Halfway through the summer movie season!  So far, so good as far as I can tell.  Now, we’re on to July.  Here are five movies coming out in July that you need to see.   5 – LIFE, ANIMATED (Roger Ross Williams, July 1) You guys probably haven’t heard of this movie, but everyone needs to see it.  This documentary tells the story of Owen Suskind, a child with autism who learned how to talk and interact…

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…

So, I’ve made a lot of Top 5’s on Kevflix.  For the most part, they’re relatively easy to make.  I usually have a pretty good idea of the movies that are going to be on the list, with a little debate about the final spot or two.  That was not the case when making the list of the best Woody Harrelson movies.  The guy’s filmography is loaded with so many great performances, I could have…

May kicked off the summer season with a bang, with Captain America: Civil War, X-Men: Apocalypse, and The Nice Guys.  Now, it’s time to look at June.  This month looks to be a great mixture of big budget, explosive blockbusters, numerous sequels, and some great indies in between between the chaos.  So here you go, five awesome movies coming out in June you should be on the look out for.     5 – SWISS ARMY MAN (The Daniels, June…

Alright Netflix fiends, here’s a look at the best movies you guys are getting in June.  This is a fantastic list, and includes an original film I had the pleasure of already seeing.  So here you go, the best movies coming to Netflix in June.   5 – SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR (Robert Rodriguez, 2014) I absolutely loved the first Sin City (2005).  The visuals and neo-noir style blew my mind.  The second one, though…

Good comedy sequels are hard to come by.  Most of the time, the sequels fail because the plot gets beyond ridiculous and they repeat the same jokes, making them less funny and overall, unenjoyable.  However, there are occasions where comedy sequels succeed, and that is what I am going to look at with this list.  This, of course, is in honor of Neighbors 2 coming out this weekend.  So with that, here are my five favorite…

Ryan Gosling is a cinematic treasure.  Since his days as a member of the Mickey Mouse Club, he has since grown into one of cinema’s most diverse actors.  He can do bigger Hollywood productions, smaller independent films, and star in Oscar worthy films.  His diversity goes unnoticed and so does his talent.  This Friday, Gosling teams up with director Damien Chazelle again for First Man, a film that should garner tons of awards attention.  So with…

George Clooney is a Hollywood icon.  With the combination of debonair good looks, incredible charisma, and impeccable talent, Clooney is a man who can do it all, and has proved it with his work as an actor, writer, director, and producer.  Here are my picks for the best George Clooney movies.   This list is based on Clooney’s performance and the quality of the movie.     5 – JACK FOLEY in OUT OF SIGHT (Steven Soderbergh, 1998) At…
