Star Wars: The Force Awakens had a difficult job of trying to make up for the horrid prequels while also capturing the spirit that fans loved in the original trilogy. I believe it did it, even it wasn’t the best movie of 2015. It was one of the most...

This was a completely unnecessary remake. When it began it showed Julianne Moore as Carrie’s mother, Margaret White, giving birth to Carrie and almost killing her immediately. That gave me hope that it might add a little more backstory to the movie from the book that the 1976 version left...

When I heard that Matt Damon would be playing astronaut Mark Watney, I thought he was perfectly cast. I knew he could portray a guy who could figure out how to survive on his own, while also being able to show the emotional effect it would have on a...

When I first heard that Paul Rudd was going to be in a superhero movie, it seemed too good to be true. He’s charming in everything, but I didn’t think the movie studios would ever pick him for a superhero. I ignored that it was some superhero named Ant-Man...

Brian Wilson was the songwriter and leader of the Beach Boys. His talent was not always appreciated by his abusive father and it led to him having a mental breakdown that affected him for years. In the 1980s, he was being overly medicated by a scheming psychotherapist. During this...
