Alas, one year ends and another begins. While I still have some films to catch up on, I wanted to post my favorites of the year. These are films that I think are well made, and I personally really enjoyed watching them. If you have not seen some of these films, I strongly encourage you…
Well, it is finally over. I remember seeing the first teaser for the very first time, and feeling overwhelmed. I loved the original Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and while The Hobbit Trilogy is not nearly as good, it does have some great moments. I see reviews on this final installment somewhat mixed, and I…
This film was one of my most anticipated for the year. I love Christopher Nolan, and while I do no think he is a perfect director, he never fails to create an enjoyable piece of cinema. I decided to watch only the first trailer, and nothing more. I did not want to know too much…
If I chose one word to describe my experience after this film, it would be: disturbed. This film reaffirms that Jake Gyllenhaal is one of Hollywoods’ best working actors today. Not only that, but this is director Dan Gilroy’s first film. I find that extremely impressive, and cannot help but wonder where he will go…
There is one word that can perfectly describe this film: Fun. This is the most fun I have had in the theater in a long time. This film may not be a fantastic piece of cinema, but it is a fantastic action flick. I honestly had very low expectations going into this film, but it…
I would say that this is one of the better war films since Saving Private Ryan. In some ways, I like this film more than Saving Private Ryan just because it offers a different perspective on war. This is a film that had a very sound plot, but a somewhat disappointing third act. War, War…
David Fincher is one of the best working directors in Hollywood right now. I cannot think of a movie of his that I did not like. He continually creates great films that offer a nice blend of entertainment and compelling cinema. Gone Girl is no exception, while I do not think it is my favorite…
I can not help but feel sad when reviewing the first episode of the final season of Korra. The series, as a whole, has been fantastic. Now with this final season, I see just how much the characters have grown, and how much these past three seasons have impacted them. Everything is Connected What I…
I am very glad with the direction of live action superhero television shows.The CW’s Arrow is a fantastic show, let alone superhero show, and the Flash is their newest contribution to the genre. While it does not share Arrow’s darkness, it is off to a good start. Superhero Origins The show has a few missteps…
I have always been a huge Star Wars fan. Even the prequels, while not that great, have value to my life. I really enjoyed Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It was a really well done show, with some beautiful animations. I was very upset when the show was cancelled, but it ended on a very…
