"Edge of Tomorrow" is an intriguing and provocative science fiction movie, which stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt as soldiers fighting an alien invasion that has taken over continental Europe. Both are caught in a time loop, and when they are killed in battle each day, return [..]
Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me (2014)
Singer Glen Campbell granted producer-director James Keach unrestricted behind the scenes access to his farewell tour of 2012-2013 in "Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me." This documentary film centers on Campbell's struggles with Alzheimer's disease, including the effects on family and friends and his ability to perform. [..]
Unbroken (2014)
The amazing story of Louis Zamperini is told in Universal Pictures' "Unbroken." Producer-director Angelina Jolie ("A Place in Time" 2007) does an outstanding job of bringing to the big screen the life experiences of a man who ran in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin (coming it 8th), [..]
Noah (2014)
"Noah" is a Biblically-inspired epic motion picture from producer-director Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan" 2010). He uses not only the account in Genesis, but also extra-Biblical sources, such as "The Book of Enoch," in his depiction of Noah, the hero of the Flood. Some of the controversial [..]
Left Behind (2014)
"Left Behind" is back and bigger and better than ever from producer Paul LaLonde, who gave us the original back in 2000. This version has a bigger budget, more FX, and some big name stars, like Nicholas Cage starring as Rayford Steele, the airline pilot whose wife [..]
Son of God (2014)

Heaven is for Real (2014)
A glimpse into the next life is revealed to movie audiences in "Heaven is for Real." This is the story of four-year-old Colton Burpo, who says he went to Heaven during emergency surgery. Director Randall Wallace ("Secretariat" 2010), co-wrote the screenplay with Christopher Parker, wove together [..]
Robocop (2014)
Another "Robocop" remake draws nothing but yawns from critics and the movie-going public alike. This fourth version from Brazilian director Jose Padilha ("Elite Squad" 2007) is slicker and has better FX, but is still the same old story we have seen before in 1987, 1990 and [..]
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit (2014)
"Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" is a poor attempt to reboot an aging film character series, despite the big names involved. Chris Pine is the fourth Jack Ryan on the big screen (it would be his only appearance), and, despite help from director Kenneth Branagh ("Much Ado About [..]
Pompeii (2014)
Special effects in 3D are the star of the show in "Pompeii," a disaster film about the destruction of the Roman city of Pompeii by Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Lousy direction by Paul W. S. Anderson ("Alien vs. Predator" 2004) and a disastrous screenplay by Janet [..]
