Watch out! Those two “wild and crazy guys” are bracing for a return. No, I don’t mean those two ‘cats’ on Saturday Night Live either (Steve Martin/Dan Akyroyd). Most, if not all Classic Rockers, are familiar with the Quincy Jones “We Are The World” compilation from 1985, but guess who has just a new spin [...]

As we move ahead to Spring, and a warm-up in temps, it’s always nice to get outside and explore new terrain to stimulate our minds.

Have you seen the new “Red Dawn” movie yet? The original, or should I say classic, was presented to us nearly 30 years ago, back in 1984, and although it didn’t get warm fuzzy’s from the crtitics (basically a one star entry), it was believable through the solid acting of the young cast. Patrick Swayze [...]

Famed Film Director 'Tony Scott' Takes His Own Life [VIDEO]

Rick St. Nick — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 19:50:53 +0000

While he may have been behind the lens instead of starring in front of the camera, Tony Scott was a Hollywood giant when it came to his trade.

His name may not be recognizable, except for those in the tinsel town who's who, but his Director status for such hits as "Beverly Hills Cop II", Man on Fire", "Enemy of the State", "Days of Thunder", "Top Gun" starring Tom Cruise, and "Crimson Tide" with Denzel Washington, made Tony Scott a well respected "A"-lister amongst the troops.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Expendables 2′ VS 'The Bourne Legacy'

Jacob Hall — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 18:15:54 +0000

Although they differ in style and tone in every way imaginable, ‘The Expendables 2‘ and ‘The Bourne Legacy‘ are both action movies and they share the same audience (people who like watching people beat up other people). The slick, modern ‘The Bourne Legacy’ was last week’s box office champion, so everyone was wondering if its success would cut into the opening of the brawny, ’80s throwback that is ‘The Expendables 2.’ Or vice versa. Well, the numbers are in…

Hey there, ‘Total Recall.’ You know how you were supposed to be pretty big movie? Well, hopefully you’re sitting down because, well…you’re not. You see, there’s this little thing called ‘The Dark Knight Rises‘ that isn’t a remake of a much-beloved film and it doesn’t star Colin Farrell and people actually seem to generally kinda’ like it. Yeah, sorry buddy. You didn’t stand a chance.
