GUEST EDITORIAL: Film Review of 2015’s "Spectre"

by Kevin Gardner

The follow-up to Skyfall, regarded as one of the finest Bond films ever made, is a much different film than its predecessor. Spectre is a modern take on James Bond’s famous clichés and plot conventions. Unlike Skyfall, it does not slow down for sadness or melodrama, but it pauses for a second then surges forward with high-energy action scenes. Spectre’s stunts are some of the most impressive of the series, and Daniel Craig (Bond) rarely seems able to take a breath after he’s thrown around by Dave Bautista or attacked by twenty black-suited men with submachine guns.

That's where the idea of casting John Cusack and Thomas Jane as lead actors came in. The movie received limited theatrical and wide home video distribution in the United States through Image Entertainment Company.

GUEST CRITIC #70: Detroit

by Lafronda Stumn

As busy I get from time to time, I find that I can't see every movie under the sun, leaving my friends and colleagues to fill in the blanks for me. As poetically as I think I wax about movies on this website as a wannabe critic, there are other experts out there. Sometimes, it inspires me to see the movie too and get back to being my circle's go-to movie guy. Sometimes, they save me $9 and you 800+ words of blathering. In a new review series, I'm opening my site to friend submissions for guest movie reviews.
