“The Revenant” Movie Review

Yesterday, I was able to see a pre-screening of the film “The Revenant,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Domhall Gleeson, and Will Poulter. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this.  If you told me, “Hey–want to see a film where DiCaprio doesn’t speak much, is mostly alone, and spends a good deal crawling […]

“TRUMBO” Movie Review

Every once in awhile, I’ll see a film or read a story or book that touches me in a special way and provides motivation to be better.  “Trumbo” is this year’s inspiration. I didn’t know much, well, anything about Dalton Trumbo.  In fact, with a career that spanned nearly half a century (with some work […]

Let’s Be Cops

…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 […]

The Purge: Anarchy

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 […]

Maleficent and the Power of Pure Love

Yes, pure love, and not true love. Note: Very mild spoilers. Admittedly, I am a HUGE Angelina fan, but I did in fact go into this film as an impartial viewer.  If it had sucked, I would be honest and say that it did, but it did not. Let’s start with the audience–lots of children and […]

“Edge of Tomorrow” Movie Review

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 […]

Diary of a Fangirl: River’s Edge

Damn, this film was all kinds of messed up. “River’s Edge” is a film about a high school student by the name of John, who strangles his girlfriend Jamie todeath.  He disrobes her, (and maybe even more than that), and then proceeds to show off her lifeless body down by the river to his friends–maybe […]

Diary of a Fangirl: Stand By Me

I just watched “Stand By Me” for the first time ever a few days ago. I liked the film, but the ending just…well at first I thought it sucked.  Gordie/the Writer talks about how his friend Chris, who looked out for him and was wanting a way out of the life he was in and […]
