#103 – Wolf Cop

This movie is crazy, sometimes that hurts the film more than helps it, but overall I liked it.  A movie that tried to be more gonzo than actually focusing on the story and the characters but there’s also a sense of fun and wackiness that you can’t help but get behind.  So much less of…

#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…

#26 – American Sniper

There are some really great things about American Sniper and some incredibly tense moments that are so well crafted that I really wish that much care would’ve been given to the overall story.  Clint Eastwood’s examination of American hero Chris Kyle seems to be less concerned with who he is and more concerned about his…

Into The Grizzly Maze

Man, how cheesy does this thing look? I really can’t imagine this being anything more than a second rate action movie with decent suspense and several moments that make you roll your eyes.  The thing here though is that I felt the same way about the Liam Neeson survival film The Grey when I saw that trailer…

Crimson Peak

Well welcome back Guillermo del Toro! I’m really interested to see how big budget horror will work with Del Toro at the helm.  Aside from a few creepy ghost scenes this movie is all going to come down to the mood and the atmosphere.  The trailer seems to be going more for action and thrills…

#105 – Noah

Man, this movie is all over the place.  Overall I’d have to say I liked it but this is a film that I can just imagine has a longer Director’s Cut that makes more sense with more room to grow the story.  As it is, it’s basically just a mash up of original bible story,…

#16 – The Rover

I am such a big fan of post-apocalyptic films so I went in expecting to like this one, especially starring Guy Pearce.  He’s all fury and there’s a sense of chaos and dread that hangs over every shot of this film.  Robert Pattinson is excellent and Scoot McNairy gives another solid supporting performance. David Michod…

#117 – Avengers: Age Of Ultron

Rest easy, if anyone had any reservations about Avengers: Age Of Ultron and whether it lives up to the hype or the expectations, it definitely does.  If there’s one thing that Joss Whedon can do, it’s spectacle and this movie brings it in spades.  There’s so much to unpack from a blockbuster like this and…
