I liked the first X-men, even though I found it to have quite a few flaws. The second one, while still not perfect, was a very good film with some great acting and direction. The third one was boring, had gigantic plot holes and bland direction, but I didn't despise it. I skipped Wolverine because I haven't heard anyone say the movie was good, I've heard one say it was a guilty pleasure, but that's it. So I skipped right to First Class, and I can say that this is easily the best one...[more]...

The first two Terminator films are fantastic, while the first one has some effects that have aged horribly, and the second has some gigantic plot holes, they are great, entertaining films with likable characters and well done stories. The third one, while not really that bad, is just a rehash of the second one meant to make money. And while it did have a cool ending, it just felt unnecasary. Terminator Salvation, or T4 is definently flawed, but it is an entertaining, interesting movie that doesn't just feel like a movie made for the money...[more]...

I had heard that this movie was unwatchably bad by several people. But to be fair I had heard from several other people that the movie actually wasn't that bad. So I went in with very mixed expectations, and what did I think of it? I...didn't really like it that much, I wasn't mad, I was just so uninterested...[more]...

Jame's Cameron's the Abyss is often regarded as one of his best movies. Well, I don't know about that, I certainly wouldn't call it bad, but for me, there isn't that much special about it, or much that gives it much rewatch value...[more]...

While I enjoyed the first X-men, I knew that it had room for improvment. The characters were interesting, but they needed a more interesting plot and better villian schemes in order to be great. And while X2 does have it's fair amount of problems, it's a damn good superhero movie with some great writing and direction...[more]...

Terminator 3 is the definition of a Hollywood sequel. It has absoluty no reason to exist, the only reason it was made was because the last one made a lot of money. And they decide to rehash the last movie in order to be lazy so they don't have to come up with any new ideas. So in the end, Terminator 3 is a pointless movie, but its saved by being a fun enough ride. (This will have spoilers by the way...[more]...

Alien is one of my favorite science fiction movies, so making a sequel that out does it will be very hard. And I think I'm in the minority that likes Alien a bit more than Aliens. Not to say Aliens isn't great, because it is, and in some ways it is better. But I think there was just a charm to the simple and slow buildup of the first movie...[more]...

Well after putting it off for several years I have finally decided to sit down and watch the X-Men movies. Or at least the ones that matter, so no better place to start than at the beginning with the first X-Men. How was it? Well, it had some very big flaws, but it was fun enough that I'm glad I saw it finally...[more]...

This is a review of the directors cut...[more]...

For my 200th review I've decided to look at what I consider the best B-movie ever made, Tremors. Tremors is one of the best examples of a campy mondern day monster movie. It knows exactly what it wants to be and has fun with every moment of it. I've given good ratings to movies like The Happening and Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, but those don't quite have the charm that Tremors has...[more]...

I was never one of those people that called the "Twilight" series one of the worst things ever. At worst they were mostly just boring. I was actually looking forward to this movie. Not only did the premise sound kind of cool, but I had heard from people who hate Twilight that the novel "The Host" was actually pretty good. And maybe it is, but the movie sucked ass...[more]...

The beginning with the slaves on the ship is great. The rest of the movie is just so not my thing. It is bad? Not really, it's just not for me, I was bored through most of it, didn't care about the characters, and have forgotten most of it. And that's all I have to say about that.

Whenever Steven Spielberg releases two films in a year, one of them will usually be a blockbuster simply meant to entertain, and the other will be his "oscar" movie. 1993 we had Jurassic Park and Shindler's List. 2005 had War of the Worlds and Munich, and 2011 had TinTin and this. And pretty much everytime I always prefer the blockbuster, and this is the case for here...[more]...

I liked the first Iron Man, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a little bit over rated. Iron Man 2, while flawed, I just had a lot of fun watching, and in my opinion is a little under rated. So now we have Iron Man 3, and the best way to describe it is a mix of the other two. The well done story of the first, and the funny banter of the second, with fantastic action scenes. While I'm sure some Comic book fans will hate it, I personally found it the best of the trilogy...[more]...

Oblivion is a very interesting film. In that it's both an incredibly simple story, and yet manages to be very confusing. It throws plenty of twists at you, some of them are very easy to figure out, some will really throw you for a loop. So overall I would say that Oblivion is a very good film, that just misses the mark of greatness. And while I won't be rushing out to see it again, I might need to see it a few more times just to get it...[more]...

The 1970's were just a great decade for science fiction movies. We got Star Wars, Close Encounters, and others that I'm probably forgetting. And Alien ended the decade with a bang, this is one of the creepiest, and best science fiction movie's I have ever seen...[more]...

I think Munich is one of those movie's I respect more than I liked. Not to say I disliked it, it has some great moments in it, I just didn't absolutely love it. But the movie itself is just so well made that I can't really say it's even just good, it's a great movie technically. It just doesn't have much rewatch value...[more]...

The Color Purple is one of Spielberg's best movie's, certainly one of my favorites of his "oscar type" movies. It's a great mix of drama, and comedy, allowing the film to be dramatic while not being so overly sad that it has almost no rewatch value...[more]...

Movie 43 is a sketch comedy movie tied together with one story connecting them all together. The rest of the movie is a bunch of sketches focusing on testicles, feces, boobs and other stuff that can be funny if done well, but unfortunately it isn't done well here...[more]...

I was never a Trekkie, so when this movie originally came out I had no interest in seeing it. But over the past few years I've come to really like J.J. Abrams as a director with movies like Super 8 and Mission Impossible 3. So I finally checked it out after seeing some footage for the sequel, and...it was pretty damn good...[more]...
