WARNING! Spoilers Ahead: First and foremost, I am a big fan of the series. I absolutely love the characters, and think the show is often very clever. However, I do think the last couple of season were a bit lackluster. The show has overstayed its’ welcome, but I had high hopes for the finale. Even…
WARNING MILD SPOILERS:When I first stumbled upon this show, I did not know what to expect. I knew it was a show produced by HBO, and it starred two great actors: Matthew Mcconaughey and Woody Harrelson. The plot was barely revealed through the promotion for the show, so when I saw the first episode it…
I was a big fan of the original 300 film. While it was style over substance, I had a lot of fun with it. I did not think the sequel would be any good, but I was wrong. I really enjoyed 300: Rise of an Empire. The action is fast, and the effects are cool,…
I cannot recall a video game adaptation that I thought was particularly good. I have not seen too many of them, but I thought at best they were fun. Need for Speed falls within the same category. While I do think there were fun parts, it ultimately suffers from poor direction, a bad script, and…
First of all, I have never seen the original Robocop film, so there will be no comparisons in this review. While I did have alot of fun with this film, it did suffer from several problems. The plot is not very engaging, but the robot/human conflict is. I thought the film raised some very interesting…
When I first saw the trailer for Mr. Peabody and Sherman, I thought it looked exclusively for children. After watching the film, I have to say that I was partially right. Most of the jokes were directed towards children, but there were a handful of jokes that were directed towards adults. There were 3 jokes…
I have been a fan of Liam Neeson long before he began doing all these action films. I really enjoyed Taken, but thought his other actions films were a bit lackluster. Non-Stop definitely benefits from Liam Neeson’s inclusion, but he does not save the movie. First of all, the premise is engaging. It’s basically a…
Below is a list of my predictions for the Oscars 2014. I will list the films that I think will most likely win, and the films that I think should win. I will only include categories that contain films that I have seen. Best Picture Most likely will win: 12 Years a Slave I think…
I love that Netflix releases all the seasons’ episodes at once. I cannot imagine waiting another week to view another episode of House of Cards. I loved the first season, but I thought it ended on a whimper. I thought this second season was still really good, but had several problems. First of all, the…
This is the best movie (so far) of 2014. I am very surprised it came out in February, but I am glad it did. I keep hearing about the horrible movies that have been released thus far in 2014, and it is refreshing to hear that a film is fantastic. The film has all the…
