Gritty crime dramas are always an easy sell. There have been countless films and TV series built on and around that popular genre. In the new film A MOST VIOLENT YEAR, written and directed by J.C. Chandor, the opportunity to offer up an amazing film is grandly missed. All the ingredients are there but sadly the movie fails to deliver anything new and/or intriguing. Statistics show that 1981 was the most violent year on record for New York city. That is the true backdrop for this fictional story. In it Abel Morales (Oscar Isaac) runs a lucrative oil and gas business with his wife Anna (Jessica Chastain). Abel is a soft spoken but focused...

Spare Parts
posted by Matt Mungle
There are many films that are inspired by true events but few are as inspiring as SPARE PARTS. Full of heart and fist pumping achievement this is a story that proves no goal is unattainable when you stay focused and see it through to the end. Four Hispanic youth and a teacher that never gave up on them did something many would think impossible. When Fredi Cameron (George Lopez), a smart, successful engineer, took a substitute teaching job at a low income high school in Phoenix AZ he figured he would bide his time teaching math until something better came along. He never imagined getting involved with a team of four undocumented high school...

Over the next year, 16,000 children and adolescents in the United States will be diagnosed with cancer. Twenty percent of them will not survive — a grim statistic, but one that St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, is doing everything possible to reverse. In 1989, having fallen ill, hospital founder Danny Thomas was unable to deliver the keynote address at that year’s Country Radio Seminar in Nashville. Alabama frontman Randy Owen filled in for his friend and challenged Country broadcasters to take on Thomas’s mission of wiping out pediatric cancer and providing lifesaving medical attention for stricken children at...
