If real-life treasure hunting were only as easy as grabbing an ancient “X marks the spot” map from a museum! Well, it can be when you have a movie based on a video game that does just that to get the party started. In Uncharted, we follow the adventures of a ragtag group of good …
I don’t know about you, but I enjoy a good disaster movie. I love to see landmarks explode, tidal waves roar through cities, and the earth swallow cars. Deepwater Horizon is indeed a disaster movie. It has all the criteria of a classic popcorn flick, where an everyday guy become heroic as the world goes …
I remember when the Boston Marathon bombing occurred because my office had a co-worker that was running the race that year. As the headlines splashed across social media, we immediately thought of our friend and his family that were all there to support him. It took a nerve-wracking hour or so to find out that …
I totally enjoyed watching The Fighter, but walked away from it chewing on all the characters, except, well, the fighter himself.

I have to admit, my expectations for Four Brothers was very low. I wasn’t particularly excited about seeing it since John Singleton’s films have been getting progressively worse (2 Fast 2 Furious, anyone?) since his debut Boyz n the Hood (when he was a pup of 23 years old). And Mark Wahlberg? Not exactly the …
