We all have our favorite line. We all have our favorite scene. We would all add it to the list of our favorite movies of all time.

For actress Lisa Jakub, it was a dream for a fourteen-year-old to be on set with actors Sally Field, Pierce Brosnan, and Robin Williams. Help is on the way, dear, to see what Lisa’s been up to since starring in one of the most memorable comedies of the 90s that still holds up today.

Look, there are some people that, if cited as a favorite character or quoted/emulated, can have red flags the size of an interstate billboard.

By Ross Tyson | February 14, 2023

Superman Lives and its varied production issues before being shut down are (and were) a movie unto themselves, but it just gets more and more insane the closer you look at it. There were so many different pieces of this film that were at odds with each other it’s a wonder it even got as far as it did.

Versatile French creatives have been the toast of the artistic community for ages. Actors, musicians, directors, filmmakers and more make up this iconic category. An important part of this class is Julie Delpy. As an actress, director, screenwriter, and musician, Delpy perfectly encapsulates the French artist.

So we’re all on the same page about John Travolta’s character Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction being kind of an idiot right? He’s not bright, he’s just a cocky son of a bitch with the ability to be charismatic for the right director. The problem is, that stupidity leads to a lot of the problems in Pulp Fiction.

One of the Most Iconic Lines in Robocop Wasn’t Intentional

By Ross Tyson | February 11, 2023

Paul Verhoeven’s Robocop is a masterpiece of not just an action sci-fi film, but a satiric take on law enforcement and standards for justice in America.
