V/H/S: Viral (2014)

I love horror movies. It’s as simple as that. For me, there are fewer feelings I relish in more than being safely scared at home. I just wish it was easier to be scared. Let me rephrase that. I wish it was easier to find good horror without trudging through things like V/H/S: Viral. (more…)

American Sniper (2014)

There has been a lot of buzz around the movie American Sniper lately. The exploits of Chris Kyle have gone under extreme scrutiny from all kinds of media outlets for a lot of different reasons. It seems as though people have a serious problem with a lot of his claims. But you know what? The movie was bad, but not because of Chris Kyle. (more…)

Trailer: Fantastic Four (2015) Sick of comic book movies? Too bad. Marvel and DC are going to be shoving them down your throat for the next fives years.

About Time (2013)

I’m not one generally for platitudes. “Live. Laugh. Love.” drives me insane and “With great power comes great responsibility” ought to stay in comic books. The latter, I thought, seemed to be the theme for About Time. I’m very, very glad I was wrong. (more…)

World's Greatest Dad (2009)

World’s Greatest Dad (2009)

With the passing of Robin Williams this week, I thought it’d only be appropriate to talk about one of his movies. I wanted to write about a movie that wasn’t as discussed as things like Hook or Patch Adams or Good Will Hunting. I found World’s Greatest Dad, directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, on Netflix and had heard very little about it. Watching it was a bittersweet idea. (more…)

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

I think it’s safe to say that Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has been highly anticipated. Perhaps that’s an understatement. This thing is huge. (more…)

The Lifeguard (2013)

Tone is something that I think we might take for granted in movies. Tone is important. It more or less tells us how to feel about the story being presented. Think of some of your favorites and then change the tone of the story and tell me that it’s the same. What if Star Wars was a serious crime investigation into the kidnap of royalty? What if There Will Be Blood was a comedic look in to a…

Trailer: The Hunger Games: The Mocking Jay Pt. 1

Take this however you want. I haven’t watched Catching Fire. Mostly because I thought the first movie was total trash. But maybe I’ll catch up and join everyone else.

Trailer: Punk's Dead

Trailer: Punk’s Dead

So, this came out last week. I just… every time I watch this thing, I wish it were better. I think, “Maybe I’ll pick something up that I didn’t notice before.” Nope. I just feel uncomfortable and slightly embarrassed.

Let’s just hope that the feature is better than this “teaser.”

You Hear That Mr. Anderson?

You Hear That Mr. Anderson?

Well, it has been some time, hasn’t it?

Having come off of my first gig in television (working on this season of American Ninja Warrior), I’m now looking for the next gig. That means that I have a lot of time on my hands currently. Which is good for you and me.

A lot has changed in the past few months. And after finding some new confidence in these reviews, I’d like to pick them back up. Look for…
