Movie Review: Knight and Day (2010)

3.5/5 Reviewed July 31, 2016 Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz in a popcorn-flick action movie. Pretty generic “superspy meets random person and has to have them tag along on absurd adventure while ambiguity over who is good vs bad clouds things.” This is one of those you don’t spend a ton of time analyzing, because

Movie Review: A Night at the Opera (1935)

4.5/5 Reviewed July 30, 2016 Ah, the classics. Considered one of the top 100 movies of all time and a comedic masterpiece by the Marx Brothers, I can honestly say this one still stands up. Groucho Marx deadpans some SAVAGE one-liners throughout the movie, and there are some wonderful physical gags and situations set up.

Movie Review: The Raven (2012)

3.5/5 Reviewed July 30, 2016 Now, I would not be surprised if none of my friends have heard of this movie. It has some decent actors in it like Joan Cusack (will come up in the good section)…but really didn’t get any press, plus it was a dud at the box office, but not the

Movie Review: Zootopia (2016)

4.5/5 Reviewed July 30, 2016 This movie did very well for itself, raking in over double the production budget and entertaining families. I actually quite liked this movie. Disney’s been on a pretty good streak lately with their animated films department (BIG HERO 6 WOOOOOOO), and this fell right in with the good stuff they’ve

Movie Review: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

2.25/5 Modern note: the original score was 3/5 but I just can’t let it stand with how much better I understand the failings of this film. Reviewed July 29, 2016 Obviously this movie was a mixed bag when it came out. It made back the production and marketing costs, but just barely. The original version

Movie Review: Ghostbusters: Answer the Call (2016)

Reviewed July 23, 2016 Modern note: This is the first “modern” review I did after many random things, and from here on reviews are more formalized rather than “i saw this movie and liked it, go see it” posts. I want to say up front that I did not expect to enjoy this movie, mainly

Movie Review: Star Trek Beyond (2016)

3.75/5 Reviewed July 23, 2016 Disclaimer, this movie didn’t have a review number at the time so this is a modern one Justin Lin (of Fast and Furious series fame) takes over the helm and it shows. Simon Pegg co-wrote the script, which shows in some of the care that characters and throwbacks receive. Overall,
