Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Review

The original Planet of the Apes film is remarkable piece of science fiction cinema. I did not think the sequels reached the heights of the original, but 2011’s reboot came quite close. I really enjoyed it, and the same goes for this film. I do not think that either surpass the original, but they are…

22 Jump Street Review

I am a big fan of 21 Jump Street. I distinctly remember seeing it in theaters and having a great time. It was one of my best movie theater experiences. I was not too thrilled when they announced a sequel, but the trailers had me convinced that they would do a good job. After seeing…

How to Train Your Dragon 2 Review

This has been a pretty good year for animated films. While there have been a few misfires here and there, the majority were pretty good. I did not see the first Dragon film, but I heard many good things about it, so I decided to watch it before this one. I thought it was good,…

Fargo Review (SPOILERS!)

I only saw the film last year, but I instantly fell in love with it. It was well acted, darkly comic, and very memorable. I saw the teasers for the Fargo television series, and thought it looked just the same. Now that the series has ended, I have to say that it is every bit…

Game of Thrones Season 4 Review

There has never been a bad episode of Game of Thrones. While an episode may not be as good as another, I have enjoyed all episodes. This season was no exception. I enjoyed every episode, but some were fantastic, and others were merely good. It is not bad to say that an episode is good,…

The Fault In Our Stars Review

I was looking forward to this film. I only watched one trailer, and carefully avoided any more footage. I wanted to go into this film as fresh as possible, and I am pleased to say that I enjoyed it. I think it is good, but not great. It definitely has flaws, but its considerable charm…

Orange is the New Black Season 2 Review

The highest form of praise I can give the show is that I watched all 13 episodes in three days. The show is extremely addicting, even more so than the first season. I thought the first season was really great. I loved the characters, and was extremely invested in the plot. The second season definitely…

A Million Ways to Die in the West Review

I actually thought Ted was a pretty good movie. It was consistently funny, and even had some heart. I like movies set during the Wild West, so I was fairly excited for his newest movie. I am sad to say that the film is quite the disappointment. It is too long, it is not funny…

Edge of Tomorrow Review

I loved the first trailer for this film. There was something about it that told me it would be good. The soundtrack was haunting, the visuals looked stunning, and the plot looked very interesting. I was careful not to watch too much footage prior to seeing the film, but I quickly realized that it would…

Maleficent Review (Spoilers)

Growing up, I was not a huge Sleeping Beauty fanatic. I know many people really enjoyed the film, but I had no interest to see it. When I saw the teaser for Maleficent, I thought Angelina Jolie looked incredible. However, I was careful not to get too excited. It was too reminiscent of Oz: The…
