Movie Review: The Purge: Election Year
The Purge franchise has had an interesting three-year history. I remember when the first trailer came out, almost everyone was excited by the concept. The idea of having any crime, including murder, being legal for 12 hours sounded like the perfect idea for a horror movie, but then everyone actually saw the movie. People complained that they took the interesting concept of the Purge and turned it ...[Read More]
Movie Review: Captain America: Civil War
The 2016 summer movie season officially kicks off this year with Captain America: Civil War. When we last left Steve Rogers in Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014) he had disrupted the entire espionage world, and saved millions of lives by the way, by foiling the plot of Hydra to take over S.H.I.E.L.D. from within. Also, his oldest frenemy, Bucky/Winter Soldier, had saved his life after their fi...[Read More]
Movie Review: The Purge: Anarchy
The Purge: Anarchy is the follow-up to last year’s surprise hit The Purge (2013). The initial film made about twenty times its’ budget, in the US alone, so a sequel was inevitable. I must confess to not having seen The Purge until just this week, in order to prep for this latest installation, of what now appears to be a mini-franchise. The Purge: Anarchy and the original are marketed as horr...[Read More]
Trailer Trashin’: The Sentinel of Liberty is Back in Captain America: The Winter Soldier
First off dear readers, I have to apologize to you for not bringing you my promised Super Bowl movie spot roundup last week. Unfortunately, the first part of last week ended up being crazy busy for me, and it got away from me. But I can tell you that the spot for Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier was by far my favorite. In the meantime, we got a new trailer for the upcoming superh...[Read More]

And just like was the case last year, this week’s installment of Trailer Trashin’ takes a look at a film that’s sure to inspire a lot of costumes next October, Marvel’s Captain America: The ...[Read More]
Movie Review: Disconnect
The film Disconnect might serve well for anyone engaging in anything to do with the internet. You may want to educate yourself with this one as a precursor to participating in any on-line activity. I found it to be one of those experiences that both educates and scares the social networking fun right out of you. I will now think twice before opening attachments or chatting with people I don’t know...[Read More]
Trailer Trashin’: Gangster Squad Looks to Deliver Stylish Period Crime Drama
After last week’s double-dose of superhero goodness, it’s time for something completely different. This week’s Trailer Trashin’ takes a look at director Ruben Fleischer’s cops-and-crooks film Gangster Squad. Premise: A vigilante police force within the LAPD fights to keep the East Coast Mafia, led by Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn), out of Los Angeles in the 1940s and 1950s....[Read More]
Movie Review: The Grey
When I sat down to watch The Grey, I was not certain what I should expect. Based on the trailers, my impression was of a slick-looking but insubstantial thriller in which Liam Neeson was going to fight a wolf with his fists. But what I got far exceeded my expectations. The Grey is a brutal, uncompromising thriller with a great cast, and is well worth seeing. Ottway (Liam Neeson) works in Alaska fo...[Read More]
