Monsters University is lightweight, predictable fun kids will enjoy
That title isn’t exactly a glowing endorsement, is it? Monsters University is the prequel to Monsters, Inc. which was released in 2001. The cynic in me says that if it takes 12 years for a sequel/prequel to come out then the audience isn’t really there to support the movie. Continue reading Monsters University is lightweight, predictable fun kids will enjoy
The Man of Steel delivers on many levels-here’s why (spoiler free review!)
The Man of steel is an amazing movie on many levels. Do you treat it as a reboot, comic book movie or action movie? I like going to movies, really enjoy comic themed movies, but will honestly say when they’re disappointing (hello Iron Man 2!). With all of that in mind, The Man of Steel is great any way you treat it. Continue reading The Man of Steel delivers on many levels-here’s why (spoiler free review!)

Star Trek: Into Darkness-strong villain+classic cast=great
How to review a Star Trek movie, there are many ways, do I explore the mythos of the franchise and how the reboot treats the characters in their second outing? I could just look at Into Darkness as if it existed in a vacuum and ignore the history. It’s kind of like Christmas songs. Just because someone records a Christmas song doesn’t mean it’ll be great, even if I love Christmas. Continue reading Star Trek: Into Darkness-strong villain+classic cast=great
Watching Oblivion is not the end of the world-you’ll really like it.
End of the world and time travel movies are fascinating because, unless they’re really horrible, they look OK from one angle or the other. There is also the steampunk element that make them visually fun, when done right. Oblivion is an end the world movie that’s been compared to a live action version of WALLE. Continue reading Watching Oblivion is not the end of the world-you’ll really like it.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation review, redemption for the franchise
G.I. Joe: Retaliation was supposed to be released in the summer of 2012. It was delayed; people blamed Channing Tatum, the competition it was up against or the filming of the 3D. G.I Joe: Retaliation is fast cutting action that seems like a cousin to the action films of the late 80’s. There are some laugh out loud funny one liners; the plot moves fast, there are dozens of ninjas, The Rock and Bruce Willis. Continue reading G.I. Joe: Retaliation review, redemption for the franchise
