Movie Review: Pandorum (2009)

Reviewed August 23, 2016 Horror/suspense movie set in a dark, giant spaceship where a few crew wake up from hypersleep to an abused, dark ship, complete with horrible monsters that eat people. Think the goblins from LOTR with more spikes and way faster/tougher. This movie had a lot of shades of Event Horizon, Pitch Black,

Movie Review: Inside Man (2006)

3.75/5 Reviewed August 21, 2016 Denzel Washington, Jodie Foster, and Clive Owen in a solid heist movie with an ok mystery premise. Not going to go too far into this one; it’s entertaining if you’re into crime/heist movies, and nothing is horribly shocking and the acting is just “ok.” Best thing to say about it

Movie Review: Sausage Party (2016)

Reviewed August 20, 2016 The Judd Apatow crew (Rogen/Hill/Cera/Franco/Robinson/Hader/McBride) is at it again, in possibly the most foul-mouthed animated movie since South Park. Super raunchy, lots of food puns and wordplay, and generally good comedy from the gang. It’s a movie about how supermarket food thinks that humans are taking them away to heaven, only

Movie Review: Kubo and the Two Strings (2016)

Reviewed August 20, 2016 Laika is a production company that specializes in stop-motion animation and has put out such recent films as Coraline, Paranorman, and The Boxtrolls (haven’t seen the last one). They’ve made their mark with the animation style as well as featuring intensely driven, whimsical and gut-wrenching stories. Kubo is the story of

Movie Review: Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016)

Reviewed August 20, 2016 Another solid movie from Dreamworks. Same cast, new villain, new thing for Po to master, and also a reunited family angle. Works pretty well, has some good humor, and the voice acting is on-point as usual in the series. JK Simmons was fantastic as the villain. Not much to really say

Movie Review: The Princess and the Frog (2009)

4.25/5 Reviewed August 13, 2016 Disney decided to branch out from its more traditional European tales and create the story of Tiana, a hard-working New Orleans gal trying to make her way in the world. *Edit, also known as the Frog Prince goes to New Orleans, oops* Disney’s first black princess battles a Voodoo master’s

Movie Review: The King’s Speech (2010)

Reviewed August 13, 2016 What a magnificent movie, which is about King George VI overcoming a terrible speech impediment to become a powerful leader during World War 2. The acting is top-notch, the score is fanciful and fluffy and fits incredibly well, and the story is told in an incredibly powerful way. Easy to see

Movie Review: Gettysburg (1993)

Reviewed August 11, 2016 Gettysburg is a four hour movie based on a book about the most famous battle of the American Civil War. Martin Sheen, Jeff Daniels, Tom Berenger, and Sam Elliot portray various generals and characters throughout the three-day battle. Normally I’d worry about spoilers, but anyone that studied civil war history probably

Movie Review: Cedar Rapids (2011)

2.5/5 Reviewed August 7, 2016 Guessing most of my friends have never heard of it, although it stars some decent talent (Ed Helms, John C Reilly, Anne Heche, Sigourney Weaver, and others). It’s a comedy/drama about a naive insurance salesman who goes to a wild convention in…Cedar Rapids. Critics liked it, audiences were indifferent. It’s

Movie Review: Suicide Squad (2016)

Reviewed August 6, 2016 As per usual, this review will have spoilers down below the intro, but if you’d like to talk about spoiler related events, message me. Also…there is a single credits scene that’s worth staying for, but it’s early in so you don’t have to pull a Marvel and wait the whole time
