Read MoreCanadian born comedian Seth Rogen poses the always asked question: can you achieve the American dream? An answer that seems basic enough where anybody can come from anywhere and make their dreams come true.

Read MoreThis weekend would have been the end of the summer movie season and with it a reflection on the good, bad, and terrible films of the past three months.

Just when you think you've seen everything, Palm Springs lets you experience a different kind of endless summer.
Read MoreOver the course of ten years, eighteen films, and an $11 billion box office haul, Marvel has brought about an event in film making. Bringing together over thirty super heroes in a battle against one big bad, Avengers: Infinity War is a film most said was unfilmable and unattainable. Now that it is out, does it live up to all the hype? In short - yes.
