Mr. Peabody and Sherman Review

When I first saw the trailer for Mr. Peabody and Sherman, I thought it looked exclusively for children. After watching the film, I have to say that I was partially right. Most of the jokes were directed towards children, but there were a handful of jokes that were directed towards adults. There were 3 jokes…

Non-Stop Review

I have been a fan of Liam Neeson long before he began doing all these action films. I really enjoyed Taken, but thought his other actions films were a bit lackluster. Non-Stop definitely benefits from Liam Neeson’s inclusion, but he does not save the movie. First of all, the premise is engaging. It’s basically a…

The Lego Movie Review

This is the best movie (so far) of 2014. I am very surprised it came out in February, but I am glad it did. I keep hearing about the horrible movies that have been released thus far in 2014, and it is refreshing to hear that a film is fantastic. The film has all the…

Inside Llewyn Davis Review

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…

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Review

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…

Her Review

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…

You’re Next Review

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…

The Wolf of Wall Street Review

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…

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty Review

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…

Saving Mr. Banks Review

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…
