‘N Sync VMA Reunion: A Success Or Utter Failure?

08.26.2013 | By Jack Rico |

I woke up in Bilbao, Spain on Sunday and checked my Twitter account. To my absolute disbelief, I find out via my feed that ‘N Sync could be reuniting live at the MTV VMA’s 2013. My mind went dark for a sec. Last I heard, Justin Timberlake, The President of Pop, had said no to a reunion and JC Chasez adamantly denied EVER getting back together to The Hollywood Reporter. So what gives? Could these rumors be true? I went to sleep and when I woke up the next day, my eyes could not believe the photographs, later the video – ‘N Sync was real again, even if less than a few minutes. Read More

The World’s End (Movie Review)

08.23.2013 | By Jack Rico |

The “1-4-0″: @TWEMovie is a mix of the first 2 Pegg and Frost films – funny, witty, swift cuts and packs and emotional punch beneath it.

The Gist: After an attack of nostalgia, an ol’ high school friend decides to get the boys back together to finish what they started decades ago – complete 12 straight pubs until they reach the king of all pubs… The World’s End. But shit goes horribly wrong again when something stands in their way.

The Highlights: The fact that Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright made such an entertaining movie about such a ludicrous premise is just pure talent at work. This movie will connect with people. Why? It explores themes of nostalgia, regrets, bygone youth and growing up.

The Lowlights: The premise can be seen as the weakest link, but the guys make it work. There is a plot twist that is just ridiculous which has shades of Hot Fuzz’s storyline.

Pay or Nay?: Pay for it because it is a very funny film with a level of human connection. Ultimately, these are the types of movies Wright, Pegg and Frost do and we are just lucky to be witnesses to them!

But since we all love a little competition, the question is… Who is the greatest pop star of the two? Let’s find out! Read More

The 5 Worst Supervillains In Movies!

08.15.2013 | By Jack Rico |

The concept of “the villain” is the oldest concept in the universe. It begins with God and The Devil (ya can’t get any older than that). In movies, the villain is considered that character who tries to conquer the world and battles against the hero of the film who tries to stop his diabolical plan. If done well, these malevolent characters can become more memorable than the protagonists themselves (think Darth Vader) or may prove to be a huge failure. And it is exactly the latter why this list was created. With the rise of the superhero genre, more supervillains have made it onto the big screen with deplorable results and it becomes the central subject of my new list…

I give you the 5 worst supervillains in film history… Read More
