If I were ever to have a short review, it would be for this film. There simply is not much to say about it. It is not a terrible film, but it is not that great either. It’s like you’re going to the zoo, except you’re in the cage. Shark films are notoriously bad. The…
One of the only books I remember reading as a kid was Captain Underpants. I started reading them in first grade, and began writing my own comic books detailing the ongoing adventures of Captain Underpants. Now he has his very first movie, and how is it? It is actually a delightful film that was both…
I apologize ahead of time because this may be more of a rant rather than a review. When I saw the trailer for this film I thought it looked “Okay”, but was thoroughly interested because I really like Colin Trevorrow’s first film, Safety Not Guaranteed. This may be a weird connection, but watching the trailer…
Initially I wanted to see this film because it was getting some great reviews. A24 is the studio that is behind this film, and lately they have been producing some of my favorite films: Moonlight, Swiss Army Man, and Ex Machina are just some of their films. Because of this, I opted not to watch…
I do not understand why people thought this film would be good. After seeing all of the trailers I only thought that this film could potentially be fun and enjoyable. However, this film is not that. It has some moments and good ideas, but the execution is poorly done. A New World of Gods and…
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…
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,…
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…
