Legion M Lets You (Partly) Own a Movie Studio
Have you ever wanted to own a movie studio? Think you could make better greenlight decisions than the current production executives? This is your chance. An investment opportunity previously limited to the wealthy is now open to regular, ordinary people thanks to the new JOBS Act (Jumpstart Our Business Startups), signed by President Obama. Protections put in place after the stock market crash of 1929 have been eased to allow people...

Bad Moms
Even the most outrageous comedy has to have some grounding in reality, if only through taking place in a world that is consistently imagined. If we don't know where we are, there may be jokes, but it is not truly comedy.
Writer/directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore are not people with a lot of ideas. Their "21 and Over" was pretty much the same movie as their "Hangover." And the big innovation here is that this time it's girls-gone-wild instead of boys. But it plays like it was inspired by a...

Jason Bourne
Whoever thought that the "Fast and Furious" series would keep getting better while the once-smart "Bourne" series is the one that drives off a cliff?
During the boring parts of this movie, I played a game I made up that I called "Same or Different." For example, in one of the earlier Bourne movies, our hero, the once-amnesiac CIA assassin Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) grabbed a limited-use anonymous cell phone for a particularly clever maneuver. In this one, he grabs a small tracking device...

“Final Girl” Caroline Williams and “Sharknado 4”
The sequel to the sequel to the sequel has arrived. On July 31, 2016, Syfy will unleash "Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens." And you know what that means: more cheesy cameos from 80's stars, more sharks (did I hear them say cow-nado?), and more silly, over-the-top thrills to tweet about. This time, it's Las Vegas that gets hit. And this time, the audience got to decide whether the character played by Tara Reid will survive.
