It's hard to quantify the love I have for Superman II in this blank space. It has been a headline act in my life for as far back as I can remember. It thrilled me as child. Superman was a God to me. The real God (sorry if you are real, God) never stood a chance. With my confused desire of 'the woman Ursa' it was my awakening. Those black thigh-length PVC boots with a slit up the trouser to…

If I didn't know A Good Year was directed by Ridley Scott I'd never have guessed. He's never been the go-to guy for this kind of light romantic fare.

This is the story of Jean Grey (Sansa Stark) and her rise to overwhelming power, ground previously covered in the much maligned X-Men: Last Stand. No doubt this…

I'll jump into bed with any film that has 'Time-hopping science fiction' in its plot synopsis. Predestination plays like an extended Twilight Zone episode (a really good one) in which temporal agents can go back in time to prevent crimes.

I know, I know...Minority Report...but the funny thing is I never thought about it until now, which is probably because my brain went into extreme concentration mode in an attempt to keep up with the twists.
