Big Essentially the only true Masterpiece in the rather checkered career of director Penny Marshall, the film is boosted tremendously by a great heartfelt script and a dynamic performance by Tom Hanks as boy turned grown man Josh Baskin. Marshall appears to have no clue whatsoever how a 12-year old boy is supposed to act […]
Bill And Ted’s Excellent Adventure The concept or notion that popular music can and will one day result in the reinventing and restructuring of society to fulfill a more “positive” purpose is an idea that has been around since the advent of rock n roll itself.

Blade Runner: Final Cut An overwhelming work of art and one of the greatest motion pictures, sci-fi or otherwise, ever made, by Ridley Scott coming off of Alien. Perhaps the most amazing thing about it, at least in this Blu Ray release, is that the film was actually made in 1982 and yet looks like […]
