Let’s talk about X-Men for a minute.  The first two films are partially responsible for popularity of the superhero movie.  They were huge blockbusters with recognizable characters, famous actors, and decent storylines to boot.  Then there was the disastrous X-Men: The Last Stand that left the franchise with a bitter taste in the mouths of [...]

There is a string of classic baseball movies that are a staple of American culture just like apple pie, and none top the list in my opinion other than Major League.  The classic cast of characters from Rick Vaughn to Willie Mays Hayes and the other hooligans combine for one amazing baseball comedy.  It’s the [...]
