I don’t care for “Power Rangers.” I never grew up on the five colored ninja fighters once. But I had to take my friend, who is a massive fan, to the new movie. I’m doing him a favor by taking… Read More ›

T2: Trainspotting
Here’s the recent trend of long-awaited non-animated sequels. “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues” is the best because of its hilarious portrayal of Will Ferrell in the 1980s and its A-list cameo list. Others however have failed. “Dumb and Dumber To”… Read More ›
Beauty and the Beast (2017)
The real question I’ve been asking myself for two years is: How is Disney going to pull off remaking one of their most magical animated classics “Beauty and the Beast” into a live action film? I trust their judgement, especially… Read More ›

John Wick: Chapter 2
Every once in a while, a non-superhero sequel surprises you when you least expect it, and “John Wick: Chapter 2” is an entertaining example. It’s the sequel to the surprise 2014 action hit, which redeemed Keanu Reeves as the professional… Read More ›
xXx: Return of Xander Cage
“xXx: Return of Xander Cage” is the second Vin Diesel three-quel I have seen since “Riddick” from 2013. Both these movies have been made despite “The Chronicle of Riddick” and “xXx: State of the Union” flopping. I guess cult following… Read More ›
The Fate of the Furious
The main question of “The Fate of the Furious” most fans will be asking is: “Did we need another sequel?” Because the last movie, “Furious 7,” had one of the most respectful tributes to the late Paul Walker, who died… Read More ›
