10 Things You Might Not Know About Jason Statham
Jason Statham is back on the big screen with the action flick, Operation Fortune: Ruse De Guerre. The film is among 48 big screen credits to Statham’s name since he made his big movie debut in Guy Richie's beloved cult classic, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels in 1998. In that time we’ve learned a lot about the bald headed action star but there are still many things you might not know about Jason Statham. In fact, I can think of 10 things you might not know about Jason Statham…

Movie Review: 'Pursuit' John Cusack Taking Cues from Bruce Willis in No Effort Action Flick
While Bruce Willis gets most of the attention for his late career paycheck cheapies, John Cusack has been toiling away on the same easy paycheck circuit. Cusack’s recent resume may not be as stunningly inept and lazy as Willis’s output, but it is nearly as disreputable. As evidence I present to you the scuzzy new action thriller, Pursuit. The film stars the ever less reputable Emile Hirsch and someone named Jake Manley with Cusack seemingly allowing a film crew to capture scenes of him puttering around his house to include in the movie.

10 Things You Might Not Know About Robert Pattinson . Top Story - February 2022.
Robert Pattinson was destined for stardom. Having officially debuted as an integral part of one of the biggest franchises on the planet, the Harry Potter franchise, Pattinson was thrust immediately into the limelight. Then came Twilight and the role of vampire icon, Edward Cullen, the center of another billion dollar franchise. But stardom is not something that Robert Pattinson seemed comfortable with. Despite having the looks and talent of a modern James Dean, Pattinson rejected fame in the wake of Twilight and sought to challenge himself by working with some of the most acclaimed indie directors on the planet.

Movie Review: 'Strawberry Mansion'
Strawberry Mansion is an almost impenetrable film. The comic drama from the directing duo of Kentucker Audley and Albert Birney follows Audley as James Preble, a man whose job is to audit people’s dreams. In this bizarre reality people pay taxes for things they use in their dreams. Meanwhile, a corrupt corporation is sneaking advertisements into those same dreams without anyone being aware of it, save for Bella played by Penny Fuller.

Documentary Review: 'Dunk or Die'
Documentaries are a window into a world you may not have known existed. The best documentaries are ones that take you to new places in the world, in existence, in consciousness. Documentaries expand reality, they teach, they inform and they entertain. The new French, black & white, basketball documentary Dunk or Die may seem like a documentary about a basketball player in France, emulating the heroes of the NBA, but that’s just the surface.

Movie Review: 'Marry Me' is Romantic Comedy Done Right . Top Story - February 2022.
I went into the new romantic comedy Marry Me, starring Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson, with the expectation of hating the movie. It was a feeling that was not unfair given the track record that Jennifer Lopez has in terrible romantic comedies. Lopez has been party to the decline of the rom-com genre over the last two decades by churning out one horrific example of the genre after another. Movies like 2001’s dreary The Wedding Planner, the abysmal, unwatchable failure that was Gigli, the gag inducing comedy The Back Up Plan, and 2018's regrettable Second Act, in my mind, perfectly justify my expectation to hate Marry Me.

Movie Review: 'Jackass Forever'
I understand that the appeal of Jackass is lost on a lot of people. Most people I know, close friends especially, are apoplectic over my appreciation for the silliness of Jackass. Indeed, that is why I am writing a review of Jackass Forever, a movie that really doesn’t need a critical analysis. Either you like Jackass stunts or you don’t and no critic is going to change your mind either way. So, instead, I am going to explore what I enjoy about Jackass and specifically, Jackass Forever and try to help explain the appeal.

Movie Review: 'The Other Me' Sensitively Explores Sexual Identity
The Other Me operates on dream logic. The film starring Jim Sturgess and Andreja Pejic as two halves of the same person may seem obtuse or bizarre but that is intentional. The Other Me is telling a story about discovering trans identity using a divided psyche and the fractured emotional plane of dreams to lay the groundwork for a story about a bartender going blind from an unnamed disorder who finds his sight again when he discovers his mirror self as a trans woman.

Movie Review: 'Catch the Fair One' is Authentic and Gritty
Catch the Fair One is a bold and uncompromising thriller about the desperate plague of human trafficking. The film stars real life boxing champion Kali Reis as Kaylee, the older sister of Jaya (Kimberly Guerrero). Jaya has been taken and to get her back Kali will offer herself to a human trafficking ring while making plans to get her and her sister out. Written and directed by Josef Kubota Wladyka, Catch the Fair One is not an easy sit but it is one that will haunt you if you give it a chance.

Movie Review: 'Moonfall' is Bad But You Already Knew That. Top Story - February 2022.
Moonfall stars the charisma vacuum that is Patrick Wilson, continuing in his astonishing magic trick, fooling the world into seeing him as a movie star. Wilson plays a NASA astronaut, Brian, who, while debating the lyrics of the song Africa by Toto, because random counts as a personality in a movie like Moonfall, sees a massive alien destroy the satellite he’s working on, killing a fellow astronaut.
