‘Ricki and The Flash’ (2015) Review
Ricki And The Flash (2015) Review: Rockin’ Past Closing Time Ever since chief Brody blew up Bruce the shark and Luke exploded the Death Star, the summer has been reserved for the less thoughtful productions. This is the time of year where Optimus Prime and company typically mull about with
‘Southpaw’ (2015) Review
Southpaw (2015) Review: Fall, Box, Grow, Repeat The sports movie is truly special. There is no other genre of cinema that has prospered despite having changed mostly nothing in the decades it’s been around. The plot points are predictable, the characters are paint by numbers, and you can even pinpoint
‘Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation’ (2015) Review
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015) Review The Mission Impossible franchise has always had something to prove. The first film was an action movie based on a television series from 30 years prior, striving to find it’s own footing amidst an established mythology. The second was a follow-up to what was a surprise hit and
‘Ant-Man’ (2015) Review
Ant-Man (2015) Review As much of an avid follower of all things superhuman, even I had to admit, ‘Ant-Man’ was an uphill battle excitement-wise. Starting production 9 years ago, ‘Ant-Man’ initially garnered the excitement of fans of ‘Shaun of the Dead’ director, Edgar Wright who was attached to direct the
‘Inside Out’ (2015) Review
Inside Out (2015) Review Let’s retrace the steps for the day. Woke up out of bed for work Disgust. Had to feed the dog and he got dirt on my pants Anger. But then he licked my face as I was brushing it off Joy. I got into the car and thought about how
‘Pitch Perfect 2’ (2015) Review
Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) Review Why do we even bother any more? Seriously, why do we bother with comedy sequels? Of all the trash Hollywood has pushed down the throats of the movie going public, comedy sequels are probably the absolute worst. They are notoriously difficult to pull off and
‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ (2015) Review
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) Review It seems as though there’s always some form of impending doom on earth. The sea levels will rise, we’ll run out of water, the dead may rise again. Whatever news you follow, you can always find something to be extremely paranoid about. Something out there
‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ (2015) Review
Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015) Review In the months leading up to the release of ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ the anticipation for the sequel was far less skeptical than the original. How could a movie that purported to balance six different characters from films that, while in the superhero genre, were said to
‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ (2015) Review
Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014) Review My first Bond movie was ‘Casino Royale’. I had heard of the legend of James Bond and the spy genre was one that I was familiar with even though I’d never seen a spy movie myself. Films like the Incredibles, the Austin Powers franchise
‘The Wedding Ringer’ (2015) Review
The Wedding Ringer (2015) Review Romantic comedies are probably one of the most laughed at genres of film out there. The high brow critics will tell you time and time again of their many tropes. Their characters are shallow, their stories are unbelievable and more than anything else, everyone in
