“No Good Deed” is no good
There’s nothing scarier than having an intruder somewhere in your home. At least, that’s what Hollywood continuously wants us to believe.

No matter what the movie is called, it always amounts to the same thing: […]
See this film … Captain’s orders.
Captain America returns in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” an espionage thriller that is easily the most intellectually engaging Marvel film since Bryan Singer’s “X-Men.” The film moves at a break-neck speed, barely allowing viewers time to breathe. When the slow scenes — which are far and few — arrive, viewers can’t help but think […]

Fans have been begging for a sequel to 2004’s “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” for years and the crew, including Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, Paul Rudd as Brian Fantana, David […]
Marvel at “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
It’s the fall season again and that can only mean one thing: new shows, including Marvel’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” By now, many people have probably seen the movie “The Avengers,” which featured many Marvel movie superheroes fighting to save the world from Loki, Thor’s evil younger brother, and a band of evil aliens called the Chitauri.
