Train-Related Thrillers Worth the Trip

September 13, 2021 in Collections

Of course, when trains and film intersect, it’s impossible to ignore the influence of the great Alfred Hitchcock, so he’ll be well represented here. This list spans decades and the films included feature a variety of uniques twists and turns (or jerks and jolts, for that matter). There’s some romance, yes, there’s suspense, there’s murder, and there are even some Korean zombies. Enjoy this list of contemporary and classic train flicks.

Underrated Films from 2010 You Should Watch (Or Rewatch)

September 08, 2020 in Collections

There were a lot of films that stood out to filmgoers in 2010—things like INCEPTION, THE KING'S SPEECH, THE SOCIAL NETWORK, BLACK SWAN, and 127 HOURS were critical and commercial successes. But as with any year you examine, there were also some very solid and entertaining movies that I feel like we aren't talking about or enjoying enough now, ten years on from their release. Here are a few that stand out to me. Some of them I saw back in 2010, and others I have caught up with in the interim...

The Sneaky Good Year of Film: 2010

December 10, 2019 in Collections

I like to look beyond the major, oft-celebrated offerings as the true measure of an individual year. There’s always a slate of critically-acclaimed Oscar bait and hugely successful box office darlings that remain broadly representative of any given year. You might rankle upon remembering that The King’s Speech won the Best Picture Oscar or that Tim Burton’s visually stunning but vapid Alice in Wonderland made $334 million domestically.

Seven Must-See Denzel Washington Films

December 27, 2018 in Collections

Ever since that chance encounter with Denzel Washington, I’ve become quite a fan of his. My absolute favorite Denzel Washington movie is Man on Fire, which I’ll discuss a bit later. But first, a little about the man. Denzel Washington was born on December 28, 1954 in Mount Vernon, NY. He originally wanted to be a journalist and earned a bachelor’s degree from Fordham University. While in college, he participated in theatre productions, and we can all be glad that he decided to change his focus. He’s been acting since 1975, and in 2016, he received the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award at the 73rd Golden Globes.
