Indie Review: The Kings of Summer

I almost lost my opportunity to see this movie on the big screen. I was invited to a screening by TCFF a few weeks ago but I couldn't make it as I wasn't feeling well. But thankfully, I was able to make it to this press screening and boy, am I glad I did! This …

The final Monday of May is a Memorial Day holiday here, which is a day to remember the fallen men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

The Flix List: Top 5 Action Spectacle Endings

I love big tent pole movies and Hollywood love to make them. Studios spent hundreds of millions of dollars on these movies and we the audience expect nothing but big spectacles when we go see them. I hate it when I go see big action films and the climax action scenes were quite lame (Mission: …
