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…
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…
Below is a list of my predictions for the Oscars 2014. I will list the films that I think will most likely win, and the films that I think should win. I will only include categories that contain films that I have seen. Best Picture Most likely will win: 12 Years a Slave I think…
I love that Netflix releases all the seasons’ episodes at once. I cannot imagine waiting another week to view another episode of House of Cards. I loved the first season, but I thought it ended on a whimper. I thought this second season was still really good, but had several problems. First of all, the…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Wow, I need to catch my breath. This season of Sherlock was unbelievably excellent. The show went on a two year hiatus, and it was definitely worth the wait. I thoroughly enjoyed every single episode, and cannot wait until the next season. The first episode answered many questions regarding last seasons’ cliffhanger. For the most…
