When the first season of The Leftovers began I was instantly hooked. I was fascinated by the characters, as well as, the world that the show establishes. The second season of the show exceeded all my expectations based on the first, which was not an easy feat. Going into this third season I was both…
If you ask me, the DC Extended Universe has only had one major misstep, which is Suicide Squad. I like Man of Steel quite a bit, and Batman V Superman is not all that bad (the extended cut is actually pretty good). However, each of those films are rather polarizing. Some people seem to like…
I consider myself a fairly big fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Despite what most people may think about the second and third films, I enjoy them quite a bit. There are flaws for sure, but there is a lot of fun to be had with some fantastic moments. I recently watched the…
During my Senior year of High School I wrote film and television reviews for our newspaper, and my first review for television was the first episode of Arrow. This is a show I used to love, but lately I have been let down by it. Both season three and season four have been very good.…
I was fortunate enough to see an advance screening of Baby Driver, which is Edgar Wright’s newest film. The trailers for the film were fast and fun, so I went into it expecting to be thoroughly entertained with some of Edgar Wright’s flare sprinkled throughout. While I did have a great time with this film,…
Part of this review may be a rant (Okay, most of it is a rant) because this is a show that has so much potential to be amazing and it keeps letting me down. The first season was so “great”, the second season was “good”, but this season is more “okay”. Due to some questionable…
When the first Guardians of the Galaxy film was released I found myself fairly underwhelmed. I enjoyed the film quite a bit, but I could not bear to praise it as much as other people. The villain is forgettable, the acting is uninspired, and the plot itself is fairly generic. I enjoyed the film so…
I was not planning on seeing this, but after all the critical acclaim it has gotten I would be remiss if I did not check it out. When I first saw the trailer I was not a fan at all. Not of the content, but more so of how it was put together. The editing…
I know for most people my age, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast was a staple of their childhood. I was more of a Mulan person myself, so I did not go into this film having a deep connection from my childhood. However, I did quite enjoy the animated film so I was curious to see…
There is going to be a common trend with these next couple of reviews: I did not like the trailers for any of these. Some of them may have surprised me, while others did not, keep reading to find out. I quite enjoyed The Lego Movie, but when they announced a Batman-centric spinoff I was…
