Danger Will Robinson! Santa Monica to Welcome New Sci-Fi World Museum

Located inside the historic (and former) Sears building at 302 Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, California, Sci-Fi World will feature over 12 million dollars’ worth of props, sets, costumes and replicas from many movies and TV shows. It has been a labor of love which has taken about dozen years for it to finally become a reality and it has the distinction of becoming the world’s first non-profit science fiction museum “created by fans, for fans.” Read More >>>

The Studio Tour at Universal Studios Hollywood Turns 60

Although Universal Studios Hollywood has grown into a full-blown theme park, the Studio Tour has kept its roots giving guests a peek into movie-making magic. Although some of the duties of the tour guide has been given over to a video presentation hosted by Jimmy Fallon, the studio still relies heavily on the actual human guides which can make the difference between a good or bad experience. This year marks Universal’s 60th year of tram tours. Over 200 million people have experienced this attraction which has changed with the times over the years. Read More >>>

Universal Studios Hollywood Spills Details on the New 60th Anniversary Studio Tour.

Way back, when there was only one Universal Studios Theme Park and it was very different back then. Unlike today, there were no rides to speak of, but I didn’t care. Sure, there were dull moments for a little guy like me, but I only have fond memories. I was introduced to the world of moviemaking. Today, I think too many families are in a rush to experience the world of Harry Potter or Super Nintendo World, but this is where it all began. I would love to go back for the 60^th celebration because its sound like it’s going to great. Read More >>>

Find Out Why the Movie ‘Unsung Hero’ is a Real Family Affair

Joel Smallbone, the For King & County music star, who shares the stage with brother Luke, stars in the new faith-based movie Unsung Hero. Many of his family members were involved in the film. The movie is a tale about the Smallbone family and the father that led them from an uncertain future to, well, where the family is today. Joel plays the role of David Smallbone, his father. Meanwhile, young actor Diesel La Torraca plays a younger version of Joel. It must be a surreal experience to play the role of one’s father while another actor is playing the role of you.

Civil War

Civil War is more disturbing than the worst horror movie that I’ve ever seen, and it shares a lot of similar traits as one. It features numerous jump scares and shocking imagery. If you see it at an IMAX-equipped theater, your heart with skip a beat when the surprise booms of gunfire go off and continue through the rest of the film with a feeling of dread. Read More >>>

Ordinary Angels

Hilary Swank plays an alcoholic hairdresser who has a hard time admitting to herself that she has a problem. With encouragement from her friend, she attempts to do better with her life. She learns about Ed Schmitt who is not only a widower struggling to make ends meet. He works overtime to care for his daughter waiting for a liver transplant. Read More >>>

Argylle

This globe-trotting comedy often pokes at the older James Bond films. The movie is crazy fun and will keep you guessing until the end. It features an excellent cast, a lot of action and a fun soundtrack. Better yet, it’s completely original. It’s not a sequel and it’s not based on a known property proving that Hollywood can still come up with new stuff worth seeing. Read More >>>

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

Unfortunately, sometimes studios forget what kind of film that they are making. Filmmakers lose their way when they focus too much on exposition which is what ultimately kills Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. It’s not funny enough to be considered a comedy and not scary enough to be considered a horror film. But there is a lot of talking. Read More >>>

The Fall Guy

It may not be all that realistic, but The Fall Guy does give audiences insight into moviemaking. Director David Leitch is a former stuntman and stunt coordinator himself, so he knows little bit about the trade. Meanwhile, Drew Pearce has written scripts for other action films like Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. The two make a good pair. Read More >>>

Gloria Gaynor: I Will Survive

In 1980, Gloria Gaynor won the first, and only, Grammy Award for Best Disco Recording. In 2020, 40 years and a dozen albums later, she returned to the Grammy’s stage to accept an award for Best Roots Gospel Album. Those are the two bookends that hold the story in the documentary, Gloria Gaynor: I Will Survive. Read More >>>
