Movie Review – Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

With Star Wars: Rogue One in the news recently, I got a bug to take a look at some of the older films for old time's sake.  And having reviewed Episodes 1 and 2 here already, I figured why not close it out with Episode III.  I remember when Episode III came out in the … Continue reading Movie Review – Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

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

Tapping Out on Trailers

So we got a Dr. Strange trailer yesterday....no wait, that was the teaser trailer not the actual first trailer.  And a few days earlier we got the third (Or is fourth?  I don't even know anymore) trailer for Civil War and the third or fourth trailer for Suicide Squad.  And that's after the first trailer … Continue reading Tapping Out on Trailers

Movie Review – Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice

Let me start this off by stating very clearly....THIS IS MY OPINION.  If you have a different one, that's perfectly fine.  I'm saying that because I have seen way too many 'if you like Dawn of Justice, you're a moron!' takes ever since the reviews started coming in.  It takes a whole lot for me … Continue reading Movie Review – Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice

A few thoughts on Dawn of Justice

OK, I'm back from seeing Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice.  I'm not giving a full blown review here because I'm going back next weekend to see it again.  If you're dying to know what I think (of course you are, or you wouldn't be joining the two or three other people who are reading … Continue reading A few thoughts on Dawn of Justice

Movie Review – Deadpool

This is way late but I just got around to seeing it last week.  Look at this as a perspective from after the hype and hoopla died down.....or just see as it as good use of 30 seconds of your time. Synopsis Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds), former military man turned mercenary for hire, gets cancer … Continue reading Movie Review – Deadpool

R-Rated Super Movies

Batman going full tilt on the bad guys, literally bashing faces in and nailing them with batarangs in full bloody fashion.  Wolverine finally giving opponents the proper slice and dice treatment that many have been clamoring for.  More movies like Blade and Deadpool, and fewer like Guardians of the Galaxy or Ant-Man.  Is this the … Continue reading R-Rated Super Movies
