Not much more can be said about Robert De Niro that hasn’t been said already. He’s one of the best to ever grace the screen, some would argue the very best. He gives every performance his all and defines what method acting is. This weekend, De Niro stars in the boxing drama Hands of Stone. So in honor of that, here is a look at the best Robert De Niro movies. And, to make it a little…

I am claiming 2016 The Year of Animation. So many animated movies have been released and most of them have been very, very good. Finding Dory and Sausage Party led the way in terms of quality, but both may have just been jumped by Kubo and the Two Strings. This is an imaginative, heartwarming, exciting film that features some of the best animation I have ever seen on screen. Kubo and the Two Strings follows our cycloptic…

It takes a wild and crazy director to bring a wild a crazy story to life. War Dogs has both of these things. Director Todd Phillips, known mostly for his comedic work, lends his directorial talents to this incredible true story about two twentysomething stoners (Miles Teller and Jonah Hill) who become international arms dealers. The story is almost too obscure to be real. But Phillips knows how to handle chaos well and not over do…

On Twitter today, one of the trending topics is #fav7films. People in the Twittersphere would post their seven favorite movies of all-time. The lists are very interesting to read, as they were incredibly diverse and unique. When I think of my “favorite” movies, I think of the movies that I would watch if I were to watch seven movies over and over again for the rest of my life. These aren’t the “best movies” or…

Sausage Party is possibly the most vulgar movie I have ever seen. It makes South Park: Bigger Longer, and Uncut (1999) look like Sesame Street. It is a coarse, crude, gross, hour and a half-long sex joke that is uproariously funny, incredibly quotable, and wonderfully animated. Sausage Party is about a hot dog, Frank (voiced by Seth Rogen), who is patiently waiting to be purchased with his hot dog bun girlfriend, Brenda (Kristen Wiig) so that he can finally…

“Worst. Heroes. Ever.” That’s the tag line for Suicide Squad. And while they may not be the absolute worst, they’re pretty bad. “Worst. Movie. Ever.” That’s the thought that ran through my mind a couple times while sitting through the neon-colored vomit that is Suicide Squad. It may not be the absolute worst, but it’s pretty bad. Suicide Squad is a complete and utter disaster. A film so thin in story and so bloated with characters that…

This weekend, the highly anticipated comic book film Suicide Squad comes out. Though I have my reservations about the film, one of the things that makes me the most excited is the cast. It’s a perfect mix of big name Hollywood talent, stars on the rise, and relative unknowns. So before you see the movie, check out my favorite movies from the Suicide Squad cast. I am going to focus on the main cast members and the director and discuss…

And here we are, the homestretch of the summer movie season. The months of blockbusters, sequels, and franchises are coming to a close. But, we still have one month left, and that month is August. August can be either a dead month for movies or can have some really great films come out. Such films as Straight Outta Compton (2015), Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), The Help (2011), and Inglorious Basterds (2009) dropped in August and all made huge splashes critically and financially….
