With a career that spans over 25 years, John Cusack has had the chance to touch a lot of hearts – and he has succeeded in doing so.  Plus, how can you help but love an actor who collaborates with family so often, and who plays such a wide range of characters.  Though a “Top [...]

Ever since the 1940s, British film studios have been consistently making great crime and gangster films with a singular style and feel to them. Whether it’s the black comedies of the 1950s, the realistic, hard-boiled thrillers of the 1970s, or the flashy, fast-paced work of recent directors like Guy Ritchie, the following are ten of [...]

What’s that coming over the hill! Both B-movies and blockbusters have entertained us with members of the animal kingdom intent on crushing, biting or stinging innocent people to death. Sometimes, they’re just doing what comes naturally and sometimes, human interference makes them ‘go bad’. This list is strictly creatures that are in the known world, [...]

While most movies are mass-produced entertainment and escapism, there are some that have had a profound impact on culture.

Okay, I admit, I am a bit of a nerd. I don’t do pocket protectors, tape on glasses or plaid pants, so I am a cool nerd, but a nerd none the less. One of the ways that this nerdiness manifests itself is in my unabashed admiration of the LOTR trilogy.  If you don’t see [...]

Perhaps no single actor best symbolizes the American Western than John Wayne. According to the Internet Movie Database, the man who was born as Marion Morrison in 1907 starred in more than 140 movies during his lifetime, and in 2007, he was voted as the third most popular actor in a Harris Poll survey.  Clearly, [...]
