Having just recently read Andy Weir’s The Martian, I was a little hesitant about the screen adaptation. While I thought the book was a fascinating look at one man’s attempt to survive impossible odds, it was extremely science-heavy and emotion-light. The closest comparison I could make was Tom Hanks’ blockbuster Castaway, which, of course, was off […]
Eli Roth’s newest film, The Green Inferno, brings back a horror genre I thought was dead and gone: cannibal films full of gore, irony, and even a little satire. Eli Roth pays homage to Rugerro Deodato’s Cannibal Holocaust. Even the title of the film is a tribute to this film – the original title for […]
Hotel Transylvania 2 is exactly what I was hoping for in a sequel. The writers kept the adorable horror puns, the cute story arc, and also added in a dash of strong adult humor and themes to the mix! Though the first one had a much stronger story arc, the sequel lived up to the […]
The Visit stars Ed Oxenbould and Olivia DeJonge, who play Tyler and Becca. Tyler and Becca are two kids who go to rural Pennsylvania in order to meet grandparents they have never seen before. Their plan is to turn the whole experience into a documentary. Their grandparents and their mother do not get along. In […]
When the original Man from U.N.C.L.E. tv show aired, from 1964-1968, the Cold War was a real thing. We were straight off of Kennedy’s showdown with Fidel Castro over Cuba; the Berlin Wall separated families and men and women were desperate enough to escape that they risked death to cross over; the exploits of spies […]
Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation Written and Directed by Christopher McQuarrie You may be wondering why a non-scifi film is being reviewed on this scifi site – it’s easy – I made up the list of movies that we choose from to review, and I wanted to review this one. And really, with all the techie gadgets […]
Ant-Man, a Not-so-Small, Hit! This review may contain spoilers: I openly admit to being very pessimistic about this film. Even though the words “Marvel can do no wrong” have been firmly drilled into my brain I still couldn’t help but have a nagging feeling about this one. I couldn’t quite pinpoint it; maybe it was […]
This started out as a straight up review of the movie Tomorrowland but as I started writing it, I ran into the same problem I had when I tried to review Jupiter Ascending a few months ago. At a certain point a movie becomes so bad that reviewing it becomes almost counter productive. It’s like yelling at a […]
Lin Shaye’s character Elise is a fan favorite in all of the Insidious films. In Insidious Chapter 3, fans get exactly what they want. They get a movie about Elise. Elise is a psychic who has the ability to contact the dead in all three films. She knows more about the other side than most […]
It boggles my mind that most people rate Tomorrowland on its merit as a film. While that might be important on a superficial level, it’s not WHY the movie was made. I thought it was perfect, though maybe (clearly) it’s not for everyone (yet). Some people will say, “Yeah, I got it,” and then get […]
