Blu-ray Review: Comedy Caper MORTDECAI With Johnny Depp And An All Star Cast Is Great Fun

Robert Downey Jr. Should Save Movies And Not Help Kill Them

I like Robert Downey Jr. He’s a great actor with a tremendous screen presence and you have to admire how he pulled himself through his drug and alcohol troubles to become the highest paid actor on the planet. He’s made more money than he’ll [...]

TERMINATOR GENISYS Payoff Trailer Pays Off

The influx of superhero movies means that people have very little time for old-school actioners. Terminator Genisys might have a CGI sheen but at it’s core it’s an ’80s action movie. I mean this literally of course, because [...]
