I went to the movie theater five times in the month of June. I neglected to see the most recent addition to the Transformers franchise and The Mummy.  Mostly because the former looked both ridiculous and terrible and the latter just looked plain terrible.  No regrets. Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie is based on a cherished book series from my childhood. Was it as amazing … [Read more…]
I made a total of six treks to my local cinema in the month of May. All in all, not the best month. Nothing thoroughly impressed me. On top of that, a film disappointed me and another was trash. Not gonna take long to get to those two, so let’s begin. How to Be a … [Read more…]
I went into Wonder Woman with a sense of hopeful skepticism. Â Unfortunately there’s been a plethora of recreational outrage articles and think pieces trying to divide us along lines of race, gender, and fandom. Â Women-only showings, movie’s not feminist enough, Gail is or isn’t a person of color, you name it and the chimps will … [Read more…]
I realize I’m a month late, but I have a good reason. I got my Switch at the start of April. And I’m a huge Zelda fan. Understandable? Yes. I went to the theaters eight times in the month of March where I saw one movie again. April only gave me four theater trips. MARCH: … [Read more…]
Before our brave western bloggers and social media activists went all Matt Damon to protect our poor Asian brethren from the whitewashing of Danny Rand they asked a more important question; was casting Scarlett Johansson in Ghost in the Shell racist? Â It seems pretty cut and dry right? Â The story is set in Japan. Â The … [Read more…]
Been a busy few weeks, folks. Sorry about the delay. Six trips to the theater in the month of February, although I only saw four new movies. There were several movies I had a small interest in seeing I decided not to bother with. Two of which came out the weekend after Valentine’s Day. … [Read more…]
I have wanted movie mutants to go back to Marvel since 2008’s Iron Man. Â Partly it was my idea, at the time, that all the Marvel characters should be together. Â It was also because Iron Man showed that you could make a superhero movie, that looked like a superhero comic, and people would love it. … [Read more…]
I’ve decided to do all 20 films in one big article because this has taken far too long already. SPOILERS AHEAD! Before I start off the countdown, time for the honorable mentions. In no particular order: The BFG, The Accountant, Deepwater Horizon, Hidden Figures, Fences, Hands of Stone, Storks, Don’t Think Twice, Eddie the Eagle, … [Read more…]
Y’all thought this was gonna be the start of my top 20 films of 2016 list, but I ran out of time to finish that before February started. It’ll be nearly three weekends into February by the time even this goes out. I hope to be done with the entire top 20 before the end … [Read more…]
This took me time to do. Sorry about that folks. Haven’t had much free time in the last few weeks. 2016 was a good year, all told. As long as you weren’t a known personality or celebrity fifty years or older. Since I didn’t know any of those people personally, their deaths didn’t really affect … [Read more…]
