#171 – Catastrophe: Season 1

Amazon Original Series are one outlet that I’ve just never gotten into whether it be the critically acclaimed Transparent or the interesting looking Bosch, but being a big fan of Twitter darling Rob Delaney I decided to give the romantic comedy Catastrophe a look and I’m so glad that I did because it quickly became…

#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…

#155 – Inside Out

Disney’s Pixar studio has this uncanny ability that I think we all need to address and it comes two fold.  Each time they put out an original film it 1) Always separates me from the money in my wallet and 2) Always reduces me to a blubbering mess.  Would Inside Out break that streak for…

#148 – Jurassic World

First off, any comparisons to the fabulous and ground-breaking Jurassic Park just need to stop right now.  I guess they’re inevitable but at the same time the original film was something we’d never seen before while working off of the traditional horror movie template.  The feeling of awe upon seeing that first shot of dinosaurs…

#150 – Spy

Spy is a movie that should be celebrated more but sadly will have a brief moment to shine before being bowled over by bigger Summer blockbusters.  The spy genre has been an easy target lately with several spoofs and send up films but few have had the great mix of parody and reverence as well…

#63 – House Of Cards Season 3

This is probably my favorite season of the political drama that established Netflix as a real player in the original entertainment game.  Every season of House Of Cards has it’s flaws and this season is no exception, but overall I found myself liking this season much better than the last and I felt its high…

#131 – Mad Max: Fury Road

Allow me to pick my jaw up off the floor.  It’s hard to explain Mad Max: Fury Road because I can’t remember an experience like it.  It’s an action masterpiece that pummels you from the start and allows you moments of levity that hit so much harder because of how seldom they come.  I’m a…

#29 – Blue Ruin

Originality can be such an inspiring thing and when you see it, it’s so exciting.  Blue Ruin is one of the most original stories I’ve seen in recent years and knowing nothing going in really made it an even more enriching experience.  My advice to you is to stop reading and just go watch it…
