A new trailer for the film Everest was released the other day, and it looks like it might be that rare “must-see” IMAX movie. I know you’ve probably heard that line before, but this one looks like it could deliver some definite jaw-dropping moments (and maybe even a bit of drama too). Take a look for yourself. Inspired by the incredible events surrounding an attempt to reach the summit of the worl...[Read More]
Full disclosure: I’m a huge Terminator and Arnold Schwarzenegger fan, and since I’m so in love with the franchise and the world that James Cameron created over thirty years ago, I’m very critical of the later movies in the series (Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines [2003] and Terminator Salvation [2009]). In what is essentially a reboot of the Terminator universe, Terminator ...[Read More]
A newly released clip from the upcoming Terminator Genisys provides an extended look at the film’s version of the T-1000. The sequence definitely echoes The Terminator (1984) and Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991), which looks fantastic, my only concern will be trying to keep all of the time paradoxes straight.

Now, let’s take a look at the second trailer for director Roland Emmerich’s action/thriller Whit...[Read More]
Best Picture was a particularly contentious category at the 85th Academy Awards. With no clear frontrunner like The Artist last year or The Hurt Locker in 2008, the category actually seemed up for grabs until the waning moments of the ceremony itself. Typically, Best Picture buzz builds for a certain film throughout awards season and by the time Oscar night rolls around, we’re all pretty sure who ...[Read More]
Back when running moonshine in the hills of Virginia was a logical fair trade to counter-balance the social effects of alcohol prohibition, three brothers used their massive stills and the eldest sibling’s quiet brawn to distribute what in theory was booze, but was also potent enough to run a motor vehicle if need be. The Bondurant brothers – Jack, Howard, and Forrest – distill “White Lightning” i...[Read More]
