Top 5 – Pie Scenes in a Movie

Top 5 – Pie Scenes in a Movie

Today is Pi Day (3.14), so to have a little fun, here are the best pie scenes in cinematic history.       5 – Sweeney Todd and the Demon Barber of Fleet Street  (Tim Burton, 2007) Sweeney Todd and the Demon Barber of Fleet Street is one of my favorite musicals of all-time and one of Tim Burton’s best films.  Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter) and her pies are horrible, as her intro song implies….

Review – 10 Cloverfield Lane

Review – 10 Cloverfield Lane

I am going to give this review without giving too much away because 10 Cloverfield Lane is a movie that you need to see with as little information about the movie as possible when going in. Thanks in large part to a brilliant marketing campaign with stellar trailers, 10 Cloverfield Lane is, much like the last movie with word ‘Cloverfield’ in the title, a giant mystery.  Nobody really knows what is going on and that makes for one a thrilling,…

Throwback Thursday Review – Cloverfield (2008)

Throwback Thursday Review – Cloverfield (2008)

Cloverfield was one of the biggest mysteries of 2007.  After the first teaser trailer premiered before Transformers, it was a movie that everyone was talking about, with the major question being, “What is running through New York?” The question has finally been answered.  Cloverfield is one of the most unique and original monster movies I have ever seen.  It has a great style and tension, but the monster and overall movie did not live up to…

Top 5 – Moments in the ‘Captain America: Civil War’ Trailer

Top 5 – Moments in the ‘Captain America: Civil War’ Trailer

Top 5 – Teaser Trailers

Top 5 – Teaser Trailers

With 10 Cloverfiled Lane coming out on Friday, the sequel (I think) of the 2008 found footage monster movie Cloverfield.  Both films had great teaser trailers, especially the first one.  Along with Cloverfield, there have been a lot of legendary teaser trailers, which is what I will be looking at today.  A teaser trailer isn’t a full on trailer that gives you all the characters and plot.  They give you a taste, hence the word, tease….

Top 5 – Actors That Could Play J Jonah Jameson

Top 5 – Actors That Could Play J Jonah Jameson

It was announced yesterday that Oscar winner J.K. Simmons will be playing Commissioner Gordon in The Justice League (2017).  While this is great news for DC and The Justice League, this does sadden me a bit.  This ultimately means that Simmons will be unable to reprise his role as J. Jonah Jameson in the upcoming Spider-Man reboot, scheduled to come out in 2017.  Simmons portrayal of Jameson is iconic and arguably the best part of the Sam Raimi directed Spider-Man films….

Top 5 – Awesome Movies Coming Out in March

Top 5 – Awesome Movies Coming Out in March

February has come and gone, and it was surprisingly a great month in cinema.  Movies like Deadpool, Hail, Caesar, and The Witch were all great in their own way and were bright spots in what is usually a dead month for movies.  But now, it is on the March, which is usually the real start to the cinematic year.  I probably should have made this last before this past weekend so I could have put…

Review – London Has Fallen

Review – London Has Fallen

London Has Fallen is complete chaos.  It’s a no-holds-barred, adrenalin fueled action flick that is as violent as it is stupid. When the London Prime Minister dies, it brings all the world leaders to the funeral, including the American President, Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart).  During the funeral, there is an attack on London attempting to kill all the world leaders.  It is now up to Asher’s number one agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) to keep…

Review – Zootopia

Review – Zootopia

Zootopia has been advertised in the trailers as this cute little comedy about a universe where animals live together.  This movie is way more than that.  This is a crime film with twists and turns that is filled with rich characters and police drama and deep meanings about stereotyping, all while being an incredibly entertaining and fun children’s film. Zootopia tells the story of a small town bunny named Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin).  Judy…

Review – Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Review – Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

The term Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is a military saying that, when using NATO phonetic, spells out WTF, which means exactly what you think it does, “What the Fuck”.  This was a very appropriate title for movie, as I said those three words to myself quite a few times during this uneven, redundant war comedy. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, based on the autobiographical book “The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in Afghanistan and Pakistan” by Kim Barker, is about…
