As 2015 comes to a close, I realize that next year is quite an exciting year for films. I could have easily made a top 20 list instead of a top 10 list, but I want to narrow down the list to the films that I absolutely cannot wait for. Without further ado, here is…
Creed follows Adonis Johnson, son of legendary boxer Apollo Creed, as he convinces former World Heavyweight Champion Rocky Babloa to train him. I am a pretty big fan of the Rocky franchise. I have seen every single film, except for the fifth (we do not speak of it). The first Rocky film is easily one…
It has been a long time since I posted a review, but with all the future releases, I will be posting plenty of reviews. First things first, this film is not bad. There are aspects of it that are not done exceptionally well, but for the most part it is a perfectly serviceable film with…
I was fortunate enough to see an advance screening of this film, and I am glad I was given the opportunity because I want to make sure people see this film. Right of the bat, I want to make something clear: this is not the best film of the year. There are several flaws with…
This review is a couple of weeks late, but I would be remiss if I had not written about it. I am not the biggest fan of “Biopics”. Often times I find them enjoyable, but they lack heart. Studios figure they can make a biographical picture and end up getting some sort of Oscar consideration.…
I have been a pretty big fan of Guy Ritchie. The first film that I saw from him was Rock N Rolla. I thought it was a really enjoyable film that lacked substance. Since then, I have noticed that Ritchie consistently brings flair to his films, but struggles with a compelling narrative. The Man From…
To my everlasting shame, I have never seen the first three Mission Impossible films. I have seen the fourth film, and thought it was excellent. I thought this film looked pretty good, and found myself very excited to watch Tom Cruise pull off impossible stunts that I could never pull off in a million years.…
Before I get into the review of the actual film, I do want to explain about how I first heard of it. About 2 years ago, in my freshman film class, we were given a stack of screenplays. Our assignment was to choose one, read it, and finally assign a cast a crew to the…
I myself have never been a die-hard terminator fan. I like the first two a lot, think the third one isn’t very good, and the fourth one is utter garbage. When this film was announced I was not too excited, and even thought it looked pretty bad. I saw very negative reviews pouring out and…
It has been a while since Pixar has made a film that I truly loved. Ever since Toy Story 3, I feel as though the company went a little downhill. They reached rock bottom with Cars 2, and both Brave and Monster’s University (while good) were not among their best films. However, I am so…
