On Twitter today, one of the trending topics is #fav7films. People in the Twittersphere would post their seven favorite movies of all-time. The lists are very interesting to read, as they were incredibly diverse and unique. When I think of my “favorite” movies, I think of the movies that I would watch if I were to watch seven movies over and over again for the rest of my life. These aren’t the “best movies” or…

Sausage Party is possibly the most vulgar movie I have ever seen. It makes South Park: Bigger Longer, and Uncut (1999) look like Sesame Street. It is a coarse, crude, gross, hour and a half-long sex joke that is uproariously funny, incredibly quotable, and wonderfully animated. Sausage Party is about a hot dog, Frank (voiced by Seth Rogen), who is patiently waiting to be purchased with his hot dog bun girlfriend, Brenda (Kristen Wiig) so that he can finally…

“Worst. Heroes. Ever.” That’s the tag line for Suicide Squad. And while they may not be the absolute worst, they’re pretty bad. “Worst. Movie. Ever.” That’s the thought that ran through my mind a couple times while sitting through the neon-colored vomit that is Suicide Squad. It may not be the absolute worst, but it’s pretty bad. Suicide Squad is a complete and utter disaster. A film so thin in story and so bloated with characters that…

This weekend, the highly anticipated comic book film Suicide Squad comes out. Though I have my reservations about the film, one of the things that makes me the most excited is the cast. It’s a perfect mix of big name Hollywood talent, stars on the rise, and relative unknowns. So before you see the movie, check out my favorite movies from the Suicide Squad cast. I am going to focus on the main cast members and the director and discuss…

And here we are, the homestretch of the summer movie season. The months of blockbusters, sequels, and franchises are coming to a close. But, we still have one month left, and that month is August. August can be either a dead month for movies or can have some really great films come out. Such films as Straight Outta Compton (2015), Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), The Help (2011), and Inglorious Basterds (2009) dropped in August and all made huge splashes critically and financially….

There is a line in Jason Bourne where Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is talking to former C.I.A operative and confidant Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles) about the new government threat, Iron Hand. Bourne wants to know why Parson’s has taken him out of hiding to stop Iron Hand. Parsons: “It matters. Everything matters.” Bourne: “Not to me it doesn’t.” These lines perfectly summarize Jason Bourne. This movie doesn’t matter. The only people this movie matters to is the studio…

Who doesn’t love Matt Damon? He has as much talent as does charisma, making him one of Hollywood’s golden boys. However, compared to other stars like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and even his buddy Ben Affleck, Damon isn’t the superstar he deserves to be. He consistently makes great movies and always gives excellent performances. So, in honor of Suburbicon coming out this weekend, here are my favorite Matt Damon movies. 5 – TEAM…

With horror master James Wan as a producer and a couple of great trailers, Lights Out looked like it could rival The Conjuring 2 as the horror movie of the summer. But apparently when the lights go out in Lights Out, so do the scares, as this turns from potential scarefest to a boring mess. Lights Out follows a family who is being terrorized by a demon who only appears in the dark and they must figure out a…

Before the summer movie season started, I listed Star Trek Beyond number one on my list of Potential Busts this summer. The trailers didn’t look great, J.J Abrams left the director’s chair and replacing him was Justin Lin, who’s only good films were Fast Five (2011) and Fast 6 (2013). I don’t like admitting when I’m wrong, but I will here. Star Trek Beyond is far from a bust. It’s not a perfect movie, but it is an extremely entertaining…
