After a not-so-terrible January, we now come to February, which, recently, has proven to be a decent month for film.  Over the last few years we’ve gotten films like Deadpool (2016), Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015), The LEGO Movie (2014), and Shutter Island (2010) coming out during this month.  This trend of solid films looks to continue this month, as we are slated for a diverse collection of films.  Here are my picks for the most exciting movies coming…

The 2017 Sundance Film Festival is officially over!  It was a long, cold two weeks, but a good one.  I saw 28 films over the two weeks (33 if you include each short film I saw in the Animated Shorts Program) which ties 2012 as the most I have ever seen at the festival.  I probably could have seen more, but I decided to do other activities towards the end of the festival that hurt…

2016 was my most cinematic year ever.  I saw 165 movies in theaters over the year, which is far and away the most I’ve ever seen in a single year.  I saw every kind of movie there is and overall, I think 2016 was a great year for film, definitely one of the best of the decade.  Trying to make a year end top ten was tough, tough task.  I hated leaving off titles of…

Now we are getting down to the best of the best of 2016.  For the next couple segments, I will be looking at the beat actors and actresses of 2016.  I’m going to break down each category similar to the Oscars.  So I am first going to start off with the Best Supporting Actress category.  Here are my picks for the best supporting actress performances of 2016.     5 – PAULINA GARCIA as LEONOR CALVELLIIN…

In 2016, I saw over 160 movies, and for the most part, I would say it was a great year for movies, with some really spectacular films.  Howver, with the good comes the bad and boy, did we get some terrible, awful, horrible movies this year.  We got awful movies from all genres and all directors, some I’d even consider great directors.  So, without further ado, here are my ten worst movies of 2016.  …

Jamie Foxx is one of the most talented people we have in Hollywood.  He can sing, dance, and play piano.  You can ask him to act in a drama, action movie, comedy, whatever, and he will crush it every time.  This Friday, Foxx stars in the corrupt cop flick, Sleepless.  So in honor of that, here are my five favorite Jamie Foxx movies.   This list is based on Foxx’s performance and the movie’s quality.  …

Usually with this piece, it’s tough to narrow down the list to just five.  However, we are in what I like to consider a cinematic shit-hole, or simply, January.  When seeing what movies were coming out this month, I cringed.  There is legitimately one movie coming out that I’d actually like to see.  Thankfully, I’ll be at the Sundance Film Festival for two weeks, so I don’t have to suffer through everything.  But, for you…

Unlike the movies coming out this month, Netflix is dropping some pretty solid titles this month.  Not as much as they usually do, but the five movies I am about to name are pretty great.  Here are my picks for the best movies coming to Netflix in January.   You can see the full list of movies and T.V. shows being released this month right here     5 – BEE MOVIE (Steve Hickner and Simon…

For me, Martin Scorsese is the greatest director to ever live.  Since bursting on to the scene with 1973’s Mean Streets, Scorsese has shown time and time again his greatness.  He has taken us on a number of different journey’s, from the dirty night life of New York cabbie, to going deep into the mafia, to insane asylums.  He’s given us gangster films, biopics, thrillers, musicals, religious epics, documentaries, and even a family film.  So in…

Martin Scorsese’s career is filled with great movies, great scenes, and great characters.  When dissecting his filmography, you can’t help but be astounded by singular moments.  Here are my picks for the best scenes from Martin Scorsese movies.   This was an incredibly tough list, and you can watch each scene down below.  Also, mild spoilers if you haven’t seen these movies (which if you haven’t, do immediately).     5 – “YOU TALKIN’ TO…
