#112 – Big Hero 6

When the Oscar nominations were announced this year I remember there being a bit of controversy over the Best Animated Feature category.  The Lego Movie was somehow excluded from the list which made no sense because of how fun and well made it was and I also thought that How To Train Your Dragon 2…

#86 – Mr Peabody & Sherman

A pretty charming, animated family film with an alright story.  Exposition is never something that goes well in a kids movie and the story is just interesting enough to keep you interested.  The voice acting is well done but I just couldn’t find a way into the story to really hook me. Recommend? I know…

#8 – Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

Get past the ridiculous title and you have a fun spy thriller that’s done well and has a tight story.  The cast equip themselves well even though I thought Kiera Knightley didn’t have much to do.  Chris Pine could easily be a Jack Ryan for a new generation of fans.  I want to nitpick the…

Tomorrowland

Hang on to your butts… There’s so much action in this trailer and I love how so much about this movie is still a mystery.  I haven’t seen a movie by Brad Bird that I haven’t liked yet and this looks like a different role for George Clooney in a pure adventure movie.  Tomorrowland looks…

#51 – Earth To Echo

I lost interest pretty quickly with this movie.  The found footage conceit is completely unneeded, the plot is over complicated for a family movie and the lead characters are incredibly annoying.  What looked like a fun, family adventure turned out to be so much less and for me, unlikeable. Recommend? I guess maybe kids would…

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

I have to wait till Christmas?! Damn there is so much awesomeness in this trailer.  Apart from the clunky title I can’t think of one reason to not be excited about Star Wars: The Force Awakens and this trailer just reinforces all of that.  Christmas can’t come soon enough!

Ant-Man

Marvel continues to take over the world, this time with a thief who can shrink to the size of an ant. I’m still just not sure about this one.  The action scenes are encouraging and I like the look of Corey Stoll’s villain but after Edgar Wright left the project over “creative differences” I think…

#39 – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)

Off the top, seriously, don’t even waste your time.  Going into this movie I had heard all of the negative reviews and that it was awful but being a fan of TMNT since I was a kid I just had to take a chance.  I kind of pride myself being able to find something positive…

#72 – Parallels

This is labeled as a movie on Netflix but I have to believe that it’s a TV pilot.  The acting feels like a SyFy channel show, there is no resolution and the overall story never even attempts to go past a single storyline.  The concept is somewhat interesting but everything else falls short. Recommend? I’d…

#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…
