Back to the Future Part II
When Back to the Future became an instant phenomenon, with a joke ending that implied a sequel, you know a sequel was guaranteed at some point. Director Robert Zemeckis said that no sequel was planned, and he and co-writer and … Continue reading

Back to the Future
With most movies I’ve seen, I have a fairly good memory of the first time I saw them, especially if they had an impact on me. I don’t remember the first time I saw Back to the Future too well … Continue reading

Fantastic Four month 2 – Fantastic Four (2005)

Bruce Willis month 4 – Armageddon
I knew sooner or later I’d get around to talking about Michael Bay as a director. As explained in my The Sixth Sense review, Bruce Willis agreed to a three picture deal for Disney at a lower pay cut because … Continue reading
