It could be argued that Steven Spielberg is the greatest director of all-time. His movies make a bunch of money and are just great movies. He makes movies with the audience in mind and they rarely disappoint. This Friday, his latest feature, Ready Player One, comes out, a film that looks a lot like the nostalgic Spielberg of old. So, in honor of the master’s latest film, here are my five favorite Steven Spielberg movies. …

Nothing screams summer movies quite like necrophilia and cannibalism, am I right? No? Well apparently it does to Nicolas Winding Refn. The Neon Demon is a Tinseltown horror film. It takes us deep into the underbelly of the modeling world and shows us a dark, twisted side that is filled with lies, deceit, blood, and glitter. When aspiring model Jesse (Elle Fanning) moves to Los Angeles searching for fame, her innocence and vitality disappears as she…

If Jaws (1975), 127 Hours (2010), and Sharknado (2013) had a messy threesome, the end result would be The Shallows. This is a relentless, roller-coaster ride in the ocean that starts off very interesting and suspenseful but takes a wild left turn into absurdity and unintentional hilarity. Blake Lively stars as Nancy, a surfer who is attacked by a great white shark while ripping a wave. She saves her self by swimming onto a rock 200 yards away from shore. Nancy must use…

Matthew McConaughey has had the quite the career. Kicking it off in the nineties, he was all over the place in terms of genre, being in Oscar worthy dramas, to indies, to comedies. In the 2000’s, McConaughey became the king of romantic comedies, punching out what seemed to be one or two every year. But it was the 2010’s where his career really blew up. Kicking off what is now known as the McConaissance, he has…

Over the weekend, we lost a great, young talent in Anton Yelchin. The 27 year old actor passed away tragically in what is being called a “freak accident”. Yelchin was a great rising talent and one who consistently put out impressive performances every time. So, in honor of this young man’s legacy, here are my favorite Anton Yelchin movies. 5 – CHEKOV in STAR TREK (J.J Abrams, 2009) One of the few big…

For a movie called Central Intelligence, the movie is incredibly stupid. I understand that its intention is suppose to be a fun, mind-less action comedy, but it fails on all fronts. It isn’t fun, it isn’t funny, and the plot far too complex for its own good and incredibly predictable. Kevin Hart stars as Calvin Joyner, a former high school hotshot who is now an unhappy accountant. When former classmate, now C.I.A agent, Bob Stone (Dwayne…

Finding Dory is the best Pixar film since Toy Story 3 (2010). It takes everything that was great about Finding Nemo (2003) and elevates it to new heights. It’s a funny, exciting, captivating sequel featuring great characters, new and old, and will pull at the heartstrings as much as any other Pixar movie. Finding Dory takes place one year after the events of Finding Nemo. This time, Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) searches the entire ocean and an aquarium to find…

Over the last twenty-five-plus years, Pixar has dominated animated film. Since Toy Story back in 1995, Pixar has changed the animation game forever, garnering awards and pushing the limits of what animation can do. Some of the movies may not be perfect, but none are terrible and there is always something enjoyable in each of them. Here is my ranking of all the Pixar movies. 23 – CARS 2 (John Lasetter, Brad…
