Usually, when I go to a press conference- two things happen. For one, I have seen the movie and taken notes so I know what questions, if any, I have for the cast or directors. Two- the cast and directors actually give answers about the movie. Neither were the case for the press conference this past weekend for Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War and it made for a hilarious, fun, albeit unusual, press … [Read more...]

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” Producers Amy Pascal and Kevin Feige on Studio Partnership, Tom Holland and More
Visiting the set of a film in production is always fun. Visiting a Marvel set, however, where every which way you look there's Stark (as in, Tony Stark, you know- Iron Man. NBD) gadgets, and sets like a Staten Island Ferry (more on that soon), is like stepping into a whole other universe. At least that's how I felt the second I set foot on the Atlanta based Pinewood Studios, where Marvel has … [Read more...]
Captain America: Civil War Review
YASSSSSSSS! That is the exact feeling I had walking out of seeing Captain America: Civil War. After the mess that was Ultron, Civil War felt like the Avengers film that we were promised, but never got. Civil War is action packed, with witty dialogue, and a somewhat darkened plotline that deals with the darkside of the superheroes actions. There is always a lot going on on screen, but it doesn't … [Read more...]

REVIEW: THE JUDGE Is Guilty On Multiple Counts
Fathers and sons. It’s a complex relationship dynamic and resonant struggle dating back to Old Testament times, when it was prophesized that the sins of the father will be visited on their sons. Never has this battle been made so clichéd and cloying than in director David Dobkin’s THE JUDGE. When “Mock Trial With Judge Reinhold” holds more validity (and intelligence) than the one featured in this … [Read more...]
