One of the first posts I made on this blog was about my going to the “Magic Mike” premier. I didn’t love it. There were a lot of things that were very problematic, and the only bits I cared about were of Channing Tatum dancing. But “Magic Mike XXL,” well…Channing’s body and its movement are […]
Going into this film, I had the idea in my head that the magic from the first film would be impossible to capture [ever again]. And I was right. But, even though I was totally right, it doesn’t mean that this film was bad. In fact, it was great. It ended up being like, a […]
…Or as it’s better known as– “Let’s Be Psych–The F/X Edition” “Let’s Be Cops” is a buddy film that involves an odd couple of bros who are also BFFs for the last ten years or so. You have Shawn Ryan, who’s unemployed and likes to relive the glory days of his youth, goofing around, living off […]
Going into the pre-screening for this film, my expectations weren’t terribly high due to my slight ambivalence over its predecessor. I didn’t really care about any of the characters; actually wanted one or two of the main characters to just die already. This film, however, turns it all the round. It feels as if the […]

But in a good way. Fourteen years ago, I was disappointed in the first “X-Men” film, in spite of adoring the performances and portrayals of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, Sir Ian McKellen’s Magneto, and Sir Patrick Stewart’s Professor X. As the years passed on and the movies rolled out, this sense of tremendous disappointment would continue […]
Note: For those of you who don’t like to read, scroll down to check out my sixty-second movie review on YouTube. Tonight, I was able to attend a pre-screening of Tom Cruise’s latest sci-fi action film, “Edge of Tomorrow.” I was actually at San Diego Comic Con, and terribly shocked when Tom Cruise walked on […]
I saw “Godzilla” yesterday, a film I’d been looking forward to since last summer. Sadly to say, I was grossly disappointed. Here is a bullet pointed list explaining why: There wasn’t nearly enough Bryan Cranston. For a film that wanted to have monologues and focus on character, they didn’t utilize the best actor asset they […]
