The fun continues and the new live-action version of "How to Train Your Dragon" proves to be every bit and entertaining as its animated predecessor.
Movie Review: Fighting with My Family
I should probably come clean right away. I am not a fan of the WWE. I know next to nothing about it, have only seen clips of matches, and could name only Dwayne Johnson, Hulk Hogan, and John Cena as actual WWE wrestlers off the top of my head. It’s not that I dislike the WWE or its fans, it’s just that I never got into the phenomenon and it just never seemed like it was for me. So, it was a surpri...[Read More]
Movie Review: The Huntsman: Winter’s War
It’s easy to forget about 2012’s Snow White and the Huntsman. Even though the film went on to gross nearly $400 million worldwide and was moderately received, it got lost in the shuffle of other huge blockbusters like The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, The Hunger Games, and Skyfall. It was just not very memorable, and although the announcement of a sequel from Universal was not very surprising, ...[Read More]

Movie Review: The World’s End
I am a huge fan of Edgar Wright, the English director who helmed Shaun of the Dead (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007), and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010). Wright is responsible for some of my favorite comedies, and he is a director whose work I will always support. Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are the first two parts of a thematic trilogy; one not connected by characters or narrative, but instead by sh...[Read More]

Movie Review: The Adventures of Tintin
I did not love this movie, but it was okay. The Adventures of Tintin is a boring movie. I felt like I had seen the same story before, just with different characters trying to find something else. This movie is about a boy named Tintin who bought a model ship. Then his model ship got stolen and he looks for clues with his dog Snowy, who is always helping him out. They get into a crazy adventure bec...[Read More]
