After not doing this piece for the last few months, I felt it necessary to bring it back. June is full of a lot of original programming for Netflix, but there are some solid movies that are going to start streaming this month, including one of the best movies of 2000’s. Here are my picks for the best movies coming to Netflix in June. Check out the full list of the movies and shows coming…

In one of the first scenes of Ron Howard’s Solo, we get an encounter between Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) and an Imperial desk clerk. Solo is a small time crook who has found his way off the streets by joining the Imperial Army. Here is how the encounter went down: Imperial Desk Clerk: Name? Han Solo: Han. Clerk: Last name? Han stares silently into the distance. Clerk: Your last name? Who are your people? Han:…

Deadpool is back! But this time, it’s personal. After the funny, entertaining, game-changing first film, the Merc with the Mouth changes gears in this sequel, which offers up more blood, characters, action, and, more impressively, more depth and emotion. After tragedy strikes our foul-mouthed mercenary, Wade Wilson/Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) must find a new meaning of life and does so in a troubled mutant named Russell (Julian Dennison). When Russell is being hunted…

It’s officially the 2018 summer movie season! This time of year used to be all blockbusters, franchises, and explosions. We still get all of our mindless fun, but we also get our fair share of indie darlings, horror films, and Oscar players. This summer features an eclectic group of movies, with some of Hollywood’s best actors and filmmakers hitting the big screen. We also get some indie hits, including what is my favorite movie of…

May is the official kickoff to the summer movie season! Usually, May starts us off with a bang, and is usually a good indicator of what the summer movie season is going to be like over the next four months. May 2018 isn’t so much a bang as it is a spark, in large part due to Avengers: Infinity War coming out in April. We get a couple blockbusters, but it’s a relatively quiet month,…

After eighteen movies over the past ten years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has come to this point, where the heroes that we have grown to love over the last decade face their biggest challenge yet: Thanos, an intergalactic…

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…

Mac, Rabbit, Thorny, Foster, and Farva are back for some more shenanigans in Super Troopers 2, the crowd-funded sequel to the 2001 cult stoner comedy. The original Super Troopers gained notoriety with the midnight movie crowd as a classic, quotable stoner comedy of pure ridiculousness. Now most comedy sequels don’t work. Movies like Caddyshack 2, The Whole Ten Yards, The Hangover Part II (and Part III for that matter) all failed miserably to live up to their predecessors. Great…

According to www.dictionary.com, the definition of the word rampage is, “violent or excited behavior that is reckless, uncontrolled, or destructive.” This definition describes what I wanted out of this film. I wanted complete and utter chaos. I wanted heightened, ridiculous, over-the-top action. That was it. The plot, characters, acting, none of that matter. I just wanted mayhem. Unfortunately, I only got that for the last third of the movie, which was everything I…

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…
