I was late to the party for this one in that I didn't get to see it in the theater but I just watched it a few times On Demand and I had some thoughts so I figured why not share them here? I'd heard differing opinions on it; some people I talked to absolutely … Continue reading Movie Review – Captain Marvel
Movie Review – Godzilla King of Monsters
The good All things monster related were just wonderful. Godzilla, Ghidorah, and Rodan all looked great and Mothra was truly a sight to behold. I have long advocated for the old cheesy rubber suits over CGI laden attempts at realism but I finally relent now. They did all of the big 4 justice with the … Continue reading Movie Review – Godzilla King of Monsters
Movie Review – Bumblebee
Bumblebee is the sixth film in the Transformers movie series, which was badly in need of a turnaround after the fifth installment The Last Knight didn't meet expectations at the box office. Now the movies had been getting crushed by critics, bloggers, etc for some time but had been bulletproof until then even as it … Continue reading Movie Review – Bumblebee
Venom and Pre-hating on things
As of the time I'm starting this post, I have not yet seen Venom, although I do plan on seeing it eventually. I originally wanted no part of it but now my curiosity has been piqued. My reason to avoid it was the same as most other people who weren't for it all this time, … Continue reading Venom and Pre-hating on things
Movie Review – Avengers: Infinity War
This really isn't just one movie. It's the culmination of a 10 year endeavor that began with a gamble on a troubled Hollywood actor in Robert Downey Jr. and that making good movies that people enjoyed would overcome having to rely on B and C list characters from the Marvel Comics roster. It's also the … Continue reading Movie Review – Avengers: Infinity War
Movie Review – Black Panther
Black Panther is the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and the last movie before Infinity War comes out this May. But like Wonder Woman last year it bears a special significance above and beyond just being a cool movie we wanted to see. It's not the first superhero movie with a Black … Continue reading Movie Review – Black Panther

Retro Movie Review – Lucy
Note: This is a review I did at my old blog and migrated here. I updated the original one after rewatching the movie a few times since it's original release. Lucy is a different kind of movie. It's part action, part science fiction, part supernatural thriller. It's about a college student named Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) … Continue reading Retro Movie Review – Lucy
Movie Review – Spider-Man: Homecoming
Let me start off by saying I really didn't want this movie to be made. I wanted the Andrew Garfield run to get one more movie and a proper finish, and then they could do whatever they wanted to fit the character into the MCU. So in viewing and reviewing this, I'm admittedly not starting … Continue reading Movie Review – Spider-Man: Homecoming
Movie Review – Captain America: Civil War
Synopsis The UN wants to reel in the Avengers after a mission goes somewhat awry when Scarlet Witch doesn't quite control her powers during a fight. Using that and the damage/casualties from previous Avengers big fights as justification, they draft the Sokovia Accords (named after the country the team fought Ultron over in Age of … Continue reading Movie Review – Captain America: Civil War
