‘The Fault In Our Stars’ (2014) Review
The Fault In Our Stars (2014) Review Romance is a tricky thing to portray in cinema. Simply because, everyone has their own idea of love, relationships, and intimacy. Just recently it was revealed to me that most of my colleagues are of the opinion that one should not enter into a
‘How To Train Your Dragon 2’ (2014) Review
How To Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) Review I sat down recently with some friends of mine, and by friends of mine I mean the two ladies on the other side of the pharmacy whose conversation I was listening in on (I don’t have any real friends). They were trying
‘Godzilla’ (2014) Review
Godzilla (2014) Review The creature feature has come a long way in movie history. What once was depicted using a man in a rubber suit and a couple of cardboard boxes with windows on them, has now been revolutionized to truly embrace a scale which warrants the terrifying theme these
‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ (2014) Review
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) Review Almost a decade ago, Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer did what many thought to be impossible. Batman, a character rooted in Gothic sensibilities, had his best film outings include: a man with literal flippers and a beak, who called himself the penguin,
‘Frozen’ (2013) Review
Frozen (2013) Review Musicals are horrible. They’re full of characters that break out into catchy songs that are juxtaposed with sometimes intense and complex feelings.

‘Thor: The Dark World’ (2013) Review
Thor: The Dark World (2013) Review: MCU Misstep Let’s face it, sequels by and large are a gamble. More often than not they struggle to find the balance between continuing the development of the characters from the original while constructing a story worthy of a minimum 90 minutes. Characters usually
‘Elysium’ (2013) Review
Elysium (2013) Review One of the most important rules of story telling is “show, don’t tell”. Essentially, what it means is that, instead of explaining the importance of something to the viewer, the story teller needs to simply show it as it is and trust that the viewer is invested
‘Pacific Rim’ (2013) Review
Pacific Rim (2013) Review Every time I decide to write a review, it’s done the night of me seeing the film. This is why my posts usually go up during the weekend at around midnight. I find it best to write my thoughts about a film after the thoughts are
‘World War Z’ (2013) Review
World War Z (2013) Review Zombies. Zombies are a staple of horror cinema. They’re one of the only movie monsters to stand the test of time and still hold a profit. Sure Twilight technically has vampires in it as well as werewolves but the quality of those films aside, the
‘Man of Steel’ (2013) Review
Man of Steel (2013) Review Recently it was announced that Walt Disney acquired the rights to produce and distribute ‘Star Wars’ films from Lucasfilm and had planned to begin production of said films for a 2015 release date. I remember thinking at the time that I could not think of
