My Summer of Classics: 'Die Hard'
Is Die Hard a perfect movie? Well, it’s a perfect Christmas movie. As for an action movie, it’s as close to perfect as the genre is likely to ever come. John McClane is the quintessential everyman action hero. He’s the guy next to you on a subway who happens to know how to fire a gun and is trained to be a little more observant than others, but he’s not some muscled-up beef-head. He’s just a capable guy in a complicated situation, the right hero for the right moment.

#60yearsofJamesBond: Die Another Day
Few Bond films stoke quite the reaction that "Die Another Day" does. The final Bond film to feature Pierce Brosnan was controversial from its release in 2002, and has remained so in the twenty years since. Many fans take issue with a number of elements of this film, including, but not limited to: the plot, the characters, the direction, the acting, the product placement, the CGI, the humour and the gadgets. That's quite a list, sure, but, perhaps, "Die Another Day"'s problems stretch quite a bit deeper. As the first Bond film of the 21st century, "Die Another Day" should have shown how Bond could survive in a new and changing world, with a cinema landscape that was radically different to the one the franchise had emerged into forty years previously. Instead, it reignited the debate that had seemed to have been settled back in the early 90s about Bond being outdated, and that maybe it was time to move on from this 60s stereotype of British masculinity. And it is hard to argue that this film gives this impression: far from being a celebration of the franchise's forty year history, this film nearly kills that legacy by being pretty much a train wreck from beginning to end.

The Movies That Made Me: How I Became A Film Critic . Top Story - August 2022.
Recently I watched a documentary on film art and history and it put me in the mind of thinking about my formative moviegoing experiences. Remembering the moviegoing experiences that shaped who I am as a film critic and as someone who simply loves movies. My earliest moviegoing experience was not all that memorable. I was 6 years old and my brother Chuck and his then girlfriend took me and my brother Kevin and my younger sister Amy to see E.T.

What 'The Secret Of Kells' Teaches us About Cellach
Abbot Cellach is one of the main characters of the 2009 animated film, The Secret Of Kells. He is the main caretaker and uncle for our main character, Brendan. Throughout the film he is shown to be very harsh with his nephew and with many other characters. Though much is implied, there is very little that is flatly stated about the man and his history. In fact, we never find through the film how he came to raise Brendan in the first place. For the sake of simplicity, I will only be covering what is in the movie, not true history. Today we are looking at the character of Abbot Cellach and what we can best piece together about the man's past.

Why The SnyderVerse's Popularity is WBD's Best Solution!
The release of Zack Snyder's Justice League on digital platforms after its debut as an HBO Max streaming exclusive shows that there is still an appetite for the DCEU and WBD's best solution to their problems. The Snyder Cut and the concept of the SnyderVerse is one of the most demanding requests by fans for the future of the DCEU. Although the first film in the DCEU was Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, it was the release of the Snyder Cut, the latest film in a franchise that former WB executives believed was a box office failure only to become a global phenomenon.
