Beauty and the Beast (2017) – A Movie Review
I know we’re super late to this party, but we literally just watched this for the first time last night. I’ve been after my daughters for months to view it with me, but they were hesitant. They were concerned the Beast would be too scary, the wolves too vicious. Well, within minutes, they were completely…

Justice League – A Movie Review (Spoiler-Free)
I attended Justice League on Thursday night at 10:00 p.m. As you may remember, I felt very excited and had very high hopes. With great relief, I report to you that Justice League exceeded my expectations. First of all, I will freely admit that I am incredibly bias. I love these characters. I’ve been reading…

All In With Justice League
Tomorrow night the moment finally arrives. The Justice League debuts. I have literally loved these characters since the age of three. I loved Super Friends, I loved the subsequent Super Powers, I loved all of the Batman, Superman, and Aquaman cartoons in-between. I’ve followed their comic book stories from the Detroit era to the Bwa-ha-ha…

Thor: Ragnarok – A Movie Review
I love the first Thor, but the sequel—The Dark World—left me unimpressed. In fact, if it hadn’t been for the loveable cast of The Dark World, I’d like it even less. There’s a lot to be said for having Natalie Portman, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Kat Dennings, Idris Elba, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, and Stellan…

The Dark Tower – A Movie Review
I very much love The Dark Tower series. I believe when it is all said and done, these books will be remembered as Stephen King’s masterpiece–his magnum opus. We have long wished for Roland of Gilead to grace the big screen, but time after time we were burdened with disappointment as it simply never seemed…

Spider-Man: Homecoming – A Movie Review
I have to be honest, even though I thought Tom Holland’s Spider-Man proved one of the best parts of Civil War, I did not feel excited about yet another reboot of his own movie series. I absolutely did not want to sit through poor Uncle Ben getting killed yet again, Pete getting bitten by a…

Alien: Covenant – A Movie Review
I wouldn’t consider myself a huge fan of the Alien franchise, but I definitely have fond memories of Aliens scaring the crap out of me as a kid. Honestly, believe it or not, Prometheus is what got me really excited for the revitalized Alien saga. Prometheus seemed innovative, smart, and full of ramifications for not…

King Arthur: Legend Of the Sword – A Movie Review
If you’re fan of either Guy Ritchie or King Arthur, I think you’ll be very pleased with King Arthur: Legend Of the Sword. Fresh and visually captivating, you haven’t ever seen this King Arthur before. This is an ass-kickin’ King Arthur who grew up rough on the streets in a house of ill repute. He…

Guardians Of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 – A Movie Review
I’ll be honest and admit that when Guardians Of the Galaxy came around back in 2014, I wasn’t all that into it. I didn’t even make it to the theater for a viewing. Truthfully, even when it came out on video, I didn’t think it was all that great. Funny? Sure. Different from any other…

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them – A Movie Review
After somehow missing it in the theaters, I’m happy to announce I finally got around to watching Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. First of all, I’d like to say that I’m really glad they are continuing to build the Harry Potter universe. It’s a rich universe ripe for ample storytelling, and I think…
