Although he's best known for playing Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor on the hit ABC '90s series "Home Improvement," Tim Allen has also had a successful film career. With the highly anticipated "Toy Story 4" being released this week, I look at my five personal favorite Tim Allen films.
**THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS**
#5
Galaxy Quest
In this classic comedy, Tim Allen plays a television show actor of a once-famous sci-fi show that's recruited by real space aliens to save them from a real evil alien race, thinking that he (and his co-stars) are really heroes. The result is non-stop laughs delivered by Allen as well as Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shaloub, and Sam Rockwell.
#4
The Santa Clause
In this modern Christmas classic, Tim Allen plays a divorced father who accidentally kills someone resembling Santa Claus, and then puts on the suit and becomes the new Santa - whether he likes it or not. He has a year to prepare for the biggest night of the year, and through it all he learns important lessons about himself and the true meaning of the holiday. As usual, Tim Allen delivers a superior comedic performance in this beloved Christmas story (even if the subsequent sequels aren't as fantastic).
#3
Toy Story 2
Making his return as the lovable, iconic Buzz Lightyear, Tim Allen lends his voice to this Pixar gem as he mounts a ragtag mission to rescue Woody after he is taken by a collector. Family-friendly hilarity ensues, which only helps to make this one of the most successful and beloved film franchises in history.
#2
Toy Story
"To infinity, and beyond!" Tim Allen creates the iconic Buzz Lightyear in Pixar's classic "Toy Story," a film that revolutionized animated films forever. Allen plays Buzz, a child's plaything who thinks he's actually a heroic astronaut, and as he comes to terms with who he really is, finds the family he never knew he needed.
#1
Toy Story 3
It's a very rare thing when the third film in a franchise turns out to be the best, but that's exactly what "Toy Story 3" managed to do. Completing a trilogy that spanned the lifetimes of millions of kids who started the journey with the original, "Toy Story 3" served as the most elegant conclusion that spanned the timespan of a child's growing up years to college. Tim Allen returns as Buzz Lightyear, as he joins his fellow toys in escaping a nightmarish daycare center and returning to Andy before he leaves for college.
Major Theatrical Releases May 2019 After the hype that is "Avengers: Endgame," May offers a massive collection of differing types of movies, enough to entertain everyone. Here are the major theatrical releases for May 2019. **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS** **DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE** The Intruder May 3 Dennis Quaid goes from starring the family-friendly "A Dog's Journey" to playing a total psycho in "The Intruder." When a young couple purchases a home from Quaid's character Charlie, they didn't realize it came with an addition - Charlie himself, who can't seem to let his old home go. I don't expect any twists or turns in this tale, and this looks like a film better fit for Lifetime than the big screen. Long Shot May 3 Charlize Theron stars as Charlotte Field, the current Secretary of State and who's running for President. Seth Rogen stars as Fred Flarsky, a
Major Theatrical Releases May 2016 May is the start of summer, which means warmer weather, no school, more sunshine, and of course, MAJOR BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES! The beginning of summer opens with some extremely strong outings which will shape the remaining months to come, and if these movies are any indication, it's going to be a great summer at the movies! That being said, here is the list of films being released nationally for the month of May, 2016. MAY 6 Captain America: Civil War Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie Directed by Anthony Russo & Joe Russo Synopsis (imdb.com): Political interference in the Avengers' activities causes a rift between former allies Captain America and Iron Man. Thoughts: Forget "Batman v. Superman," THIS is the match-up we've all been dying to see! Based off the highly popular comic series, "Civil War" pits Earth's Mightiest Heroes against one anot
The Living Dead Starring Jessica Jane-Stanford, Paul Danan, Aurie 'Styla' Green, Hakan Hassan Directed by Fredi Nwaka What I appreciate the most about horror cinema is the fact that its the easiest genre for an up-and-coming director to direct, and provide a unique vision that's set apart from different genres - in horror, you can make anything if you set your mind to it. Horror can also blend different genres within itself, producing horror/drama, horror/action, and even horror/comedy, which is the route taken by first-time director Fredi Nwaka's "The Living Dead" (also known in the U.K. as "Are We Dead Yet?") - it's not just a horror film, but also blends action and comedy and produces a worthwhile whole. Madison (Jessica Jane-Stanford), Barry (Aurie 'Styla' Green), Gavin (Paul Danan), Alan (Hakan Hassan) and Parksey (Bradley Turner) are a group of robbers who, after their getaway car breaks down, find themselves in front of a towering
