Now You See Me 2 should really be called Now You See Coincidences. This is a film that is based solely on one character predicting what another character will do. And of course, everything goes according to plan. From the placement of a cell phone to knowing how people will react in a particular situation, everything that every character wants works out. You know what doesn’t work out? This movie. Led by an all-star cast who…

I placed Warcraft at number two on my Potential Surprises list when looking at summer movies. The film had a lot of potential. Duncan Jones is an excellent director, having made one of the best science fiction films in the last decade with Moon (2009) and the incredibly inventive Source Code (2011). He was finally given a big budget and it was exciting to see what he could do with that. The visuals for the films looked spectacular and the…

So, I’ve made a lot of Top 5’s on Kevflix. For the most part, they’re relatively easy to make. I usually have a pretty good idea of the movies that are going to be on the list, with a little debate about the final spot or two. That was not the case when making the list of the best Woody Harrelson movies. The guy’s filmography is loaded with so many great performances, I could have…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is complete and utter chaos. A movie structured into three explosive half hour action sequences and a whole bunch of of exposition giving us necessary plot points and story structure. This is the perfect mindless summer action movie and one that slapped a smile on my face the entire movie. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows starts with the recently detained Shredder (Brian Tee) breaking out of…

Before walking into Me Before You, the studio had the great idea of handing out a box of tissues to each patron before entering the theater. This was a clear indication of the kind of movie this was going to be, though I had an idea this was going to be a sapfest just based on the synopsis. I declined my box of tissues, keeping the slightest shred of man-card I had left and also feeling…

X-Men: Apocalypse is either the third, sixth, or ninth installment of the X-Men franchise, depending on how you look at it. Regardless of how or where you classify Apocalypse, it’s awesome. It isn’t the masterpiece that was X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), but it is a bold, brash, epic film that is incredibly entertaining. Apocalypse kicks off introducing us to the first mutant ever Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac), a mutant worshiped as a God in the dawn of man, who gets…

It could be argued that the X-Men franchise is the franchise that ushered in the modern comic book movie. After a few rough comic book films in the late 1990’s, the first X-Men came out in 2000 and showed the world how to really make a comic book movie. This Friday, the ninth film in the series, X-Men: Apocalypse comes out and looks like their biggest and boldest film yet. So with that, here are my rankings of all the X-Men…

Neighbors (2014) was a surprise smash hit. I thought the film was solid, but the jokes towards the end got a little redundant. But with great critical response and box office comes a sequel, so now we get Neighbors 2, an unnecessary movie, but one that keeps the laughs coming for the entire film. When a hard partying sorority moves next door to Mac and Kelly Radner (Seth Rogen & Rose Byrne), the couple asks for help…
