over the course of every year, there are a number of romantic comedies that drop. Almost by default, men all over the world tend to have the reflex of rolling their eyes upon even seeing the trailer of said genre of movie. To be fair, there are stand-out movies that happen to be centered on […]
