This is the first 2016 release that I have seen, and by god the year is off to a good start. Deadpool is the sixth film on my most anticipated list, and I could easily see it making my top 10 list of the year. Even with its minor flaws, this film never fails to…
Yes, yes, this post is very late. I wanted to see The Revenant before making this list in hopes of it landing a spot in the top 10. Did it? Read on to find out, but before listing honorable mentions, I do want to reflect a little on the past year in films. Many may…
The point of a trailer for a film is to entice audience to go and see that film. When I saw the trailer for Spotlight I thought that it would be a bland journalistic film, and boy was I wrong. While it may not be a perfect film, it certainly comes close and ranks as…
2015 had many great seasons of television shows. I would even argue this is one of the strongest years of television in recent history. Very few shows fell flat for me. In fact, there were so many great shows that I have a couple of honorable mentions. Before I delve into my list, keep in…
Whenever someone asks me who is my favorite director, Tarantino is a name that always comes to mind. He is not my favorite, Stanley Kubrick has that pleasure, but Tarantino is certainly up there (for me at least). I think all his films are great, and The Hateful Eight is no exception. It has a…
The most important information I can give you regarding The Big Short is that you will most likely leave the theater a little bit confused.

The most frustrating part of Fargo’s second season is that it is almost magnificent. Do not get me wrong, this is a fantastic season of a fantastic show, but it has one major problem. However, focusing on the positives, there are so many to choose from. I do not know where to start. I could…
Simply put, this is one of the greatest seasons of Doctor Who I have ever seen (I’ve seen series 1-9). The review would have been up earlier, but I did not want to finalize my review before seeing this years Christmas Special, which was very enjoyable. While the Christmas Special was lighthearted, the actual season…
As 2015 comes to a close, I realize that next year is quite an exciting year for films. I could have easily made a top 20 list instead of a top 10 list, but I want to narrow down the list to the films that I absolutely cannot wait for. Without further ado, here is…
Well, the biggest film of 2015 has now come and gone. I have had my tickets for the past 2 months, and I have been waiting for this film for a long, long time. The big question on everyone’s mind is: does it live up to the hype? It does, and it does not. Overall,…
