Our first film, since leaving the beach for the mountains, is 'Oblivion' directed by Joseph Kosinski, based on his unpublished graphic novel.

The year is 2077 and life on Earth is non-existent. Sixty years ago some really nasty aliens, known as the Scavengers, destroyed our moon - no moon plus no water and no food equates to: not a good thing at al...

In the sci-fi world depth is as common as bread and butter when it comes to memorable storytelling.  Within the realm of futuristic surrealism lies limitless possibilities of twists and turns for a great writer to spin a yarn.  Unfortunately the way in over its head "Oblivion" takes the above sentiments too literally and turns out one of the busiest, yet dull, convoluted and all out copycat flicks I’ve seen since the days of Roger Corman. 

Jack Harper is a tech who is one of the last few humans on earth.  After an unsuccessful alien invasion over sixty years ago that destroyed the moon and...

Okay, so here's the thing. I absolutely love the character of Jack Reacher. He was created by British author, Lee Childs. Lee has written 18 books and they all feature Reacher.

Reacher is one of my favorite fictional characters. The guy is huge, 6'5-250 lbs, blond hair, big hands, big feet, big body...big everything. The dude is like a house - a huge house.

He's also gruff and not at all slick. He lives off the grid, buys his clothes and underwear wear from thrift stores. Wears them for a few days, then throws them away and repeats the process. Reacher says 'It's easier and cheaper t...

A statement from the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) reads, "Company chose to re...
