I cannot be the only person who is a bit disappointed with this year’s Comic Con. I am sure that the people who were in attendance were not disappointed, but for those of us at home there was not much to behold. Sure, we got a couple of new trailers, but nothing new was announced,…
I grew up on Harry Potter, as I feel many people my age have. I would be lying if the Harry Potter films did not have a profound impact on my own attitude, hairstyle, or wardrobe. As the characters evolved so did I. I felt like I was part of Harry and his crew, and…
Every year, the best and brightest in Hollywood meet in a room to be awarded for their contributions to cinema. The only problem is that I do not think the best and brightest get nominated for an Academy Award. Are good films nominated for an Oscar? Yes, but they are just that. Good. I want…
There is one word that can perfectly describe this film: Fun. This is the most fun I have had in the theater in a long time. This film may not be a fantastic piece of cinema, but it is a fantastic action flick. I honestly had very low expectations going into this film, but it…
This is possibly my last film review for the summer, and it is ending on a really low note. I grew up with the Ninja Turtles, and even watch the new show on Nickelodeon. I think the animated shows are mostly great, and I even enjoyed the films (although I have not seen the third…
I am a HUGE Marvel fan. I think they have been doing a great job with connecting their films. However, I did not think their phase II films were as good as phase I. I thought both Iron Man 3, and Thor 2 were merely okay. They were nothing particularly special, while Captain America 2…
I absolutely love low budget films. They often surpass the quality of blockbusters because of their intimate nature and how powerful they could be for such a cheap production. Begin Again is definitely a good movie, but has many obstacles preventing it from achieving greatness. Full of Charm This film is simply a delight to…
I have not been too pleased with the Phase 2 Marvel films. I thought Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 were both ok, but not great. They had story lines that did not particularly engage me, the villains were weak, and I was not completely satisfied with the films. This is not the case with…
I cannot recall a video game adaptation that I thought was particularly good. I have not seen too many of them, but I thought at best they were fun. Need for Speed falls within the same category. While I do think there were fun parts, it ultimately suffers from poor direction, a bad script, and…
This is the list of my own most anticipated movies of 2014. I will probably review these movies, so it’ll be interesting to see how my anticipation and review compare. I’ll start with #10 and work backwards. 10. Edge of Tomorrow The trailer for this film surprised me. It looks really cool. I don’t know…
