Haunted houses are one of Halloween’s biggest attractions. Creepy creatures hide around each corner waiting to jump–scare the unsuspecting visitor half out of their shoes. When all is said and done, everyone laughs at the diversion and goes home happy. A few of us even hide under the blankets just in case there really is […]

Movie Review: ‘Everest’ – All About That Base (Camp)
Many people dream of climbing mountains, but few people ever experience the rush. It’s about more than finding a trail and following it to the top. Professional climbers, and those that guide them, must school themselves in a number of safety precautions for years before making the attempt. Add to this the excellent physical shape […]
The Scorch Trials: Can Sequels Live up to the Originals?
Last year, in keeping with the YA books-turned-movies theme that has become so popular in the past decade, we saw James Dashner’s The Maze Runner brought to life on the big screen. I reviewed the film back in September, and found it enjoyable and entertaining, with a solid cast to make up for the sometimes-confusing story. This […]

Movie Review: The Not-So-‘Fantastic Four’
The Fantastic Four is my favorite superhero team in the Marvel Universe. When I started reading comics, I loved X-Men and the Avengers, but was captivated by the idea of family that journeyed into the unknown together. They had differences and good times like any family, and they also beat up bad guys. No matter […]
Marvel’s Tiniest Superhero Makes a Big Impression in ‘Ant-Man’
Warning: this review contains spoilers. Ant-Man, right? What kind of superhero is that? Though Marvel’s latest superhero might sound a little ridiculous, and even he’ll admit that the name is, the little guy packs quite a punch. Paul Rudd stars as Scott Lang, recruited by the original Ant-Man, Hank Pym, played by Michael Douglas, to […]
Movie Review: ‘Terminator Genisys’ – He’s Back!
James Cameron’s The Terminator stormed the box office in 1984 with a story of time-travel, choice versus fate, and human heroes fighting against an implacable and unstoppable villain. Arnold Schwarzenegger, already popular from the Conan films, solidified his status as a bankable box office star. Linda Hamilton, and Michael Biehn, along with their characters of […]
Movie Review: A Defining and Bold ‘Testament of Youth’
One of the beauties of cinema is how it can so beautifully encapsulate and highlight what has affected us most. In paying respects to war, Hollywood films have helped throughout the years to acknowledge the sacrifice so many before us have made for our freedoms. The twentieth century’s pervading legacy has been about war, with […]
Movie Review: ‘Jurassic World’ Proves That ’90s Nostalgia Isn’t Extinct
You must have been hiding under a rock in the Cretaceous Period to have missed the damage Universal’s “Jurassic World” did to the box office records during its opening weekend in the United States. In terms of being a financial success, even with the traditional second week drop-off, it’s fair to say that the film will […]
Movie Review: “Entourage” – The Boys are Back in Town!
Everyone dreams of becoming famous. In 2004, HBO introduced us to Vincent Chase, the lead of the hit series Entourage, which was based in part on the life and career of Mark Wahlberg. Chase is an A–List movie star who brings his older brother, Johnny “Drama” Chase and friends Sal “Turtle” Assante, and Eric “E” […]
After The Fact: Why Marvel Needs The Post-Credits Scene
Warning: this article contains spoilers for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As mentioned in my Avengers: Age of Ultron review, one of the most disappointing things about the movie was the lack of a post-credits scene. Those scenes have become somewhat of a signature for Marvel with fans eagerly sitting through the credits waiting for one last tidbit […]
Movie Review: What the Future Holds for Disney’s “Tomorrowland”
I have always been fascinated with Disney’s theme park attraction called Tomorrowland. I’ve never actually been to a Disney theme park, but I got my first glimpse of the beautiful, futuristic world in old filmstrip reels in elementary school. I don’t even remember why we were being shown these ancient filmstrips (it was, after all, […]
On Action and Acting with Tomorrowland’s Fraser Corbett
Disney’s Tomorrowland hit theaters last Friday and for many it is just a movie and a great way to spend a couple of hours escaping reality, but for actor and stuntman Fraser Corbett it is just another moment in the fulfillment of a dream. Growing up on a farm in British Columbia, Corbett always knew […]
