If there’s one film genre that does not have a definitive film, it’s racing. Think about it. Boxing has Rocky. Marathons have Chariots of fire. Gymnastics and location based karate have Gymkata. But for racing, the only films that instantly come to mind are either Days of Thunder (Meh), or Driven (BOO!). Ron Howard might be changing that opinion soon …
Oh look, it’s Kervyn once again gushing like a 12-year old girl at a Justin Bieber concert about Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity. Yes, I know I’ve been talking about this film non-stop lately, but it’s not often that a film I’ve been this excited for since I first heard of it, apparently delivers as amazingly as Gravity appears to be doing.

Keanu Reeves though, is taking a different approach. The man is going to go down in cinematic history as an ass-kicker of note thanks to films like the Matrix trilogy …
Whether you loved or hated Man of Steel, one thing is for certain: Composer Hans Zimmer knocked the ball out of the park and into outer space with the soundtrack for that film. Some may disagree, but I like to think that Zimmer has created one of the defining tracks for that movie, that has finally surpassed the John Williams …
I completely forgot about Mad Max: Fury Road lately. The film has been busy toiling away in the wastelands of Namibia and the Namib desert and putting that $100 million budget to good use I presume. By now, principal photography should have been completed long ago, as December 2012 was the last time we heard anything from those film sets. …
