With the Force Awakens coming out this week (My whole life has led up to this moment), I thought it would be a good idea to revisit the entire saga. This is a list that sums up my thoughts on every single Star Wars live action film, and puts them in order from the worst…
Last year HBO’s The Leftovers almost made the top of “My Favorite TV Shows of 2014” and this year it may just be number 1. This season was absolutely spectacular. Every episode had some sort of moment that really stood out, and a handful of episodes will go down in history as some of television’s…
Creed follows Adonis Johnson, son of legendary boxer Apollo Creed, as he convinces former World Heavyweight Champion Rocky Babloa to train him. I am a pretty big fan of the Rocky franchise. I have seen every single film, except for the fifth (we do not speak of it). The first Rocky film is easily one…
It has been a long time since I posted a review, but with all the future releases, I will be posting plenty of reviews. First things first, this film is not bad. There are aspects of it that are not done exceptionally well, but for the most part it is a perfectly serviceable film with…
I was fortunate enough to see an advance screening of this film, and I am glad I was given the opportunity because I want to make sure people see this film. Right of the bat, I want to make something clear: this is not the best film of the year. There are several flaws with…
Well, that was it. After 3 fantastic seasons, it is finally over. When I first heard that this would be Hannibal‘s final season, I was pretty upset. However, after the last episode, I would be okay if the show never gets picked up for another season or for a movie. I thought the series ended…
This review is a couple of weeks late, but I would be remiss if I had not written about it. I am not the biggest fan of “Biopics”. Often times I find them enjoyable, but they lack heart. Studios figure they can make a biographical picture and end up getting some sort of Oscar consideration.…
I have been a pretty big fan of Guy Ritchie. The first film that I saw from him was Rock N Rolla. I thought it was a really enjoyable film that lacked substance. Since then, I have noticed that Ritchie consistently brings flair to his films, but struggles with a compelling narrative. The Man From…
I have to get this off my chest, I am a big fan of the first season of True Detective. While it was a slower paced show, it was remarkably well constructed with some phenomenal performances by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. However, after the season ended I found myself forgetting about it. Even when…
I would have wanted nothing more than to tell all my friends that they need to see this film. I wish I could have given this film a 9 out of 10 and declared it the year’s best superhero film. However, this is not the case. It is with great disappointment that I declare this…
