The BBC recently posted their Top 10 films of the 21st century (so far), which prompted critics all over the Internet to do the same. And because I like to be like the cool kids, I’m following suit. So here are my top ten films of the first 16 years of the 2000s, and it… Continue reading Best Films of 21st Century (so far)
Well, June is over and that means we are halfway done with 2016 (yes, I figured that out all on my own!). Anyways, there hasn’t been too many *great* films so far this year, unfortunately we are seeing more and more studios holding gems until later in the year as part of award season, but… Continue reading 2016 Films: Halfway Report
Hahahahahahahahahah… [exhales] ok. Let’s do this. “Independence Day: Resurgence” is the sequel to 1996’s “Independence Day,” a film that exploded in popularity and has come to define pretty much everything about 90s action films and the summer blockbuster in general. The plot of this movie is: the aliens come back. That’s truly all that is… Continue reading ‘Independence Day: Resurgence’ Is Laughably Atrocious
And so, the summer of the sequels we didn’t really ask for continues. “Finding Dory” is the sequel to the 2003 film “Finding Nemo” and follows the forgetful fish Dory (voiced by Ellen DeGeneres) as she searches for her long lost family. Albert Brooks, Hayden Rolence and Ed O’Neill also star as Andrew Stanton directs.… Continue reading ‘Finding Dory’ Familiar but Fun Family Adventure
Trying to decide if this movie is “Twins 2” or “Ride Along 3”… “Central Intelligence” stars Dwayne Johnson as a former high school outcast who grows up to join the CIA and gets in contact with the coolest kid from his class (Kevin Hart) to help him on a mission. Amy Ryan also stars as… Continue reading ‘Central Intelligence’ Entertaining but Tad Underwhelming
Everyone has heard of “Warcraft” (both the game and the film) but if you live in America you may have not cared to see it (in your defense, the trailers and negative reviews probably didn’t help entice you). However if you live anywhere else on this big, blue globe, namely China, you flocked to this… Continue reading ‘Warcraft’ at the Box Office: What it Means
Hate “Game of Thrones” for having developed characters? “Lord of the Rings” too exciting? Well they have made the movie for you! “Warcraft” is the adaption of the video game series of the same name, and features many of the same characters and locations. In the film, humans must protect their world from an invading… Continue reading ‘Warcraft’ Loud, Tedious Fan Service
Well, it’s like the old saying goes: “some pointless 2016 sequels will be ‘Neighbors 2,’ but most will be ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass.’” “Now You See Me 2” is the sequel to the surprise 2013 hit, “Now You See Me” (they missed a golden opportunity by not calling this “Now You Don’t”). Jesse Eisenberg,… Continue reading More Tricks, Less Logic in ‘Now You See Me 2’
If I were a betting man, and if box office receipts are any indication, I would say by now you’ve seen “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Captain America: Civil War.” But did you notice that you pretty much watched the same movie twice? Both films had been announced more than two years ago… Continue reading Why ‘Batman v Superman’ and ‘Civil War’ Are the Same Movie
I hope one of the songs from this film gets an Oscar nomination, if not just so I can ironically say “Academy Award nominee Andy Samberg” for the rest of my life. “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping” is a mockumentary following Conner4Real (Samberg), a Justin Bieber-esque popstar who must cling onto fame after his latest… Continue reading ‘Popstar’ Is the Best Comedy of 2016
