“Lone Survivor” Review: Ethics and Sound Design Make a Marine
Makes everyday life seem like a breeze. I didn’t think another war movie could have a new feel when it comes to sound. Lone Survivor may have lost to Gravity in every sound category, but its...

“Noah” Review: Darren Aronofsky Goes Mainstream
Darren Aronofsky creates new “Noah” mythology with Russell Crowe and Emma Watson. In every great director’s career comes some sort of creation story. Darren Aronofsky’s (Black Swan) story is told...

Black Widow. Wow… While one of my best friend’s favorite Avenger has always been Captain America (Chris Evans, The Avengers), after seeing The First Avenger I was far from sold. I recognize that it was...

“The Raid 2″ Review: Jailhouse Rock
Sundance liked “The Raid 2″… The Raid: Redemption is definitely a superior movie for a number of reasons, including its 100 minute run-time. I still do not understand why the original isn’t just called...

“Neighbors” Review: Efron and Little Franco Out Party Rogen
Efron won the “Neighbors” fight. Maybe I had too high of hopes after seeing the completely outrageous end of the world comedy from last year, This is the End, or maybe I just strongly dislike Seth...

“Guardians of the Galaxy” Review: A Little Music Never Hurt Nobody
“I Am Groot” It either takes a lot of trust that audiences want to see more and more Avengers related content in the form of multiple movies a year, or just a lot of balls to create a movie with five...

“22 Jumpstreet” Review: Why Not Make the Same Movie Twice?
Third time is also a charm? Probably a little late for a fresh review of 22 Jump Street, but it just feels right to rehash the movie since I am finally starting to catch up with reviews. I don’t know...

“A Million Ways to Die in the West” Review: 2014 Movies are Just Bad
“Ted 2″ please? Seth McFarlane (Ted) maybe you aren’t a bad actor and maybe you are a decent comedy writer. However, this doesn’t mean that scripting a generic western with allusions to classic movies...

“Nightcrawler” Review: Are You Going To Laugh Or Cringe?

“Fury” Review: “Best Job I Ever Had”
“Best Job I Ever Had” I think everyone wish they could say “best job I ever had” and then stand up to hundreds of Nazis and die with pride. Fury definitely has one of the best trailers of 2014 and...

“John Wick” Review: Really. Thank You.
Don’t mess with his dog. I have always struggled spelling Keanu Reeves’s name. Maybe its because there has not been much good to say since The Matrix and Speed, or he just has a really hard name to...

“Big Hero 6″ Review: Baymax Takes Olaf’s Place
Wonder if we will get a Baymax movie. Disney has done a very good job producing one really high quality animated film each year. While its not 2012′s Wreck-it Ralph, or 2013′s Frozen, Big Hero 6...
