Hello, Movie Buffs! 

     Disaster films and action films go hand in hand but most of the time they center around a natural disaster of some kind - 2012 (2010), San Andreas (2015), Dante’s Peak (1997), Posedion (2006), and more. Skyscraper (2018) is an adrenaline rush and a new twist in the disaster, action film genre with a Die-Hard-style that will hopefully bring in big bucks at the box office.

Hello, Movie Buffs! 

     Upon first glance, Man on a Ledge (2012) may appear to be your typical action flick about betrayal and revenge. Director Asger Leth (Severance) and writer Pablo F. Fenjves (Her Evil Twin) do a great job with this film.

Hello, Movie Buffs! 

WARNING! This film is Rated R for violence, language, and some sexuality/nudity

     Den of Thieves (2018) might be your typical film about tough guys trying to outsmart one another but rather it is an intense heist film, unlike anything we have seen before. Similar to 1980’s action films, the primary goal for Den of Thieves is to simply be entertaining and that is what this film does.

Hello, Movie Buffs! 

     I enjoyed the first Ant-Man (2015) but the sequel is better in every way. Years ago audiences could watch a superhero film and know that no matter what happened the heroes always win and villains always lose. But if we have learned anything from watching Avengers: Infinity War (2018) then we know that those old rules no longer apply, thus making Marvel films – or superhero films in general – even less predictable and Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018) takes full advantage of that new perception. Ant-Man and the Wasp is a simple and light-hearted film that is just as important to Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as all the other films in the series.

The miniature hero must use his new skills to prevent Cross, also known as Yellowjacket, from perfecting the same technology and using it as a weapon for evil. (1)

Hello, Movie Buffs! 

     Based on the Marvel Comics character by the same name, Ant-Man (2015) is a highly entertaining addition into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is significantly more humorous than most MCU films with witty dialogue and comedic elements that allow for the film to reach an even wider audience range. Ant-Man turned out better than my expectations despite changing the writer in the middle of the film’s production.
