Out of nowhere comes Lucy a wild ride of mind over matter from Writer/Director Luc Besson. This cunning thriller opens with excitement and never stops the action to the very end. It’s my idea of a true Sci-Fi thriller that tantalizes your brain with possibilities beyond belief, and then takes you even further with […]

“Boyhood” A Study of Growing Pains (Film Review)
Not many or any of the filmmakers that have made films in my lifetime have ever taken a chance on a production that would take 12 years in the making. No, Boyhood is not one of those blockbuster films that takes years of animation, or documentaries that have a lot of structure or even Mother […]

Taking his comedy show to the Arizona desert, Seth MacFarlane presents A Million Ways to Die in the West. It’s a rollicking comedy that has more pratfalls than his previous film, even though Ted has a charm that cannot be duplicated. That said however, MacFarlane pleases with his deadpan humor that never seems to […]
