DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES – Matt Reeves

When it comes to summer blockbusters, you can always count on many sequels. Some do well, others become great disappointments, but all have high expectations and make lots of money. However, it doesn’t happen very often, very rare in fact, that a sequel goes above and beyond any other film that’s released that summer. A film that gives you every possible level of expertise a movie goer is looking for in a sequel.

X-MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST – Bryan Singer

When it comes to “time travel” films or shows, one thinks of Back to the Future, Bill & Ted, or even Dr. Who, but time travel in a Superhero movie? Would it work? Well, that’s the beauty of Superhero movies…anything is possible. This film is a “double-sequel”. It is a sequel to the 2011 box office hit, X-men: First Class and also to 2006, X-men: The Last Stand. This film brings the cast of characters from both together in one film.

FRIDAY THE 13th PART 4 – Joseph Zito

I don’t do reviews that often on horror movie sequels, but once in awhile a film is quite personal with me and I enjoy talking about. Today, April 13th, 2014, is the 30th Anniversary of Friday the 13th part IV: the final chapter, one my favorites in the franchise and one of my favorite movie memories.

THE LEGO MOVIE – Chris Miller, Phil Lord

There have many 100′s and 100′s of children films over the years, everything from animated, The Muppets, Disney Fairy Tale Classics, Pixar, Dreamworks, and many others. However, as years have gone by, it seems the computer animated films have taken over the industry and dominated the box office. Studios like Disney’s Pixar has ruled the box office and packed movie theater’s since the 90′s.

ROBOCOP – José Padilha

Well, it’s time for a new year and a whole new batch of film reviews and articles for 2014. This is my first 2014 film release review and it’s a remake! Seems like lately if it’s not a sequel film release, it’s a remake and this time it’s from the “totally awesome” decade … the 80′s! Back in the 1980′s, it seems the Action genre was a “no holds barred” type of film making. It was just pure violence, but it was also loud, bloody, gory, muscles, sweat, big guns, and even bigger named stars like Stallone, Schwarzengger, and Willis. They were fun, exciting, action-packed. As Hollywood digs through it’s pile of franchise’s to reboot, it appears they’ve found their next franchise to give the modern day makeover. I’m talking about that 1987 Scifi/Action classic, Robocop.
