MOVIE REVIEW: Oblivion

April 19th, 2013 James Shotwell

Film: Oblivion
Starring: Tom Cruise
Director: Joseph Kosinski

When I was younger, Sci-Fi was the genre I ran to when I needed an escape from the world around me. Outer space, the future, armageddon, it all drew me in with wide eyes and an open mind. What is the point of making movies if you cannot be creative, right? Few genres allow for the kind of open-ended creativity that comes with sci-fi, and when a new genre blockbuster rolls out it is expected that it will come complete with an original story, unique characters, and in more recent times, eye-popping …

EDITORIAL: “That’s My Boy: Does the Failure of Two Adam Sandler Flicks in a Row Signal the End of his Box Office Reign?”

June 18th, 2012 Boris Paskhaver

Do movie stars still exist? Summer 2012 seems determined to answer that question with a resounding “No”.

Hollywood has long been obsessed with the idea of a box office star – an actor who can reel in a healthy audience to theaters regardless of the quality of their newest picture. With the “guarantee” of a high turnout, stars like Julia Roberts in the 90s and Will Smith in the last decade were able to negotiate not only high salaries but bonus perks including a percentage of the final gross. In an industry with far too many flops, nothing brings executives …

MOVIE REVIEW: Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

December 16th, 2011 James Shotwell

Film: Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
Starring: Tom Cruise
Directed by: Brad Bird

Some say the third time is a charm, but Director Brad Bird has made a hell of a case for it actually being the fourth attempt that gets it right. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol” or as most will refer to it, “Mission Impossible 4,” takes an already energetic franchise (literally) to new heights, packing enough slick visuals and big bangs to overshadow a weak script and all notions of rationality just in time for the holidays.

Dammit, “Top Gun 2″ Is Happening

December 8th, 2011 James Shotwell

Tom Cruise is amidst a blitz of press for his latest Mission Impossible flick and recently spilt the beans about another sequel that is sure to equally overjoy and piss off the internet.

In a recent interview with MTVNews, Cruise shed a bit of light on the rumors that have been swirling about the possibility of a Top Gun sequel, but mostly just let people know it is in fact a reality in the making. If online stories are correct (and this is a good if), Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz, the screenwriters behind ‘Thor’ and ‘X-Men: First …

“Top Gun 3D” Coming To Theaters

September 12th, 2011 James Shotwell

This headline is as bad as it sounds, but now as bad as it could be. For starters, they ARE NOT remaking Top Gun. However, they are converting the original film into 3D and planning a theatrical release sometime within the next year.

Call it a lack of ideas or execs seeing just how much money they can take from the pockets of brainless entertainment junkies, but this “new crazy” of converting old films into 3D and charging us literally double (in some cases triple) what we paid to see it originally needs to stop. There is absolutely …
