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…
I like King Kong films. I’ve only seen a few but they’ve always entertained me quite a bit. I especially enjoy Peter Jackson’s rendition of the overgrown gorilla. It might have been an hour too long, but I found the characters quite good and never really found myself being bored. With the recent success of…
Before you begin reading this review please stop if you have not yet had a chance to watch Logan. Last chance, walk away because I cannot review this properly without spoiling pretty much everything. Still here? Okay, so first of all: this is a really good film. It is Wolverine’s best stand-alone film and one…
What a great weekend for films. John Wick is back along with Batman (in lego form). I plan on seeing The Lego Batman Movie, but when choosing between the two the choice was easy. I had a blast with the first John Wick film, but over time I grew to really love it. Originally I…
Here is the big one. There are still plenty of films that I am looking forward to seeing before the year has come to a close, but nothing beats the excitement before a new Star Wars film. This is the first spin-off film and I have to say it is pretty good. It is not…
People have begun asking me: “What is the best film of 2016?”. I have not seen every single film that has come out and have much catching up to do before making a definitive answer, but as of right now, Moonlight is most certainly in the running. I ain’t see you in like, a decade……
If you ask me who is the best working director today, Dennis Villeneuve will be in the discussion. I have seen Prisoners, Enemy, Sicario, and now Arrival. Each of these films are in my humble opinion quite fantastic with Arrival quite possibly being his finest film to date. Now that’s a proper introduction. I am…
I absolutely loved the Harry Potter franchise so I was expectedly excited for Fantastic beasts and Where to Find Them. None of the trailers particularly impressed me, but I hoped it would be on-par with the rest of the films set in the Wizarding world. Unfortunately, this film is not fantastic but it still remains…
I have not been posting nearly as much as I should, but with finals out of the way I will be posting many new reviews and various other articles. Now, on with the review: Say what you will about Mel Gibson, but he is a fine director. I have only seen a handful of his…
