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…

Good comedy sequels are hard to come by. Most of the time, the sequels fail because the plot gets beyond ridiculous and they repeat the same jokes, making them less funny and overall, unenjoyable. However, there are occasions where comedy sequels succeed, and that is what I am going to look at with this list. This, of course, is in honor of Neighbors 2 coming out this weekend. So with that, here are my five favorite…

Ryan Gosling is a cinematic treasure. Since his days as a member of the Mickey Mouse Club, he has since grown into one of cinema’s most diverse actors. He can do bigger Hollywood productions, smaller independent films, and star in Oscar worthy films. His diversity goes unnoticed and so does his talent. This Friday, Gosling teams up with director Damien Chazelle again for First Man, a film that should garner tons of awards attention. So with…
