Video game movies have largely been pretty massive failures in terms of both critical reception and box office success. Films like Doom and Alone in the Dark were both panned by critics and audiences alike, and both failed to make their budgets back at the box office.

If you told me a few years ago that the first movie to be dedicated to the late Ray Liotta, the star of classic films such as Goodfellas and Field of Dreams, would be about the killing spree that a bear embarks on after ingesting cocaine, I probably wouldn’t have believed you.

The way a movie is shot can go a long way in creating a memorable viewing experience. Last semester I reviewed the war epic 1917, which was shot in such a way as to make the entire two hour film seem like one unbroken shot.

Everyone loves a good comeback story. The journey one takes from setback to comeback can often provide inspiration and hope for those also going through difficult times.

That’s right folks, I am one of the many people that know Die Hard is a Christmas movie, and no, it’s not just because it takes place during the holidays.

I figured it’s about time I reviewed a current movie for this column, as all the previous movies I’ve reviewed to this point have been movies that have been out for at least a few years.

Up until this point, I have covered at least one film from each of the main genres of movies, those being horror, comedy, drama, and animation, within this column.

1999 will go down in history as one of cinema’s most historic years in terms of releases. The penultimate year of the millennium saw the likes of The Matrix, The Sixth Sense, Fight Club, American Beauty, and many other classics hit the silver screen and become box office successes.
