The new trailer of the reboot of 20th Century Fox’s Fantastic Four just dropped starring Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell and Toby Kebbell. It will be directed by Josh Trank and it’s evident by the trailer that they’re going full blown origin story on it. Fox is doing this new version independent of Marvel Studios. What does that mean?

Blackhat (Movie Review)

01.16.2015 | By Jack Rico |

The “1-4-0″: Michael Mann’s cybercrime film #Blackhat is a mix of global, suspenseful grit and a technical and narrative mess. Not what we’re used to from Mann. Read More

Complete Oscar 2015 Nominations List

01.15.2015 | By Jack Rico |

It was a big morning for the 87th edition of the Oscars. BIRDMAN amassed the most amount of nominations with 9, as well as the artistic comedy THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL. I’ve been predicting big for THE IMITATION GAME and it came in huge with 8 nominations, but the big surprise came with AMERICAN SNIPER with 6 nods as well as BOYHOOD with 6. But no bigger pleasure is the small indie that could – WHIPLASH received a whopping 5 nominations. Read More

01.12.2015 | By Jack Rico |

Take a look at the 43 movies that are must-sees this year. Read More

Taken 3 (Movie Review)

01.10.2015 | By Jack Rico |

The “1-4-0″: #Taken3 is already up for worst movie of 2015. Between stilted dialogue, a laughable villain & embarrassing performances, this is more comedy than thriller. Read More

Paddington (Movie Review)

01.6.2015 | By Jack Rico |

The “1-4-0″: #Paddington means well. It’s an animated film full of inventiveness and charm, regrettably, it’s very predictable and not narratively compelling enough. Read More

Best Documentary: A tie for ‘Jodorowsky’s Dune’ and ‘Life Itself’. So many great documentaries this year. These two though are the standouts. Jodorowsky’s Dune made me dream again and Life Itself made me cry for what felt like a personal loss. With Dune, oh what could have been. If Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky had his way he would have created the greatest sci-fi film ever made. With the likes of Orson Welles, Mick Jagger, David Carradine and Salvador Dali, featuring music by Pink Floyd and art by HR Giger and Jean ‘Moebius’ Giraud, Jodorowsky was poised to change cinema forever.

For the second straight year, I thought of makingÂ “The Best Movies Of 2014… By Genre“.

In other words, if you’re feeling like laughing or snuggling up with someone, you can check our top movie in comedy or romance, etc. I believe these guides are much more to the point of the movie viewing experience. So let’s get to it!
