Here’s the great thing about Steven Spielberg:  No matter what genre he does, it’s always a Spielberg movie.  Whether he does a war movie, a science fiction movie, a kid friendly movie, or a holocaust movie, each film has the Spielberg touch.  Other directors struggle with this, but Spielberg does not.  His latest film, The BFG, is no different.  After making two historical, methodical films in Lincoln (2012) and Bridge of Spies (2015), Spielberg went a little lighter and a…

I absolutely hated The Purge (2013).  It was a unique idea, but it failed miserably on all fronts.  Never in my mind did I think it would get a sequel, let alone a trilogy, but here we are, because fuck it, why not?  The Purge: Anarchy took the series into a totally different direction, making it more of an action-horror film.  It was a better movie than the first, but that isn’t saying much.  That’s essentially…

Blake Lively stars as Nancy, a surfer who is attacked by a great white shark while ripping a wave.  She saves her self by swimming onto a rock 200 yards away from shore.  Nancy must use…

For a movie called Central Intelligence, the movie is incredibly stupid.  I understand that its intention is suppose to be a fun, mind-less action comedy, but it fails on all fronts.  It isn’t fun, it isn’t funny, and the plot far too complex for its own good and incredibly predictable. Kevin Hart stars as Calvin Joyner, a former high school hotshot who is now an unhappy accountant.  When former classmate, now C.I.A agent, Bob Stone (Dwayne…
