While the review is late, here is my take on the premiere of Gotham. First of all, I thought this show looked ridiculous. I was not a fan of the premise, and the trailer did not help. I went into the premiere with relatively low expectations and to my surprise, it was not all bad.…
This has been a fantastic year for television. Many great new shows were introduced, and existing shows had superior new seasons. Of all the new shows, The Leftovers is by far my favorite. It is expertly crafted, with superior acting, beautiful music, and fantastic characters. We Are Living Reminders When I first heard about this…
A few weeks late, but here’s my review of Book 3. First of all, I am a huge fan of the Last Airbender series. It had beautiful animation, compelling characters, and a fantastic plot. I feel the same about The Legend of Korra. However, for some reason it did not resonate as much with me…
This is possibly my last film review for the summer, and it is ending on a really low note. I grew up with the Ninja Turtles, and even watch the new show on Nickelodeon. I think the animated shows are mostly great, and I even enjoyed the films (although I have not seen the third…
I first heard about this film in March. The concept of filming someone for 12 years was fantastic, and the trailer led me to believe that this would be an unbelievable film. Unfortunately for a few weeks the film was only released in limited theaters. There has been a lot of hype building up from…
I am a HUGE Marvel fan. I think they have been doing a great job with connecting their films. However, I did not think their phase II films were as good as phase I. I thought both Iron Man 3, and Thor 2 were merely okay. They were nothing particularly special, while Captain America 2…
I was not excited at all for Lucy. When the first trailer was released a lot of people treated it as a really big deal. I was not too impressed, and thought it looked far too ridiculous. However, after some semi-positive reviews, I decided to give it a shot. While the film is flawed in…
I thought the premise of The Purge was fantastic. However, the film was not. Its biggest drawback was that it took place in a house. There was a whole world out there that was much more interesting. I was not overly excited for the sequel, but I knew it was going to be better because…
I absolutely love low budget films. They often surpass the quality of blockbusters because of their intimate nature and how powerful they could be for such a cheap production. Begin Again is definitely a good movie, but has many obstacles preventing it from achieving greatness. Full of Charm This film is simply a delight to…
I was avoiding this film, but my friends wanted to see it and I tagged along. I enjoy all types of genres, but I feel like the horror genre is getting progressively worse. Many of them use cheap scares and are riddled with plenty of horror clichès. Deliver Us From Evil is one of the…
