The Tortured Release Tale of 'The Upside' Starring Kevin Hart
The Upside starring Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston opens nationwide this weekend, and there is much that we know thus far about this film. Not the least of which is the ongoing controversy surrounding Kevin Hart and his unceremonious (literally) departure from hosting the Academy Awards. When Hart was announced as the host last year, Twitter users began reposting homophobic tweets that the actor and comedian had posted years earlier.

Under Appreciated Films of History I
In the early days of Soviet film there was a great art film boom, led by a large variety of directors. Vsevolod Pudovkin, Sergei Eisenstein, Lev Kuleshov, Dziga Vertov, and many others released film after film that were each wonderful examples of the medium. Unfortunately, a lot of these fantastic films (as well as other great films from around the world) were and remain underappreciated, something that I aim to change. One such film was Lev Kuleshov’s first comedy, The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr. West in the Land of the Bolsheviks, in which Pudovkin wrote, acted, and provided art direction. It was released in 1924, and at only 94 minutes, was a relatively short silent film.

'Ralph Breaks the Internet'—A Movie Review
For the last five years, my best friend and I have had a tradition where we see a movie on the second of January. We’ve seen a handful of good movies to start off our year. This year we saw Ralph Breaks the Internet. It was a powerful story that really spoke to me. It’s been a while since I had fun watching a movie looking forward to what will happen next and even feeling a little down when it had to end.

10 Characters Marvel Should Introduce into the 'MCU' After 'Phase 3' Has Concluded
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a film franchise that is unrivaled as far as sheer commercial success is concerned. Earning billions in revenue worldwide the long-running set of films is reaching its climactic conclusion in the upcoming Avengers: Endgame,ending the Phase Three arc of films. We do know the films are going to continue, but how the next Phase of films will play out is unclear. We know Spider-man: Far From Home is in the works, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was planned until the James Gunn scandal. But, with the huge success being created by the films, it is highly unlikely the journey is over yet.

'Mr. Destiny'—It's Another Wonderful Life
Hello, and welcome back to Second Chances where I give the maligned and forgotten another shot at the spotlight. As I write this, Christmas was three days ago. Though a lot of various things have become commonplace at Christmas over the years, one movie that has become traditional for people to watch every year is Frank Capra's classic It's a Wonderful Life. The story of a man discovering how he touched the lives of many is the very definition of inspirational. Needless to say, such a popular and universal message is ripe for copying, and there have been tons of copycats over the years. Even Married... With Children spoofed it back in 1989. However, my favorite take on the idea is a mostly forgotten 1990 comedy-drama called Mr. Destiny.
