#32 – We Could Be King

High school football in Philadelphia is a good backdrop to tell a story.  The story is very compelling but at times I thought it tried to do too many things.  At it’s core though these kids and these coaches striving for excellence is really something to watch. Recommend? I liked it just enough, so sure.

Avengers Assemble! My favorite roles by our Avengers heroes

Undoubtedly the biggest movie of the Summer, Avengers: Age Of Ultron, is going to roar into theaters May 1st and everyone else is going to be fighting for second place.  I remember sitting in the theater for The Avengers and getting goosebumps when we finally see every one of our heroes standing together in the…

#36 – Coherence

Coherence plays out like a puzzle.  I had a lot of fun trying to keep up with the trippy premise and attempting to connect the dots.  Solid acting helps the story along and I thought it was paced really well.  I’d definitely go back a second time and maybe see if clues are given to…

#99 – Capturing The Friedmans

Andrew Jarecki has recently come onto everyone’s radar because of his fascinating 6 part documentary series on HBO, The Jinx, which followed the eccentric Robert Durst in Serial type examination of Durst and his alleged crimes that ultimately ended in…well, if you don’t know just go watch it or read the front page of almost…

Terminator: Genisys

Why?  Just why? Oh right, money that’s why.  This movie just look silly and I feel sad that the Terminator franchise has become almost a parody of itself with self aware snickers at lines of dialogue made famous by previous and better movies and a reason to involve Arnold Schwarzenegger again.  Oh, and they spelled…

#1 – I, Frankenstein

The first movie I picked for this project had just come out on Netflix and though it looked pretty cheesy I saw that the producers of Underworld were behind it, it had a very good cast and I went for it.  I, Frankenstein is without a doubt one of the worst movies I have ever…

True Detective Season 2

You better believe I’m posting this!  The first season of True Detective was something to behold.  There was a level of excellence on all fronts that made it one of the best things I watched period in 2014. Not much is given away here which I’m completely fine with.  All the principal cast which includes…

#78 – The Two Faces Of January

An alright crime thriller that does a decent job of keeping the story unpredictable while allowing the actors to play off of each other.  The movie gets better as it goes along and wraps up nicely.  It’s worth a viewing to see Oscar Isaac and Viggo Mortensen who continue to work at a stellar level.…

#71 – The Conspiracy

I’m usually not a big mockumentary fan but I liked this movie.  The subject is really interesting despite very little believability and it was put together really well. Recommend? Sure.

#82 – Space Station 76

Ever wanted to see a movie set in the 1970’s on a space station with thinly written characters and a story where absolutely nothing happens?  Well if so then this is your movie, enjoy it. Recommend? No way.
