Tombstone was another 90s-era action film that supplied a large all-star cast, which included Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton, Dana Delany, Jason Priestly and Charlton Heston.

I have to grade Armageddon on a curve. The reason is that no matter how limited or contrived the story is, one can not escape the sheer entertainment value of this implausible action adventure science farce. Released in 1998, Armageddon became a watershed moment in the moviemaking careers of both its producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Pearl [...]

The creative geniuses at Pixar created a film in Toy Story that is just as enjoyable and endearing today, as it was when I first watched years ago.

The episode is taylor-made for [...]

We rarely get books to review here at FilmFetish, but I enjoy getting the opportunity to when I can. The publisher sent us in a copy of The Basic Book of Digital Photography: How to Shoot, Enhance, and Share Your Digital Pictures, by authors Tom and Michele Grimm, and it truly has something for everyone.

In 2007’s Blue Harvest, the Family Guy crew famously parodied Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, using their trademark cheeky and sometimes over the top humor. Now they’re back with Family Guy: Something, Something, Something, Dark Side, which pokes fun at what many consider the Holy Grail of the Star Wars saga… The Empire [...]
