With the oscar season closing in, I wanted to watch all the contenders. While this was not nominated for best picture, it was for cinematography. After watching this film, I think it is one of the best of 2013. It should have been nominated for best picture, as it was one of the best films…
The trend with most January films is that they are not very good. Most studios push out their worst films during this early month in the new year. Jack Ryan breaks this trend. While it is not the best film, it was still a good time at the movie theater. The action was quick and…
This film is number 8 on my most anticipated list of 2014. Needless to say, I had high hopes for it. I heard an overwhelming amount of praise prior to seeing this film, but I was careful not to allow it to cloud my judgment. The last thing I wanted was to allow my anticipation…
Last night was the first time I saw You’re Next, and I was not completely sure what to expect. From the previews it looked like a run of the mill horror film, but I heard some good things about it. I was pleasantly surprised with it. While it is not a flawless film, it is…
Wow, I need to catch my breath. This season of Sherlock was unbelievably excellent. The show went on a two year hiatus, and it was definitely worth the wait. I thoroughly enjoyed every single episode, and cannot wait until the next season. The first episode answered many questions regarding last seasons’ cliffhanger. For the most…

This film had a fantastic trailer. It had me instantly hooked, and I could not wait until I saw the film. I was following the production of this film, and I heard how it almost got an NC-17 rating, and how it was delayed because of it’s length. It had many problems up to its…
In March 2011, I stumbled upon a very weird television show. It was called Doctor Who, and it was unlike anything I have ever seen. I found a short 11 minutes preview, and was instantly hooked. What hooked me in was mainly the character, and the performance by Matt Smith. I had never heard of…
I remember when I first saw the trailer for Walter Mitty. I thought it was a fantastic trailer, and I think it is the best trailer of the year. It said so much without an ounce of dialogue. I was immediately hooked, but the critics seemed to think differently. Walter Mitty was not getting the…
I don’t remember much about Mary Poppins, but I remember that it wasn’t my favorite Disney film. I was very young when I saw it, and I probably couldn’t appreciate it. I watched this film because I am always interested in how films are made, and because the performances looked fantastic. I left this film…
