I very quickly read Divergent, the first installment of Veronica Roth’s book series in early 2013. I grabbed the next book, Insurgent, and that one was exciting and interesting as well. But when the third book, Allegiant, came out, it just didn’t do much for me. At that point, the movies had started. Divergent was good. […]
I am not a professional film critic by any means, but I do know what I like, versus what I don’t. When I read the synopsis of Spaceship (shown yesterday at SXSW), I thought the idea, and concept behind the movie was interesting, but it fell very short of what it could have been. What […]
One of the reasons I will always love movies as a concept is that, no matter how many you’ve seen, they can still surprise you if you let them. You go into a movie thinking you’ve got it’s number from start to finish, and yeah, you devoted cynics, you probably do, generally. But once in […]
Deadpool has always been one of those characters that I’ve enjoyed, but never paid too much attention to. I knew his story but wouldn’t consider myself an expert on him by any means. Cue my boyfriend, biggest Deadpool freak I’ve ever known, he knows all there is to know about him and has been waiting […]
“Around the world packs of wild dogs roam freely, killing at will. Now they have developed a taste for new prey …” So begins The Pack, a disappointing entry in the Nature Gone Wild sub-genre of horror cinema. As is typical with movies of this type, some manner of critter which previously left humanity alone […]
If you enjoy reading “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austin, then I highly recommend you go see “Pride + Prejudice + Zombies.” Yes, I know that we hate when our beloved books are corrupted by modern storylines, but there are some redeeming qualities to this movie that make it worth the price of admission. I’m […]
The 5th Wave directed by J Blakeson music by Henry Jackman Whether they stay faithful to the original book, or keep merely a framework of a story, movies adapted from books are frequently not as good. Some, like Ender’s Game, make significant changes and still come up with a solid film; others, like last weekend’s […]
Let me start out by saying that like so many people, I’ve been a huge Star Wars fan since I was a kid. I absolutely love the original three films – I can (and will) watch them over and over and over. Now, the prequels… well. There were parts of those films that were good, […]
Krampus Review- Be Careful What You Wish For: I will be the first to admit that I was a bit skeptical of how Krampus would turn out. Horror and comedy are an unlikely mix, at least on purpose that is (I usually find a lot of so-called horror movies comedic), so Krampus proudly announcing itself […]
Spectre Directed by Sam Mendes Written by John Logan Music by Thomas Newman Stunning locales, amazing stunts, beautiful (and smart!) women – Spectre, the newest film in the 007 franchise, has all the traditional Bond hallmarks. Daniel Craig’s fourth – and please don’t let it be his last – outing as Bond is definitely worth […]
