The Martian

I am all in on this one from the subject to the terrific cast. I kind of view this as Interstellar focusing on the most interesting part of that film.  Let’s see if this interests you: Matt Damon and Ridley Scott in space…here’s my money now.

Vacation

I’m rooting for this one because of everyone involved but… The trailer looks funny enough but just in principle I’m against this whole trend of dredging up every already done property simply to make money.  It worked for the 21 Jump Street franchise but how many have failed?  Chris Hemsworth looks to be hilarious but…

#147 – Crazy Love

Meh, an alright story of what the title promises which is a crazy love affair.  Both people are interesting enough and the stories they express raise an eyebrow or two but overall I thought it was somewhat lackluster both in the way it was told and the subject itself. Recommend? I mean, I guess.  Have…

#145 – The Purge: Anarchy

I cannot explain why I like these Purge movies so much.  The first I thought was original but came apart at the end and this one is more of an action film than a horror piece and I gotta say that while there are parts I just rolled my eyes at, overall I like this…

#149 – Paddington

Charming is the one word that comes to mind when thinking about Paddington.  I was bowled over by how much this movie made me laugh and smile.  There’s a pretty predictable story at its core but the performances around it and a great villain turn by Nicole Kidman were all surprising as well as how…

#156 – Unfinished Business

Okay folks, this one isn’t going to go good and believe me that I’m going to be fighting the urge to use expletives over and over in this review of undoubtedly one of the worst and unfunny movies that I’ve ever seen. The fact that this movie is even labeled a “comedy” is an insult…

#46 – Kingsman: The Secret Service

When I first saw Kingsman: The Secret Service in theaters I wasn’t really sure what I saw.  What I did know was that I completely enjoyed myself and wanted to see it again.  Now on my third viewing I can honestly say that I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a movie like it and…

#152 – Journey 2: The Mysterious Island

You will never get me to say a bad word about The Rock because that guy is all kinds of awesome.  He’s by the far the best thing about this movie because everything else is just ridiculous.  Josh Hutcherson and Vanessa Hudgens are just bad and even the great Luis Guzman is reduced to horrible…

#138 – Against The Sun

A harrowing true story tale of survival against all odds.  I can’t attest to the factual nature of the story but what is on film is truly dramatic to watch.  The acting in this film is the real standout as Garret Dillahunt, Tom Felton and Jake Able are so strong and show how the men…

#146 – Extraterrestrial

A horror movie that was just alright enough when I watched it to keep my interest but now writing about it weeks later I hardly remember a thing about it.  No memorable scares or characters and I guess that’s the most damning thing about the movie. Recommend? I would just so then you can tell…
