I love a good thriller movie – especially when the film is able to maintain the suspense and mystery throughout most of its entire running time. And while you can’t read much into a trailer, the new preview for The Girl on the Train seems to do a solid job at doing just that. It’s a typically dark thriller that begs …
I’m always in two minds about movies based on books. Usually, if I’ve read the book first, I find it very difficult to disassociate from the written word so I enjoy the movie a lot less. If I watch the movie first, strangely I’ll probably enjoy the book more, as I spend a lot less time imagining the characters – …
It’s a slow start to the New Year with only three new releases this week, all of which are… meh. Means less work for me though! But, with Awards Season around the corner, things should start picking up again from next week. In the meantime, here’s what we have to look forward to. Joy JOY is the wild story of a …
I feel I have to open this review with a disclaimer: Unlike some of my more reactionary peers, I don’t find anything inherently criminal about remakes. Some of the most widely considered greatest movies of all time have actually been remakes. But 2015’s Point Break is emphatically not one of them though. The Katherine Bigelow directed 1991 original starred Keanu …
Well, I must say I’m glad that we’re back, but there is a lot to catch up on! For Kervyn, this meant feverishly posting about every cool trailer that came out while we didn’t have a website (Star Trek Beyond, The Legend of Tarzan and Independence Day: Resurgence to name but a few). For me, this meant having to put four …
Another year, another opportunity for Jennifer Lawrence and David O. Russell to make a new addition to their burgeoning Oscar statue trophy case. The actress and filmmaker have teamed up twice before on Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, with both times resulting in awards gold. Now they’re trying to make it 3 for 3 with Joy aka that movie …
You know what? Bugger the haters. I want a new Point Break movie, because lets face it, sports have become far more extreme over the last couple of decades than they were in the original 1991 flick. And what we’ve got here, is essentially The Fast and The Furious: Extreme Sports Edition…TO THE MAX. In Alcon Entertainment’s fast-paced, high-adrenaline action …
One of the next stops in Hollywood’s seemingly endless quest to make everything I loved as a youngster all over again (but only suckier) is the upcoming remake of the 1991 Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves surf-cop-heist-thriller Point Break. We’ve already done our fair share of moaning at just the thought of remaking the Katheryn Bigelow directed classic, and have …
Cash once ruled Colorado commerce. From Denver’s neighborhood diners to mountain-town gift shops, physical …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
