Top 5 – Charlize Theron Movies

Top 5 – Charlize Theron Movies

Charlize Theron is one of the premiere leading ladies in Hollywood.  An actress who really didn’t break out until the early 2000’s, Theron has proven her diversity as an actress, starring in everything from action thrillers, to comedies, to Oscar contenders.  This week, Theron stars in Atomic Blonde, which looks incredibly bad ass.  So in honor of that, here are my picks for the best Charlize Theron movies. These movies are based on movie quality and…

Review – Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

Review – Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

    Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is an experience unlike any I have ever had at the movies.  I am writing this review three days after seeing the movie and I still can’t fully grasp what I witnessed.  I can’t tell if Valerian is a groundbreaking masterpiece, a campy classic, or a complete disaster. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is set in the 28th century and follows Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline…

Review – Dunkirk

Review – Dunkirk

    Christopher Nolan has done it again.  The director who has brought us modern classics in Memento (2001), The Dark Knight (2008), and Inception (2010) has made yet another masterpiece in Dunkirk.  This is an incredibly intense, thoroughly engrossing war film and the best movie of 2017 so far. Dunkirk takes a look at the invasion of Dunkirk during World War II, where the German army has surrounded Allied troops in the French city.  Nolan breaks this down into three parts;…

Review – War for the Planet of the Apes

Review – War for the Planet of the Apes

The final chapter in the Planet of the Apes prequel trilogy is a perfect ending to one of cinema’s greatest trilogies.  War for the Planet of the Apes ranks with Return of the Jedi (1983) and Toy Story 3 (2010) as the greatest finale to a trilogy I have ever seen.  This is a bold, epic, beautifully shot movie and one of the best movies of 2017. War takes place two years after the events of Dawn of the…

Review – Wish Upon

Review – Wish Upon

    Wish Upon is about a teenage girl named Clare (Joey King) who receives an ancient box that will magically grant her seven wishes.  However, with each wish, somebody close to her dies, which causes Clare into a downward spiral or paranoia, greed, and stupidity. I am not going to break this movie down like I usually do in my reviews.  Instead, I am going list seven wishes that I wish for this movie.  These…

Best Movies of 2017 – So Far

June is officially over, which means we are halfway through the 2017 cinematic year.  I have seen 93 movies so far this year, just short of my goal of 100 for the first half (my goal is 200 for the whole year).  I’ve seen some great films, and some not so great films, but overall, 2017 is shaping out to be a great year for movies.  Here are my picks for the best movies of 2017…

Review – Spider-Man: Homecoming

Review – Spider-Man: Homecoming

        Spider-Man: Homecoming is a testament to Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios.  Over the last fifteen years, when Sam Raimi debuted his original Spider-Man (2002), we have seen five Spider-Man films, which included one trilogy, one incomplete trilogy, and two different Spider-Man’s (Spider-Men?) in Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. With Spider-Man: Homecoming, we get our third version of Spider-Man, with a new actor in the red and blue spandex, new villains, and a new story.  But, instead of…

Ranking All the Spider-Man Movies

Ranking All the Spider-Man Movies

The first Spider-Man film bursted into cinemas in the summer of 2002 and was immediately a cultural phenomenon.  It is now 2019 and we are on our eighth Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: Far From Home.  Is it a bit much?  Maybe.  If you think about it, we have nine Batman theatrical films and the first Batman film debuted in 1966.  But I digress.  In honor of Far From Home, here is my ranking of all the Spider-Man movies.     …
