Ben Affleck has been on a tear the past couple of years. He’s taken a break from directing and gone back into the field of acting- a field that some say he should’ve left years ago. He’s jumping on that late Average-man-who’s-really-a-bad-ass-train, and has decided to continue with the action world that he’s dipped his toe in past roles. Can he do it without being behind the camera or with a cowl? Let’s find out. The premise is interesting off the bat. An accountant who “cooks the books” for dangerous criminal organizations, with high functioning autism, that has a secret life as a…

Hugh Jackman took to his twitter account today to give us another taste of what’s to come for everyone’s favorite member of The X-Men.

This comedy/drama follows David Packouz (Teller) and Efraim Diveroli (Hill) as young arms dealers in the Bush/Cheney era that start to make a…

So it’s been about 11 years since we’ve had Jason Bourne grace our movie screens with enough espionage and action to give any fan of the spy genre a big o’stiffy. The studios tried out Jeremy Renner to continue the franchise and we all know how that turned out. Well, Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon decided to come back to the action fold that made them both household names in hopes to bring the legacy of Jason Bourne back to the glory days it once was. Was it worth it? Let’s talk about that. The story starts off with Bourne…

The man behind shows like Ray Donovan and Southland, Cheo Hodari Coker, was not afraid to speak his mind to Entertainment Weekly about the importance of Luke Cage in today’s world. Netflix’s Luke Cage has a strong sense of relevance with our current state of racial tension between the African American community and police in the US in connection with the shootings in St. Paul, Minnesota, Baton Rouge Louisiana, and the sniper ambush in Dallas, Texas. Coker told Entertainment Weekly: There’s never been a time in history where having a bulletproof black man, in terms of just looking at how…

But before we get the review started, let’s go over a few things. This is a remake – not a reboot. It’s taking some of DNA of the original and adding a bigger budget and much more special effects. Why was this movie made? Because it’s fucking Hollywood. Hollywood is in the business of taking whatever familiar property and trying to make a buck. In the…
