I think what truly horrifies me about the idea of the first The Purge film, is just how real it could actually be. One night to rape, murder and assault your way through society in order to trim the fat off of the population and suffer zero consequences, is an idea that is just one mad dictator away. And an …

The diminutive funny man Kevin Hart (Think Like a Man, Grudge Match) may not be a big deal when it comes to physical stature, but he apparently is when it comes to the Hollywood box-office. You may have notices that Hart seems to be popping up in every second movie nowadays, so much so that he has clearly exhausted his …

[column size=one_half position=first ]Don McClean’s song Miss American Pie is said to be about the death of Buddy Holly. This movie is also about Buddy Holly, sort of, except he has a samurai sword and fights Slash. Last Updated: June 23, 2014

Robert Downey Jr. is more than just a guy in a robot suit who fires off lasers from his hands as quickly as he does snarky remarks, but except for one kind of forgettable road trip with Zach Galafianakis he hasn’t really got the chance to show off all those other sides in a long time.

There is a scene in this new, final trailer for next month’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes where we see an angry, genetically modified ape storm a militia emplacement by dual-wielding assault rifles while riding a horse. That image alone would have sold me on this movie, but like the world’s most post-apocalyptic infomercial, WAIT! THERE’S MORE! We get a …

So apparently Gotham, FOX’s new pre-Batman Batman show (because that’s really what it is), is pretty good. And for a TV series that first appeared to me and many others to be nothing more than a badly thought out milking of the bat-cow, that’s a very pleasant surprise. One of the reasons I wasn’t very taken with the concept, was how …

As you may know, The Movies is actually a spinoff sister site of Lazygamer.net. It was through gaming (specifically, many partially drunk nights of Gears of War) that I first became good friends with Gavin, Geoff and most of the rest of the LG crew, and while my love of movies led me here, I’m still a gamer at heart.
