Top 5 – Movies Coming Out in August

The final month of summer is here!  Crazy to think that summer is already over.  It seems like a week ago we were watching Infinity War.  But, we’re here and August looks to go out with a bang.  This is an incredibly diverse month, with everything from giant sharks to Winnie the Pooh, and we get our first legitimate Oscar contender dropping this month from a director who I’m dying to see be great again.  Here…

Ranking the ‘Mission: Impossible’ Movies

Ranking the ‘Mission: Impossible’ Movies

The Mission: Impossible franchise is one of the greatest franchises in cinematic history.  Is that a bit of a hyperbolic statement?  Not if you’ve seen these movies.  Since it’s start over 20 years ago, the franchise has only gotten better, with only a slight hiccup early on.  This is a franchise that only ups itself every movie.  It also solidifies the fact that Tom Cruise is the greatest movie star of our time.  This week, the latest entry…

Top 5 – Denzel Washington Movies

Top 5 – Denzel Washington Movies

I could argue that Denzel Washington is the greatest actor of my lifetime and it would be a strong argument.  Since as long as I can remember, Washington has been one of my favorite actors, consistently turning out great performance after great performance in movies from all genres, from Oscar nominated dramas to entertaining action flicks.  Though he’s given plenty of great performances in a ton of great movies, the five on this list are…

Josh Brolin’s career is a fascinating one.  From co-starring in The Goonies, to being a supporting character in many not-so-great flicks, to perennial Oscar contender, Brolin has become one of the most consistent, diverse, and interesting actors working today.  Brolin has owned 2018, starring in Avengers Infinity War, Deadpool 2, and Sicario: Day of Soldado, which comes out this weekend.  So in honor of his incredible year and his latest film, let’s take a look at the best Josh…

Top 5 – Basketball Movies

Top 5 – Basketball Movies

Basketball is a sport near and dear to my heart.  I grew up playing it and watching it and continue to do so as an adult.  I also think that after boxing, the sport of basketball has produced the best movies, which is what this list is dedicated to.  Making this list wasn’t as easy as I thought, as there are a few really good movies that just missed the cut, but this is the…

Top 5 – Stranded Character Movies

Top 5 – Stranded Character Movies

Stranded character movies is one of my favorite sub-genres.  They are unique film experiences that require a lot of moving pieces, all of which have to be perfect for the movie to function.  You need a great script, one that is compelling enough for the audience to stay with one character for most of the film.  You need a great director to bring the tension, emotion, and action and flesh out our main character.  And,…

Top 5 – MCU Villains

Top 5 – MCU Villains

This week, the Marvel’s 19th film, Avengers: Infinity War, comes out.  The film brings all of our favorite heroes together to fight Thanos from taking over the universe.  I’m ecstatic to finally see Thanos in action as the biggest, baddest villain the MCU has ever seen.  Before Thanos, however, the MCU has had a number of villains who have attempted to thwart our heroes.  They all haven’t been great, but these five have.  My picks for…

Top 5 – Dwayne Johnson Movies

Top 5 – Dwayne Johnson Movies

Back in mid 90’s up until the early 2000’s, I used to watch wrestling.  WWF, WCW, didn’t matter, I watched it.  I remember watching a young wrestler with a bull tattoo on his arm and loving him.  This man was The Rock, a.k.a Dwayne Johnson.  It is crazy to think that I have seen Johnson go from wrestler to arguably the biggest actor in the world.  Johnson has become the greatest action star of the…

Best Performances from the 2018 Oscar Best Supporting Actor Nominees

Best Supporting Actor is always my favorite category at the Oscars.  It is the category that is always loaded with great performances and is the category that allows under-appreciated veterans and up-and-coming character actors to get their due.  This year is a list of named veterans who have made their ways around the block or two.  They have all given a number of great performances throughout their careers, but what are there best?  Here are…
