Who doesn’t love Matt Damon? He has as much talent as does charisma, making him one of Hollywood’s golden boys. However, compared to other stars like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and even his buddy Ben Affleck, Damon isn’t the superstar he deserves to be. He consistently makes great movies and always gives excellent performances. So, in honor of Suburbicon coming out this weekend, here are my favorite Matt Damon movies. 5 – TEAM…

Comic Con 2016 happened last weekend and because of this, we got our first peak at some of the most exciting movies coming out within the next year or so. There were a lot of cool, expected trailers that dropped, even a few surprises here and there. Here are my picks for the best trailers from Comic Con 2016. You can watch all the trailers, via Collider, by clicking right here. 5…

With horror master James Wan as a producer and a couple of great trailers, Lights Out looked like it could rival The Conjuring 2 as the horror movie of the summer. But apparently when the lights go out in Lights Out, so do the scares, as this turns from potential scarefest to a boring mess. Lights Out follows a family who is being terrorized by a demon who only appears in the dark and they must figure out a…

Before the summer movie season started, I listed Star Trek Beyond number one on my list of Potential Busts this summer. The trailers didn’t look great, J.J Abrams left the director’s chair and replacing him was Justin Lin, who’s only good films were Fast Five (2011) and Fast 6 (2013). I don’t like admitting when I’m wrong, but I will here. Star Trek Beyond is far from a bust. It’s not a perfect movie, but it is an extremely entertaining…

Want to hear something insane? The Ice Age franchise is still pushing out movies. That’s right, the D-grade animated series about a sabertooth tiger, a sloth, and a wooly mammoth doing whacky shenanigans during the prehistoric era is releasing it’s fifth, that’s right, FIFTH movie this Friday with Ice Age: Collision Course. Does anybody care? I know I don’t. The characters are tired, the movies get dumber, and they keep making less money. Why do they continue to…

Paul Fieg’s Ghostbusters is the most divisive movie of 2016 and it all happened before it even came out. After the first trailer became the most disliked video on YouTube, tons of internet trolls bashed the film, claiming it a bad before anybody ever saw it. Well trolls, I have one thing to say to you. Suck it! Ghostbusters is pure awesomeness. A worthy reboot with a cool plot, tons of comedy, a great cast, and exciting action….

Tomorrow, Paul Fieg’s Ghostbusters hits theaters, much to the dismay of internet trolls. This is a reboot of the classic 1984 paranormal comedy. For those who don’t know the difference between a reboot and a sequel, a sequel continues with the same overall story from a previous film and a reboot is essentially a reinvention of a familiar property, like Ghostbusters. Same characters, new stories, new filmmaking, different actors. So in honor of Ghostbusters, here is a look at the best…

We are officially halfway through 2016! Crazy how time flies. Instead of making a long, long list of my favorite movies and performances from the first half of the year and explaining why, I am going to break it down like the Oscars. I’m going to list my five (or 10 in the Best Picture) nominees, which are my favorite performances thus far, and then name a winner, which is the equivalent to my number…

The summer 2016 movie season has been a solid one, but the one thing it has been missing is a great comedy. The best one we got so far was The Nice Guys, but that movie had a body count as high as its laugh count. It needed one that was as fun as it was funny. With Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, we finally got the comedy that we needed this summer. It is a…

The Secret Life of Pets just shows how brilliant Pixar is. No, Pixar did not make the film. Illumination Entertainment, the company behind the Despicable Me series, did, and you can tell they don’t have the same think tank Pixar has. This isn’t to say The Secret Life of Pets is a bad movie, because it’s not. But, after a great marketing campaign and a solid voice cast behind the film, the movie is cute and sometimes…
