Edge of Tomorrow Review

I loved the first trailer for this film. There was something about it that told me it would be good. The soundtrack was haunting, the visuals looked stunning, and the plot looked very interesting. I was careful not to watch too much footage prior to seeing the film, but I quickly realized that it would…

Maleficent Review (Spoilers)

Growing up, I was not a huge Sleeping Beauty fanatic. I know many people really enjoyed the film, but I had no interest to see it. When I saw the teaser for Maleficent, I thought Angelina Jolie looked incredible. However, I was careful not to get too excited. It was too reminiscent of Oz: The…

X-Men: Days of Future Past Review

This is the king of the summer movies (thus far). As soon as the credits began rolling, I knew that I will watch this movie again. It is among the best of the X-Men films (arguably the best), and gets almost everything right. From it’s complex characters, to intense action sequences, the film is quite…

Godzilla Review

I have never been a huge Godzilla fanatic, but this reboot had my attention. It looked amazing, and had a solid cast. Sadly, I was not particularly taken by the film. I thought it was good fun, with some standout moments, but it ultimately did not live up to my expectations. The Plot Well, here…

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Review

The Amazing Spider-Man was one of my favorite films of 2012. I enjoyed it even more than The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises. Don’t get me wrong, they are fantastic films, but I have and always will be a Spider-Man Fanatic. I’ve been keeping a close eye on the production of this sequel, and…

Neighbors Review

I was not too impressed by the trailers for the film. I thought there were some funny moments, but it looked like a conventional comedy. My university held an advance screening for it, so I thought it would be a good idea to check it out. While I found the film to be okay,I was…

Draft Day Review

I was not particularly excited to see Draft Day. I am not a big football fan at all, and this looked like a typical sports film. My friend is a huge football fanatic, so I went to watch with it him. I am happy to say, that I enjoyed this film. While it is riddled…

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Review

I have not been too pleased with the Phase 2 Marvel films. I thought Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 were both ok, but not great. They had story lines that did not particularly engage me, the villains were weak, and I was not completely satisfied with the films. This is not the case with…

Need for Speed Review

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…

Robocop Review

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…
