Man of Steel

reviewed on June 15th, 2013 05:09PM

MoS was awesome!!! So much fun. It had the typical attitude of a Nolan film with a few bursts of small comedy to lighten the mood. Great casting all around. I've been singing Cavill's praises for many years now and I'm so happy to see him finally ...

Star Trek Into Darkness

reviewed on May 20th, 2013 10:13AM

As a film this was great: funny dialogue, amazing action scenes and straight up beautiful. As a Star Trek film it staggered a bit. I can see why some people are upset in their claims of it being uninspired or redundant or other things that I won't...

Iron Man 3

reviewed on May 5th, 2013 09:16PM

(SPOILER-FREE) I still like the 1st best but I had a lot of fun with this one. It was grander in scope which sometimes works for it and sometimes against it but it's a great end to the trilogy. And very funny. Pros - Very funny and great writi...

Spring Breakers

This was a surprisingly good movie although very hard to explain. The director clearly knew what they were doing and it had great cinematography and use of music. The performances were really good too except for the pink haired chick was just OK. ...

Dark Shadows

I know nothint about the original show so I can't compare. This is pure Tim Burton: creepy characters, interesting color schemes, and awesome Elfman music. It had a solid cast with the exception of Mortez who was awful and made me cringe whenever ...

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

A pleasant surprise. It wasn't as sad as I was expecting. Knightley is adorable and Carrel was fantastic and they had great chemistry. Good film.

The Amazing Spider-Man

I enjoyed this film, I think it's a great reboot for Spider-Man. I liked all of the casting decisions; thought they were spot-on. Garfield and Stone are both great actors and (obviously) had great chemistry together. I liked Garfield way better th...

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

The Raven

This movie had an interesting concept that didn't really work. Alice Eve was gorgeous and did a fantastic American accent. Luke Evan is also super attractive. Cusack was terrible actually. The story was choppy with too many "ah-ha!" moments. Not t...

Friends With Kids

This one is kind of a slow burn at first but it kept my attention and towards the end sort of on the edge of my seat. I know a lot of people on here don't like Orlando (which is fine but I do so please respect that) but I thought he was solid in t...

Last Night

I was expecting to be bored with this but not at all, it really drew me in. Mendes was good and although she was supposed to be the "sexy one" it was Keira who mesmerized me every time she was on screen. She is not only beautiful but extremely tal...

Snow White and the Huntsman

reviewed on November 23rd, 2012 10:37PM

The Barrens

reviewed on October 25th, 2012 07:03PM

The movie wasn't really what I was expecting. I've seen much worse but it did disappoint me a bit. That's all I really have to say about it. Also, no one calls them "The Barrens". 6.5/10

Hysteria

reviewed on September 20th, 2012 12:46PM

This movie is sort of two different parts. 1 part is how they invent the vibrator and why (which is hilarious and silly and awesome) and the other part is a romantic subplot with undercurrents of feminism and classism etc (which isn't bad, just ty...

Red Riding Hood

The Runaways

This movie kind of sucked. It tried so hard and was very obvious. The script was bad and there were parts of the film where I got second-hand embarrassment. I don't know much about Cherie or Joan or their real life personalities so I can't say any...

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

reviewed on September 8th, 2012 12:42PM

The plot could be a tad bit confusing and unlinear at times, but it was clear that this movie was made to be a visionary masterpiece rather than a perfect story, and that it was. It was a very beautiful movie filled with beautiful people. It al...

The Moth Diaries

I loved the casting of this film, I'm a huge Sarah Bolger fan and she did a great job at playing an ambiguous character. Lily Cole was the perfect choice for Ernessa. The movie was very short and could have benefited from being longer so as to ...

The Dark Knight Rises

Brave

reviewed on June 24th, 2012 11:03PM

(NO SPOILERS) This movie went beyond my expectations. It was truly magical. The animation was Pixar's best to date IMO and the scenery was stunning. The Scottish setting was very realistic and true but not so much where non-Scots couldn't relate. ...

A Dangerous Method

reviewed on June 20th, 2012 10:33AM

This movie wasn't quite as good as I'd hoped it would be. Pros- The acting was great! Keira was very believable in all stages of her character's development. I can't say anything about her Russian accent since I don't know what it's supposed to...

My Week with Marilyn

Young Adult

reviewed on May 13th, 2012 03:05PM

If you read the plot description, that's about all there is to this movie. That and another main character, played by Patton Oswalt, whose interaction with Theron's character was possibly the best part of the movie. I'm not usually into these char...

The Help

reviewed on April 12th, 2012 07:31PM

This movie was really great. Every performance was phenomenal. Chastain deserved her nomination and Spencer deserved her win. Viola Davis should have won for this. I cried a little, not gonna lie.

The Thing

reviewed on April 8th, 2012 09:38PM

I love MEW and Joel so it was nice having them in the same movie. Obviously it can't hold up to the original but it wasn't nearly as bad as some people made it out to be. I enjoyed watching it.

Cowboys & Aliens

This movie was pretty fun. It was exactly what I expected it to be. Cowboys vs aliens. And some Native Americans joined in on the fight too. No surprises here.

21 Jump Street

reviewed on March 24th, 2012 10:27PM

I don't really have anything bad to say about this film. I laughed the whole time and it didn't cross the line into too crass like some comedies do. Tatum was great so everyone can stfu about him now. I would not be opposed to a sequel.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

This one was better than the 2nd and 3rd but not as good as the first. It had a very distinct "been-there-done-that" feel to it. Maybe if they had released this as the first sequel, I would have liked it better, but I guess I'm just tired of the s...

Drive Angry

reviewed on December 6th, 2011 10:44AM

This movie takes place in some alternate universe in which women still want to have sex with Nicolas Cage. To sum it up: Cage has bad hair, but didn't annoy me as much as he usually does. Amber Heard is the hottest thing on the planet. Willia...

My Soul to Take
