Guardians of the Galaxy Review

I am a HUGE Marvel fan. I think they have been doing a great job with connecting their films. However, I did not think their phase II films were as good as phase I. I thought both Iron Man 3, and Thor 2 were merely okay. They were nothing particularly special, while Captain America 2…

Lucy Review

I was not excited at all for Lucy. When the first trailer was released a lot of people treated it as a really big deal. I was not too impressed, and thought it looked far too ridiculous. However, after some semi-positive reviews, I decided to give it a shot. While the film is flawed in…

The Purge: Anarchy Review

I thought the premise of The Purge was fantastic. However, the film was not. Its biggest drawback was that it took place in a house. There was a whole world out there that was much more interesting. I was not overly excited for the sequel, but I knew it was going to be better because…

Begin Again Review

I absolutely love low budget films. They often surpass the quality of blockbusters because of their intimate nature and how powerful they could be for such a cheap production. Begin Again is definitely a good movie, but has many obstacles preventing it from achieving greatness. Full of Charm This film is simply a delight to…

Deliver Us From Evil Review

I was avoiding this film, but my friends wanted to see it and I tagged along. I enjoy all types of genres, but I feel like the horror genre is getting progressively worse. Many of them use cheap scares and are riddled with plenty of horror clichès. Deliver Us From Evil is one of the…

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,…

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…

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…
