I think I finally got hit with that Marvel/superhero fatigue everyone was talking about after “Age of Ultron.” “Captain America: Civil War” is the 13th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the final installment of the Captain America trilogy. Chris Evans returns as the titular stars-and-stripes hero and Robert Downey Jr. reprises his role… Continue reading ‘Civil War’ Fun and Colorful but Overstuffed Superhero Romp
Well that was the slowest 113 minutes of my life. “Criminal” stars Kevin Costner as a convict who has the memories of a dead CIA agent (Ryan Reynolds) placed in his brain in order to find the location of a hacker with nuclear codes. Gary Oldman, Tommy Lee Jones and Gal Gadot also star as… Continue reading ‘Criminal’ Traps A-list Cast in Snoozefest Thriller
There are many problems facing movie theaters nowadays. Sean Parker has proposed the “Screening Room,” a $150 box that would allow people to see new-run movies in their home for $50 each. Some big names (J.J. Abrams, Steven Spielberg) have gotten behind it, while others (James Cameron, Christopher Nolan) have condemned it.

Still… Continue reading ‘Batman v Superman’ Spoiler Talk
This movie sat unreleased for four years. After watching it, it’s painfully obvious why. “Get a Job” follows several recent college grads and one middle-aged man as they venture out into the world of unemployment and interviews. That’s really the best I can do giving a plot summary for this film, the thing is an… Continue reading ‘Get a Job’ Wastes Amazing Cast
My childhood wasn’t ruined, so I guess in the grand scheme of things I can mark this down as a W. “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” is the sequel to “Man of Steel” and the first time the titular heroes have shared a movie screen.

Let’s try something new. Instead of a normally constructed review, I’m going to list all the thoughts that came to my mind while watching “The Perfect Match.” The plot follows a career womanizer (Terrence J) who in order to win a bet with his friends (Donald Faison and Robert Christopher Riley), he must date one… Continue reading Everything I Thought While Watching ‘The Perfect Match’
