Movie Review: Space Jam: A New Legacy
A hollow center blocks attempts to offer anything more than a slightly entertaining diversion, rendering it little more than a second chapter that perhaps was never really needed in the first place.
Movie Review: Avengers: Infinity War
Avengers: Infinity War is fun and thrillingly zips through its 156-minute running time and features an ending that shows the MCU can still deliver the audience high stakes indeed. The bigger fan of the MCU you are, the more enjoyment you will take from Avengers: Infinity War, but even mild fans will enjoy the sheer scope of the film.
Movie Review: Captain America: Civil War
The 2016 summer movie season officially kicks off this year with Captain America: Civil War. When we last left Steve Rogers in Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014) he had disrupted the entire espionage world, and saved millions of lives by the way, by foiling the plot of Hydra to take over S.H.I.E.L.D. from within. Also, his oldest frenemy, Bucky/Winter Soldier, had saved his life after their fi...[Read More]
Movie Review: Avengers: Age of Ultron
The 2015 summer movie season officially kicks off with Avengers: Age of Ultron. Needless to say that the bar has been set pretty damn high here. The prior installment, The Avengers (2012), was a well-received film that also had the third highest gross in history with $1.5 billion in ticket sales. That doesn’t even count all the merchandise the film sold. When critics and fans like your work, then ...[Read More]

Movie Review: Iron Man 3
After seeing The Avengers last year, I felt bad for whatever Marvel movie had to go next because it clearly had some pretty big shoes to fill. I think they made the best decision having Robert Downey Jr. and Iron Man 3 go first because of all the actors involved with the franchise, he’s the one with the most charisma and strongest acting chops. Plus, let’s face it Tony Stark is way more interestin...[Read More]

Trailer Trashin’: Super Bowl XLVII Movie Spot Roundup!
Well, another Super Bowl has come and gone – congratulations to the Baltimore Ravens on their victory, and good job to the San Francisco 49ers, too.

Movie Review: Flight
The movie Flight is a film you should fly to see. Denzel Washington is of course, nothing less than phenomenal. The nearly 58 year old sexy and suave actor, takes you on an emotional roller coaster in which he reveals nearly all, and by all I mean just short of his entire aging body. Will fans be turned off by this? I don’t think so. If I had to sum up his performance in one word it would be, “hon...[Read More]
