Entertainment Magazine: Reporters Kyler KuehlerEmail Kyler Kuehler: kpkuehler@gmail.com Hi everyone, my name is Kyler Kuehler and have currently been living in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for the past three years. I currently work full time and attend college in hopes of getting my Associates Degree in Journalism and Mass Communications. I have enjoyed writing for many years and what I write are articles, short stories and have even written a full length novel, which I plan to have published into print one day so I can turn writing into full career.
SHOULD "PACIFIC RIM" AND "GODZILLA" CROSSOVER? Whenever the world comes under attack from giant monsters there is only one creature that can save us. The mighty lizard known as Godzilla. Now that Godzilla has been released to the big screen moviegoers are jumping out of their seats and rushing to the theatres to see the mightiest of all monsters bring new excitement to the generation of today. GODZILLA - In the world on monsters that have appeared on the big screen there are really none that can stand up to the mightiest of them all, the fire-breathing lizard Godzilla. With all the films this lizard has brought to the big screen his most recent would be the 2014 film titled "Godzilla," which is set in the world of today that and tells the story of the giant lizard being a monster that wrecks havoc upon all humans in the possible outcome of terminating their race once and for all. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2: REVIEW With ever comic book film that has hit the big screen there have been sequels to go along with them and one in particular would be the 2014 film "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," which is the sequel to the 2012 film "The Amazing Spider-Man." CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER After the events of "The Avengers" all the Marvel superheroes have now been off on their own films to set up for "The Avengers: The Age of Ultron," which will be released in 2015. One of these films is the 2014 film titled "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and in this film Captain America must now face with his ultimate challenge yet as the villain known as the Winter Soldier reeks to bring terror upon the citizens of not only the world but the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as well. In this film not only must Captain America true powers and courage be put to the test, but also his trust as well as in every turn he is forced to make crucial decisions on whether he can trust anyone even the ones closest to him. WHAT MONSTERS COULD APPEAR IN GODZILLA REBOOT. Godzilla is by far one of the greatest monsters ever to hit the big screen, if not the best, and what makes this giant fire-breathing lizard so great is not just his destructive nature, but the many other monsters that have appeared on screen with him. FILMS THAT MIGHT GROSS THE MOST REVENUE IN 2014 Whenever a new year comes around everyone always awaits the arrival of the years new run of films set to be released in the year. Now every year there are hundreds of films that are set to be released and of all the films that are released audiences always await the big blockbuster films. Film sequels are always a part of Hollywood that have brought more audiences members to theatres with some being good and others not so much. In the 2013 film, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug", which is the sequel to "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," continues the story of Bilbo Baggins and his journey with the thirteen dwarves on their quest to reclaim the dwarf homeland known as the Kingdom of Erebor (a.k.a. the Lonely Mountain). The 2013 film, "Frozen" is a Disney animated feature film, which is loosely inspired by the famous Danish author and poet, Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Snow Queen. The film tells the story of two princesses; Elsa, the soon-to-be Queen, and Anna (her younger sister) in the kingdom of Arendelle. The God of Thunder has returned to the big screen in his latest blockbuster "Thor: The Dark Worlds." In this sequel to the 2011 film "Thor" the mighty God of Thunder now faces his biggest threat ever as he must fight to save the Nine Realms from the evil and powerful Malekith, who is much stronger than Thor. BEST COMIC BOOK FIGHTS ON SCREEN. In the world of comic book films we all look forward to seeing just how well they turn out to be and how close they resembled the comic books. There are also the things we anxiously await to see in these movies from the superhero or heroes, the plot, the action, and the villains. Captain Phillips.
Everyone loves to watch films that are based on true events or stories
that took place and the 2013 film "Captain Philips" is just another one
of those films. The film tells the true story of Captain Richard Philips
and how he was held hostage in April of 2009 by Somali Pirates during
the Maersk Alabama hijacking. It then becomes a story of survival as
Captain Philips fights to stay alive in hopes of returning home to his
family. Just when all things seem to never end their comes hope when a
group of Navy Seals are called to action to take out the pirates and
bring Philips back to safety. The 2013 film "Captain Philips," which was based on the true story of Captain Richard Philips taken hostage by Somali Pirates, truly was a magnificent film that showed us just how deadly the seas off of the coast of Africa can truly be. GRAVITY A journey to space is an adventure many people dream of and only a small number will ever get the chance, but what if when you finally got to make that journey to space everything suddenly turned into your worst nightmare. The 2013 film, "Gravity" is just that as a group of five astronauts that are on a mission to space and everything seems to be going well until a field of flying debris from a Russian anti-satellite test flies towards them destroying the satellite, they are working on, along with their space shuttle. WHAT TO EXPECT IN CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON REMAKE Remakes in Hollywood have always been a major choice for writers and directors whenever they want to make another film. Now there have been hundreds of remakes in the film industry and with every remake that has hit the big screen we as audience members always question ourselves on what to expect to see in the remake of a classical film or maybe not so. COULD GODZILLA REMAKE TURN THE LIZARD AROUND When you feel the ground start to shake, buildings come crumbling down, fire burning everywhere, and you hear a loud roar you better run because those are signs that the mightiest of all monsters is coming, it's GODZILLA! BEN AFFLECK AS BATMAN, TERRIBLE IDEA Well audience members I would have to say that the "Man of Steel" sequel will truly fail now and not only the film's sequel, but the entire role of Batman now that Warner Brothers has just announced that actor Ben Affleck will put on the suit and take the role of the great and unstoppable Dark Knight. DID ROBIN REALLY HAVE TO BE A PART OF BATMAN? Batman and Robin are possibly the most famous dynamic duo ever in all of comic books as they work together in many different ways and even managed to make on the big screen together in the 1966 "Batman" along with "Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin" (which by the way were both very terrible). SHOULD 'MAN OF STEEL' PREQUEL HAPPEN? The "Man of Steel" film was a great success and has gained a lot of attention with a sequel already under way and a third film planned after that. SHOULD BATMAN APPEAR IN 'MAN OF STEEL' SEQUEL IN 2015 So we all have probably heard that the sequel to "Man of Steel" will be hitting the big screen in 2015 and to make things more interesting is that the sequel will even bring Batman into the film, which may be a set up to the rumored upcoming "Justice League" film. THE JUSTICE LEAGUE FILM WILL FAIL Comic book films have been on a roll for the past few years and are now at their peak drawing in crowds of million all around the globe. With the success of many like the Marvel Comics "The Avengers" and all the films leading up to the film has encouraged DC Comics to go and create a Justice League film after the success of "The Dark Knight Trilogy" and the now "Man of Steel." WAS 'THE WOLVERINE' POST-CREDITS SCENE REALITY OR A DREAM: In the 2013 film "The Wolverine" we saw the events that happened to Wolverine/Logan after " X-Men: The Last Stand" and all throughout the film we saw Wolverine keep on having dreams of Jean with her telling him to join her, in which means he must die in order to do so. THE WOLVERINE: REVIEW: The X-Men films are considered to be a set of films worth watching, though others are not as great as they were thought to be they have always been entertaining and focus on many characters, but the 2013 film, "The Wolverine" is just that as it focuses completely on Wolverine himself with no relation to any of the other X-Men. THINGS WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE IN MAN OF STEEL SEQUEL: "Man of Steel" to many was considered a great film as we were introduced to great action and a story that told us the entire background to Superman/Clark's past. The film even brought General Zod and his henchmen that almost destroyed the entire planet, which we saw in "Superman 2," but in this reboot they were more destructive and stopped at nothing to retrieve the codex from Superman's cells. Man of Steel Comic book films have always been adored by the public and most of the time receive positive reviews from the critics and public. Yet there are the ones that just never cut it and become complete failures. JURASSIC PARK 3D: REVIEW Dinosaurs ruled the Earth sixty-five million years ago, but that does not mean that we cannot see them on the big screen. Now there are several films that are about dinosaurs, but the most well known and by far one of the films ever directed by Steven Spielberg is none other than the 1993 film, "Jurassic Park," which was based on the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton. We all have seen films that involve terrorist or foreign countries taking over a city or specific U.S. Government like Air Force One, the Pentagon or any other U.S. related area or building. In the 2013 film, "Olympus has Fallen" is just another as it is about a group of terrorist that have taken over the White House and captured the Commander in Chief (the President of the United States of America). n the 2013 film, Jack the Giant Slayer is just another of those films as it is taken from the famous "Jack and the Beanstalk" and given an entirely new plot. The story in this film is where young Jack accidently opens up the gateway to the world of Giants, who were thought to only be legend, is revealed and they try to reclaim the world they lost centuries ago. HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS: REVIEW We all know the classic story of the brother and sister named "Hansel and Gretel" and how their evil stepmother tries to be rid of them by leaving them in the forest alone only to find themselves in the hands of a witch that plans to eat them by fatting them up, but the 2013 film titled, "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" follows a little of the same plot, but with a whole new twist. JUST HOW GREAT WILL JURASSIC PARK APPEAR IN 3-D When 3-D first was brought into theatres it really was not that big of a thing in film until the mid 2000s when the format began to grow in popularity with many films being released into regular 2-D and 3-D. STORIES THAT COULD BE LIVE-ACTION FILMS WITH NEW PLOTS FILMS OF 2013 THAT JUST MIGHT GROSS THE MOST REVENUE With every new year we all look forward to what the year brings ahead and try to accomplish some of our goals, but one thing we most of us look forward to in the new year are the new set of films that will hit the big screen. TRANSFORMERS IV IS ALREADY A FAILURE Transformers were once a famous toy line that captured the imagination of children and teens and with the toys being so popular there soon was a animated television show based on the toys and just recently there were a set of three live action films to hit the big screen. Though the films managed to bring in hundreds of millions of dollars with a grand total of $2,669,760,469, but yet they failed to bring great reviews to critics with the first having the high of 57 percent from Rotten Tomatoes and the sequels only reaching 21 percent and 36 percent. WILL THE HOBBIT WIN BEST PICTURE AT THE OSCARS? The year of 2012 had its ups and downs in film and with the year now coming to an end it now comes time to start choosing Oscar nominations in all categories for the 85th Academy Awards and the most anticipating of all the Oscars would indeed be the Oscar for Best Picture in film. THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY- REVIEW "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" has always been a film trilogy that has been enjoyed by fans of all ages ever since they were first released and after their release they had plans to make "The Hobbit" film, but it seemed that it would never happen with all its cancelations on who would direct and write it. Then about two years ago it was confirmed it would happen and it would be filmed into three films and in the year 2012 the first film titled, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" was released and it tells part of the story of Bilbo Baggins and how he met Gandalf, the wizard and twelve dwarfs that lead him on an adventure through Middle Earth up to the point of discovering the One Ring in Gollum's layer. RED DAWN: REVIEW The United States of America has always been 'the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.' In the 2012 film "Red Dawn" all that freedom and bravery is put to the test as North Korean invaders take control of a Washington town and just when all seems hopeless a group of young Americans, who call themselves the 'Wolverines,' join together to fight the invaders and take back their homeland and show everyone why they are the 'Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.' WHAT FILMS WITH ACTION NEED TO HAVE TO BE SUCCESSFUL When it comes to action films we as fans always expect to see a lot of action in these types of films from gun fights, sword/knife fights, explosions and even hand to hand combat. We also look to see the type of hero we are expecting to save the day and the villain they will have to defeat towards the end of the film. LINCOLN Abraham Lincoln is possibly one of the greatest U.S. Presidents ever to take office and what makes him so famous is his quest to demolish slavery and end the Civil War. In the 2012 film, "Lincoln" tells the story of the last four months of his time in office before his assassination at Ford's Theatre in 1865. DOES JURASSIC PARK REALLY HAVE TO CONTINUE? The film, "Jurassic Park," based on the novel by Michael Crichton, truly is one of Steven Spielberg's greatest films ever to be made as it tells the story of a man how discovered how to clone dinosaurs back to life. WHY STAR WARS SHOULD NOT BE CONTINUED Now that has all been said and done, what other story could they come up with that could top this? I honestly do not believe there can be a story to top this one and therefore it is best to not continue the "Star Wars" series. WHAT WILL JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT'S CHARACTER JOHN BLAKE BE IN ANY FUTURE BATMAN FILMS Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight Trilogy" has finally ended and it truly has become one of the greatest film trilogies of all time as it brought us great heroes and villains and amazing stories with ground breaking effects. The Rugby House - a combo hit Here in the heart of Texas there are many sport bars here and there are ones with great food and beer and others only offer great beer, but not food. One place that offers both would have to be The Rugby House Pub located in the city of Plano. The Best Horror Films Ever The chills and thrills of the horror genre always make us want to sleep with the lights on and never go anywhere alone as we are just too afraid to come across serial killers, witches, vampires, werewolves, or any type of monster that we see in horror films. Frankenweenie What do you get when you cross the famous story of Frankenstein with a dog named Sparky, you get a stop motion-animation film called, "Frankenweenie." The Worst Horror Films Ever The genre of horror sure is the genre that has made great films, but yet plenty of terrible ones as well as for some are nothing more than just blood and gore with no plot and even have girls getting naked, which basically turns the film into a porno. Looper We have all seen those movies where the main character does a job that he enjoys until he is forced to do it on some innocent child or person, but what if that person was forced to kill the future of themselves? In the 2012 film "Looper" a young man, who is a part of a mafia company, works as a 'Looper' that kills all agents that are sent from the future by their employers from corporate headquarters in Shanghai. GREAT FILMS WITH DIFFERENT PLOTS FROM THE ORIGINAL STORY Throughout
the years there have been films based off of fairy tales, short stories
and books that have become popular to the public, but what if they
created a film with a completely different plot from the original story
we all know well to our hearts. WHY REBOOTING BATMAN IS A BAD IDEA Batman has been one the most well-known comic book heroes of all time as he fights crime like every other hero does and yet he does not have superpowers, but the gadgets he uses to take down his enemies. With his success as a comic book hero he soon made his way on to the big screen in his first 1966 film and then in 1989 to 1997 and followed by a reboot, from Christopher Nolan, from 2005 to 2012. THE EXPENDABLES 2: REVIEW Action films have always brought us plenty of action with some great and others not so great. The 2012 film "The Expendables 2," a sequel to the 2010 film "The Expendables," is an action film that does just that and to pump up the action level they once again bring back some of the same stars from the original, giving some bigger roles and adding new stars into the picture. Indeed this film had plenty of action, but I just did not find it to be one of the greatest action films of all and I must now tell you why. FILMS THAT SHOULD HAVE DIFFERENT RATINGS Ever since the 1960 film, "Psycho" film ratings have been around to help guide parents on what movies would be suitable for their children to watch. With the five film ratings we have ones that are for children, the ones for teens and the ones made out for adults. With each film having its own rating, it even tells the audience why they have the ratings they were given. THE WORST COMIC BOOK VILLAINS ON THE BIG SCREEN Villains are everywhere and in the world of comic book films they will always be there to give more action to the hero's adventure in their fight to save the ones they love and the city they protect. THE GREATEST ANIMAL VILLAINS IN FILM Villains in film always have to be a human or some humanlike creature to give the film its potential to offer a great battle between hero and villain, but does the villain always have to be human or humanlike to give such great chaos? The Greatest Fantasy and Action Villans Ever In the world of fantasy and action films there have always been the heroes that we all love to watch and see defeat the villain in the end and go on to live out more adventures. Villans That Became Heroes in the End In films villains are to be seen in most or all of them and yes the villains are evil people that want to just cause pain and chaos to everyone around them to reveal their true nature. The Best Comic Book Villains to Hit the Big Screen Comic books have been fascinating people for decades and they have become so popular that they have gone on to become their own television show and some have even be created into feature films to hit the big screen. The Worst Comic Book Films Ever Comic book films usually are films that we all enjoy and love to watch over again, but I would have to say that there are indeed a few that just never made it as far as I see it they were just a complete waste of time and money. The Best Disney Fights Disney is one of the greatest film studios that has created hundreds of great and memorable films that will be with us for all times. The Best Disney Villans The world of Disney has created several great films that brought stories to remember and songs that had us singing to every minute of the day. "The Dark Night Rises" In the world of comic books most have become popular with fans to where they gained their own television show and then became full length feature films. For all the films based off of comic books there have been several that have made it big while others did not do so well. Killer Croc in the Next Batman Films In the world of Batman we have see many villains hit the big screen with some being great and others not so great. With all the films that have been made with some introducing new villains and others the same none could compare to Christopher Nolan's characters as he introduced Scarecrow, Joker, and Bane. Nolan brought to his trilogy some great and memorable villains and now that his trilogy has come to an end we are now left to think what villains could come along in any future Batman films. A Dallas tradition- Twin Peaks Frisco. Twin Peaks restaurants started in the Dallas area and have been around since 2005 with over twenty locations. Cinemark movies is on the mark. There are several movie theatres that are to be found here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and none have been as great to go watch great films in is none other than Cinemark Theatres. Wolverine should be in Avengers Sequel. With the success of the 2012 film "The Avengers" Marvel has stated they would indeed create a sequel to the film to bring more action and possibly more superheroes to the big screen. The Amazing Spider-Man: Review. In the world of comic book films there are many that have amazed us as well disappointed us and there are still more to come to show us what they have to offer. We even have noticed remakes or reboots of original comic book films like Batman, Captain America, The Hulk and most were great and the 2012 reboot of "Spider-Man" of 2002 titled, "The Amazing Spider-Man" was indeed one of those great films. Films That Will Never Be Forgotten Prometheus In the world of film we always see great movies that turn into great sequels and some not so great. There are even movies that are called prequels, which tell the story before the original on how everything came to be like "Star Wars," "X-Men," "The Thing" and many more. The 2012 science fiction film titled, "Prometheus," is just that as it is a prequel to the beloved 1979 "Alien" film directed by Ridley Scott, who also was the director of "Prometheus."n in hopes of finding alien life form. Great Movies with Great Fights. There are hundreds of great movies out there and what we mainly watch them for could be for the actors/actresses or maybe even the directors, but we may also watch them for some of the intense fights that are bound to happen sometime in the films. Though there are many great fights that we all enjoy to watch I narrowed it down to a few that we all most certainly love to watch. Disney's Greatest Movies There are several Studios that create great movies for us to watch and one in particular is probably the most famous of them all, Disney, created by none other than Walt Disney himself. Snow White and the Huntsman. In the world of film there are many fairy tales that have captured the attention of the audience for decades with all having great impact on our minds. They are always the same story, but sometimes might contain a few minor changes from the original story. Then there are others that tell us a whole different story that we never even thought would happen in a fairy tale. In the 2012 film titled, "Snow White and the Huntsman" does just that as it takes the original story of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and turns it into and action packed fantasy film turning the loving Snow White we all know and turning her into a sword welding soldier. The Raven There are many films that revolve around death and for some the crimes that are committed in those films could be based off of past crimes, but in the 2012 thriller titled, "The Raven" the murders that are set are based off of not past crimes, but stories from a famous American author/poet, Edgar Allen Poe The Cabin in the Woods. There are several genres in film that most everyone would love to enjoy to watch and one of those genres is the horror genre, which has been around for as long as films have been created. Every year there are several films that fall into this genre that are released into theaters with some being good and others not so great and with the year now a quarter of the way done one of the first horror films released into in theaters is a movie titled "The Cabin in the Woods." Act of Valor. here are several movies out there that are about the United States military with some being fiction and others truth and they can rather tell about several branches or just one of the military. The 2012 film titled, "Act of Valor" tells true missions that U. S. Navy Seals had to face and accomplish to save the lives of many. The Grey Have you ever flown in a plane and wondered what might happen if you were to crash and if you would be able to survive. (2/1/2012) Immortals. When you mix the films of "300" and "Clash of the Titans" you get a movie called "Immortals." "Immortals" is a 2011 action/fantasy film that takes place in ancient Greece and is mainly about a King named Hyperion who has declared war upon humanity. (11/14/2011) Top 5 Summer Films. This summer sure was a great one and what made it so great were some of the movies that were released into theaters. Some were great blockbusters and made it big at the box office, but we I looked at the list of every film that I saw this past summer there were only five that stood out to me and why I say they were they greatest summer blockbusters of 2011. (9/22/2011) Top Bottom 2011 Summer Films. When ever summer rolls around we always think about the warm sun being out and no school for three months and my favorite, going to see some great summer blockbusters and this past summer we sure had quite a few blockbusters that were great. But then again not all were up to the level of great as some were downright terrible and a complete waste of summer air and other activities. Here are just five summer films that I saw this summer that were nothing more than a complete waste of my precious time. (10/7/2011) Fright Night Review. We have all seen at least one vampire movie in our lives with some being great and others being completely ridiculous. For I am not much of a vampire movie person, but I will tell you that no vampire movie I have seen has been more ridiculous or more empty than the recent remake of the 1985 horror movie "Fright Night." The entire film revolves around a high school student named Charlie, who has a nerd friend that believes his new neighbor is indeed a real living vampire. (9/16/2011) |
