LIGHTYEAR Director: Angus MacLaneStarring: Chris Evans, Keke Palmer, Uzo Aduba, Taika Waititi, Peter Sohn, Dale Soules, James Brolin, Isiah Whitlock Jr. Pixar introduced audiences to the character of Buzz Lightyear back in 1995 when Toy Story changed the game of animation. Now, they’re going back to tell more of his story but with a twist in Lightyear. If you walk down the toy aisle in any store, many of the action figures are based on movie characters. In Lightyear, we learn that the Buzz Lightyear action figure Andy received is based on the movie we are now watching. It’s essentially a movie within a movieRead More →

KNIVES OUT Director: Rian JohnsonStarring: Christopher Plummer, Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Evans, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, Katherine Langford, LaKeith Stanfield Rian Johnson may have received some uncalled for criticism for a little film called The Last Jedi, but I’d ignore those fanboys. I personally think he took the Star Wars franchise in an exciting new direction. His next film takes us back to the days of Agatha Christie, Clue, and Murder by Death with a good ol’ fashion murder mystery. If you ignore the lackluster Murder on the Orient Express remake, we haven’t had a good murder mystery in quite some time. It’sRead More →

AVENGERS: ENDGAME Director: Anthony and Joe RussoStarring: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Brie Larson, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Paul Rudd, Josh Brolin, Bradley Cooper, Danai Gurira, Don Cheadle, Karen Gillan When we last left our Avengers at the end of Avengers: Infinity War, we saw many of them disappear as dust in the wind. The big bad Thanos (Brolin) got his hands on all six infinity stones, placed them on his gauntlet glove, and snapped his finger. Just like that it changed the course of the Marvel franchise. Avengers: Endgame picks up with the remaining survivors in mourning unable to shakeRead More →

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Directors: Anthony and Joe Russo Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Mark Ruffalo, Josh Brolin, Chris Evans, Tom Holland, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hiddleston, Benedict Cumberbatch, Chadwick Boseman, Letitia Wright, Danai Gurira, Zoe Saldana, Paul Bettany Marvel fans have spent the last ten years and eighteen movies engrossed in a variety of superheroes and villains duking it in order to save Earth and other galactic empires. Some have proven more successful than others, yet Marvel fatigue never seems to set in even after all these years. They’re coming off one of my favorites and their biggest hit to date, Black Panther,Read More →

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Director: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo Starring: Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Elizabeth Olsen, Don Cheadle, Jeremy Renner, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Rudd, Daniel Brühl, Tom Holland This is the thirteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The number 13 is typically an unlucky number for some, yet Marvel is in top form with its third Captain America film. With so many characters it may seem like the next Avengers film, but Captain America/Steve Rogers (Evans) and the relationship he has with best friend Bucky Barnes (Stan) is front and center. Bucky’s known as The Winter SoliderRead More →

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON Director: Joss Whedon Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, James Spader, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Samuel L. Jackson, Paul Bettany Hulk, smash! And boy, does he ever in Avengers: Age of Ultron. The sequel to the biggest superhero movie of all time naturally has to be bigger than the first film. Expectations are sky high for writer/director Joss Whedon to bring back that magic and fun of the first one without suffering from sequel-itis. From the very first frame, we are catching our Avengers in the middle of an attack on a HydraRead More →

SNOWPIERCER (2014) Director: Bong Joon-ho Starring: Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer, John Hurt, Kang-ho Song, Ah-sung Ko, Ed Harris This past summer we saw a crop of terrible movies. Many of them were completely uninspired, unoriginal, lifeless copycats of films we’ve seen before. Thank goodness we had films like Snowpiercer that plowed their way through the schlock and left a lasting impression. Director Bong Joon-ho’s latest film is an adaptation of the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand and Jean-Marc Rochette. A science experience hoping to combat global warming fails miserably leaving Earth frozen over and killing offRead More →
