Full disclosure here right off of the bat. I am a HUGE fan of the Dark Tower series of books written by Stephen King. All it took was a seemingly normal high school homework assignment where I was tasked to write a book report on the novel of my choice. I made my way into …
Luc Besson is an acclaimed French director that has enjoyed international success for more than three decades. He’s also one of the few that is tied down to any one genre. In my opinion, Besson’s best works were back in the 90s when directed films such as La Femme Nikita (1990), Léon: The Professional (1994) …
Director Matt Reeves has returned for the third chapter of this arc of the apes. The latest franchise reboot kicked off with Rupert Wyatt in the director’s chair for Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) which did very well in the critics’ eyes as well as in the box office. I’m sure that …
Over the past several years Marvel has continued to rewrite the enormity of their scope. They’ve expanded to global conflicts, interplanetary incursions and even interdimensional mystical melees.

There have been a couple of series reboots since then with the Brendan Fraser-led version being the most recent starting in 1999. Now Universal is ready to move forward again with another reboot but they’ve also decided to go …
It’s 2017 and DC Comics is STILL struggling to find its cinematic universe identity. The “guys across the street” operate like a well-oiled machine while Warner Bros. has been playing a futile game of catch-up. Director Patty Jenkins has been given the keys to the castle and an opportunity to a superhero cinematic splash. Wonder …

Just how much more of this story will audiences pay top dollar to explore? Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) has been the one constant for each of the Pirates of the …
