I would say that this is one of the better war films since Saving Private Ryan. In some ways, I like this film more than Saving Private Ryan just because it offers a different perspective on war. This is a film that had a very sound plot, but a somewhat disappointing third act. War, War…
David Fincher is one of the best working directors in Hollywood right now. I cannot think of a movie of his that I did not like. He continually creates great films that offer a nice blend of entertainment and compelling cinema. Gone Girl is no exception, while I do not think it is my favorite…
I can not help but feel sad when reviewing the first episode of the final season of Korra. The series, as a whole, has been fantastic. Now with this final season, I see just how much the characters have grown, and how much these past three seasons have impacted them. Everything is Connected What I…
I am very glad with the direction of live action superhero television shows.The CW’s Arrow is a fantastic show, let alone superhero show, and the Flash is their newest contribution to the genre. While it does not share Arrow’s darkness, it is off to a good start. Superhero Origins The show has a few missteps…
I have always been a huge Star Wars fan. Even the prequels, while not that great, have value to my life. I really enjoyed Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It was a really well done show, with some beautiful animations. I was very upset when the show was cancelled, but it ended on a very…
While the review is late, here is my take on the premiere of Gotham. First of all, I thought this show looked ridiculous. I was not a fan of the premise, and the trailer did not help. I went into the premiere with relatively low expectations and to my surprise, it was not all bad.…
This has been a fantastic year for television. Many great new shows were introduced, and existing shows had superior new seasons. Of all the new shows, The Leftovers is by far my favorite. It is expertly crafted, with superior acting, beautiful music, and fantastic characters. We Are Living Reminders When I first heard about this…
A few weeks late, but here’s my review of Book 3. First of all, I am a huge fan of the Last Airbender series. It had beautiful animation, compelling characters, and a fantastic plot. I feel the same about The Legend of Korra. However, for some reason it did not resonate as much with me…
This is possibly my last film review for the summer, and it is ending on a really low note. I grew up with the Ninja Turtles, and even watch the new show on Nickelodeon. I think the animated shows are mostly great, and I even enjoyed the films (although I have not seen the third…
I first heard about this film in March. The concept of filming someone for 12 years was fantastic, and the trailer led me to believe that this would be an unbelievable film. Unfortunately for a few weeks the film was only released in limited theaters. There has been a lot of hype building up from…
