The thing that sets the "Guardians of the Galaxy" apart from the "Avengers" team is the fact that the Guardians feel like an actual family. They argue, like any other family, but there are moments of affection and tenderness between them to balance that out, something the "Avengers" films lack. The Avengers...

This manga creates a intricate story that can be hard to follow. It uses magic and reincarnation, while melding it into a world much like ours. It's easy to get lost in the characters and their past lives, while in turn you lose track of what is happening in the characters' present. Minami Harusmi...

The best thing about director Ben Wheatley's "Free Fire", currently the best film I've seen in 2017, is that it isn't trying to be anything deep or profound. At a crisp 90 minutes, it is simply actors you recognize shooting guns at each other in one place the whole time. It's a plot that could easily...

When David Fincher's "The Social Network" came out way back in 2010, I was a mere 11 years old. As a result, I had neither the attention span necessary to watch it nor the life experience needed to understand what it was trying to say. I knew that it was about the creation of Facebook and that was pretty...
