Bill Cobbs put in the time and the work. He was 90 years old when he passed away June 25 at his home in Riverside, California and leaves behind a career of over 200 screen credits, along with a number of theatrical performances. Born Wilbert Francisco Cobbs in Cleveland, Ohio circa 1934, a time and a place where a Black man wasn’t always assured his dignity and especially not his rights, Cobbs came into this world and grew at a moment where seeing himself on the big screen wasn’t exactly possible. Sure, there were exceptions with stereotypes played by Stepin Fetchit as well as the grandeur of Paul Robeson, but the idea of being an actor wasn’t one that came automatically for Cobbs. He tried his hand at music, spent eight years in the U.S. Air Force as a radar technician and occasional stand-up comedian, sold cars, even worked at Ibm,...

One-hit-wonders are an unusual thing. There are endless examples of artists that create something monumental that blasts its way into the pop culture zeitgeist and temporarily enchants and captures our attention. Then as quickly as they came, they seem to disappear. That is the idea behind 1996’s That Thing You Do! Written, directed by, and starring Tom Hanks as Mr. White- a big-time record producer who’s just discovered his next big talent- a small-town Pennsylvania rock n’ roll band with the potential to be the next big thing.
Now this movie was released in 1996 (as was a former entry into our own The Best Movie You Never Saw) and was Tom Hanks’ writing and directorial debut. Honestly, this is quite the freshman effort from the talented showman. The movie centers around The Wonders (formely the One-Ders), a local band that is struggling to find a good drummer before...

When people think of Jim Gillespie’s I Know What You Did Last Summer, they usually consider it a solid slasher. It certainly had an engaging lead cast—Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillippe—and a script from Scream creator himself, Kevin Williamson. It even spawned an Amazon Prime spinoff series and is being featured as part of a “High School Horror” category on the Criterion Channel.
But that’s not the film this article is about. This is about the 1998 sequel that has a less positive reputation: Danny Cannon’s I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, which brought back Hewitt and Prinze Jr., but not Gillespie and Williamson. A lot of people tend to think of it as a lesser follow-up that is best left forgotten.

Eddie Felson, an old pool player, reappears as a whiskey merchant when he meets Vince, an outstanding pool player. Together they embark on a father-son type of voyage of discovery.

"I've got a feeling this guy is not going to rest, until he gets justice for his son..." Cinedigm has released a second trailer for action crime thriller Beyond the Law, the latest from horror producer / director James Cullen Bressack. Steven Seagal, Dmx, and Johnny Messner star in this action-packed thriller about a man's quest for justice in a corrupt city. When a former detective learns of the murder of his estranged son, he ventures back to the darkened streets he once knew so well. Armed, dangerous and with nothing to lose, he must take on the ruthless local mob in his mission for revenge. Also starring Zack Ward and Chester Rushing, plus Bill Cobbs as a rough yet compassion friend of the reformed cop. This looks like one of the most bland, forgettable action films this year. But if you want to see it, this is already available on VOD now.

Sometimes if you want something done right, you need to empty a ton of guns into a ton of people yourself. At least, if you’re the ex-cop gunning for revenge against the people who killed his son in the gleefully violent action thriller “Beyond the Law.” And ahead of the film’s day and date release later this week, you can see the glorious carnage for yourself in the new redband trailer, available exclusively at the top of the page.
From director James Cullen Bressack, “Beyond the Law” stars Johnny Messner as that ex-cop, who gets dragged back into his old life after his son is murdered. With nothing to lose, he mixes it up with the city’s lowlifes and crosses paths with a veteran detective (Dmx) also determined to uncover the truth. But as their investigations drag them deeper into the criminal underworld, the come up against the local mob,...

"He's the dirtiest cop I ever knew." Cinedigm has released an official trailer for an action crime thriller titled Beyond the Law, the latest film by horror producer / filmmaker James Cullen Bressack. Steven Seagal, Dmx, and Johnny Messner star in this action-packed thriller about a man's quest for justice in a corrupt city. When a former detective learns of the murder of his estranged son, he ventures back to the darkened streets he once knew so well. Armed, dangerous and with nothing to lose, he must take on the ruthless local mob in his mission for revenge. Sounds like every other action crime film... right? Co-stars include Zack Ward and Chester Rushing, plus Bill Cobbs as a rough yet compassion portrayal of the reformed cop's friend and mentor. It's a bit sad, but at this point pretty much anything with Seagal is instantly forgettable. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for...

From director James Cullen Bressack, “Beyond the Law” stars Messner as an ex-cop dragged back into his old life after his estranged son is murdered. With nothing to lose, he searches for answers among the city’s most corrupt and dangerous people and crosses paths with a veteran detective (Dmx) also determined to uncover the truth. But as their investigations drag them deeper into the criminal underworld, the come up against the local mob, and a mysterious criminal enforcer (Seagal).

Welcome back to the Weekend Warrior, your weekly look at the new movies hitting theaters this weekend, as well as other cool events and things to check out.
This Past Weekend:
Another bad weekend where nothing really popped, which is bad news for a month at the box office where only Clint Eastwood’s Sully exceeded any expectations. Tim Burton’s new film Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children came out just below my predictions with $29 million, but the Mark Wahlberg-Peter Berg disaster flick Deepwater Horizon was right around where I predicted with $20.2 million. The comedy Masterminds tanked with just $6.5 million for the weekend to end up in sixth place while Disney’s The Queen of Katwe did slightly better than predicted with $2.5 million.
The first full weekend in October has a good deal of competition from the release of the video game Mafia III to the...

With more than a billion dollars in the bank already from the first two instalments, Night at the Museum 3 is set to bring the franchise to a close at the end of the year.
Officially titled Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, the film will bring its ensemble cast to London for its final outing, and it will break from the past formula to go beyond the museum walls, starting out in the American Museum of Natural History before taking in Trafalgar Square and the streets of London.
It may still be summer, but Christmas is going to come around before you know it, and Fox has launched a great first trailer and teaser poster for the family-friendly adventure comedy.

Just yesterday, we brought you new shots from Fox’s upcoming trilogy topper Night At The Museum: Secret Of The Tomb, and now the first trailer for the December release has arrived, promising patient fans of the franchise (which last reared its head in theaters circa 2009) a fittingly spectacular and eventful finale.
This time around, night security guard Larry Daley (Ben Stiller) brings his motley crew of living exhibits to the British Museum in London when Ahkmenrah’s (Rami Malek) Golden Tablet begins to decay, threatening to end the magic that brings the exhibits to life each night. Teaming with Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), Sacagewea (Mizuo Peck), Attila the Hun (Patrick Gallagher), Octavius (Steve Coogan) and Jedediah (Owen Wilson), Larry seeks out the counsel of a powerful pharaoh (Ben Kingsley), who created the tablet and is also Ahkmenrah’s father.
