Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer star in Warner Bros. Pictures' "The Man From U.N.C.L.E"

Summer should be filled with breezy action films like The Man from U.N.C.L.E. With the void left while waiting for the new James Bond film, Spectre, spoofs like Spy and reincarnated homages like The Man from U.N.C.L.E. are emerging to keep the audiences entertained with espionage and gadgets galore. Based on the massively popular television series that ran fifty years …

(L-r) Jamie Bell, Michael B. Jordan, Mile Teller and Kate Mara star in 20th Century Fox's "Fantastic Four"

Ryan Reynolds stars in Gramercy Pictures' "Self/less"

While I was watching Self/less, the word that kept popping into my mind was “messy.” It is a messy film, with many points of interest, multiple sources for character motivation, and frantic sways between emotion and action. Even with all of these competing elements, the film generally works. Directed by Tarsem Singh (The Fall, The Cell, Mirror Mirror, amongst other …
