When I listed my 45 favorite movies, I briefly mentioned that I had never seen anything from Bruce Lee. I know Bruce Lee by his reputation as a great martial artist whose life tragically ended early. From there, various fake Bruces popped up, and then his own son Brandon suffered Read more
Director Matthew Vaughn and actor Daniel Craig have both gone on to bigger things since their 2004 collaboration Layer Cake. Vaughn found a niche for himself adapting Mark Millar-written comics into crazy action movies like Kick-Ass and the Kingsmen series. Craig, of course, went on to be James Bond. But, Read more
Taika Waititi must love taking chances. Granted, they’ve paid off for him so far. What We Do in the Shadows and The Hunt for the Wilderpeople were both funny and fresh comedies. His entry to the MCU, Thor: Ragnarok, rightfully propelled him into the big time. And what does he Read more
