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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
I only saw the film last year, but I instantly fell in love with it. It was well acted, darkly comic, and very memorable. I saw the teasers for the Fargo television series, and thought it looked just the same. Now that the series has ended, I have to say that it is every bit…
There has never been a bad episode of Game of Thrones. While an episode may not be as good as another, I have enjoyed all episodes. This season was no exception. I enjoyed every episode, but some were fantastic, and others were merely good. It is not bad to say that an episode is good,…
