Top 5 – Awesome Movies Coming Out in May

May is the official kickoff to the summer movie season!  Usually, May starts us off with a bang, and is usually a good indicator of what the summer movie season is going to be like over the next four months.  May 2018 isn’t so much a bang as it is a spark, in large part due to Avengers: Infinity War coming out in April.  We get a couple blockbusters, but it’s a relatively quiet month,…

Review – Avengers: Infinity War

Review – Avengers: Infinity War

      This is a 100% SPOILER FREE review, so if the length is a little short, it’s for you as a reader to not be spoiled.     The 2018 cinematic event is finally here!  After eighteen movies over the past ten years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has come to this point, where the heroes that we have grown to love over the last decade face their biggest challenge yet: Thanos, an intergalactic…

Top 5 – MCU Villains

Top 5 – MCU Villains

This week, the Marvel’s 19th film, Avengers: Infinity War, comes out.  The film brings all of our favorite heroes together to fight Thanos from taking over the universe.  I’m ecstatic to finally see Thanos in action as the biggest, baddest villain the MCU has ever seen.  Before Thanos, however, the MCU has had a number of villains who have attempted to thwart our heroes.  They all haven’t been great, but these five have.  My picks for…

Review – Super Troopers 2

Review – Super Troopers 2

      Mac, Rabbit, Thorny, Foster, and Farva are back for some more shenanigans in Super Troopers 2, the crowd-funded sequel to the 2001 cult stoner comedy.  The original Super Troopers gained notoriety with the midnight movie crowd as a classic, quotable stoner comedy of pure ridiculousness. Now most comedy sequels don’t work.  Movies like Caddyshack 2, The Whole Ten Yards, The Hangover Part II (and Part III for that matter) all failed miserably to live up to their predecessors.  Great…

Review – Rampage

Review – Rampage

      According to www.dictionary.com, the definition of the word rampage is, “violent or excited behavior that is reckless, uncontrolled, or destructive.”  This definition describes what I wanted out of this film.  I wanted complete and utter chaos.  I wanted heightened, ridiculous, over-the-top action.  That was it.  The plot, characters, acting, none of that matter.  I just wanted mayhem. Unfortunately, I only got that for the last third of the movie, which was everything I…

Top 5 – Dwayne Johnson Movies

Top 5 – Dwayne Johnson Movies

Back in mid 90’s up until the early 2000’s, I used to watch wrestling.  WWF, WCW, didn’t matter, I watched it.  I remember watching a young wrestler with a bull tattoo on his arm and loving him.  This man was The Rock, a.k.a Dwayne Johnson.  It is crazy to think that I have seen Johnson go from wrestler to arguably the biggest actor in the world.  Johnson has become the greatest action star of the…

Review – A Quiet Place

Review – A Quiet Place

      A Quiet Place is a movie set in a world of silence.  This is a dystopian future where people must survive mysterious creatures who are blind, but incredibly sound sensitive.  The movie itself is very quiet, because that is how our characters will survive.  But what first time director and star John Krasinski does so well is immerse us in this horrifying world.  There was a moment during the film where I…

Review – Blockers

Review – Blockers

      Blockers is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long, long time.  In fact, I’d have to go back to 21 Jump Street back in 2012 to find a comedy that I laughed this hard in.  But what makes Blockers the best comedy of 2017 so far – as well as one of the best movies of the year so far – is the balance of laughs and heart mixed with rounded…

Review – Isle of Dogs

Review – Isle of Dogs

        Isle of Dogs is Wes Anderson’s biggest and most ambitious movie to date.  It might sound crazy, seeing as it is an animated movie with talking dogs, but Anderson has never made a like this before.  This is an animated comedy that is also part Western, a sliver of film noir, and a political drama.  It’s a lot for Anderson to handle and he handles it well, for the most part. Isle…
