BATMAN V. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE Director: Zack Snyder Starring: Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Amy Adams, Jeremy Irons, Jesse Eisenberg, Holly Hunter, Diane Lane, Scoot McNairy, Laurence Fishburne The trailer for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice has finally been released. It feels like we have been waiting for this for awhile as production wrapped months ago. The movie won’t even hit theaters until March 2016. It does seem odd that a film this huge has a March release when this reads summer blockbuster. Does this mean the studio internally knows it will bomb or do they fear that it couldRead More →

RIDE ALONG Director: Tim Story Starring: Kevin Hart, Ice Cube, Tika Sumpter, John Leguizamo, Bryan Callen, Bruce McGill, Laurence Fishburne We are only thirty days into the new year, so how is it that I have already seen two Kevin Hart movies? If you read my review of Grudge Match, you may remember my feelings toward his brand of comedy. Some may consider Ben Barber (Hart) a bit of a loser. He plays an interactive “shoot ’em up” type of  video game complete with headset and works as a high school security guard. He finds out he has been accepted into the police academy andRead More →

MAN OF STEEL Director: Zach Snyder Starring: Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Christopher Meloni, Richard Schiff One of the most highly anticipated movies of 2013 is Man of Steel, the latest take on DC Comic’s Superman. 2006’s Superman Returns sought out to be a return to the franchise. After a chilly reception of the oddly cast film, the franchise was dead in the water again. Fresh off The Dark Knight Trilogy, screenwriter David S. Goyer and producer Christopher Nolan give us their take on the DC Comic superhero. The planet Krypton is in grave danger. Jor-ElRead More →

MAN OF STEEL Director: Zach Snyder Starring: Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman Amy Adams as Lois Lane Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent Diane Lane as Martha Kent Russell Crowe as Jor-El Michael Shannon as General Zod Laurence Fishburne as Perry White Christopher Meloni as Colonel Hardy By the looks of the trailer, the upcoming Superman movie Man of Steel looks to be an origins story. Fans of the series did not have a warm reaction towards the last movie, 2006’s Superman Returns, for numerous reasons. I myself did not appreciate the casting of Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane. Audience members should be relieved because theRead More →

CONTAGION Director: Steven SoderberghStarring: Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law How often do you wash your hands? After you’ve used the bathroom? Touched money? Coughed? Shook hands with an acquaintance? I think we naturally forget about how many germs, diseases, bacterias, and viruses we come across on a daily basis. You may think you have a strong immune system, but that doesn’t mean everyone does. Contagion is another entry in the gritty genre of pandemic virus movies like Outbreak or The Andromeda Strain. Picking up on Day 2, Beth Emhoff (Paltrow) is traveling home to Minneapolis from a business trip inRead More →
