I've gotten out of the habit of reviewing movies I think are really great. Spitting out a thousand words about how awesome you think something is just doesn't suit me. And honestly I think that's the case for a lot of reviewers; it's just easier to trash something. But I am going to try and … Continue reading Movie Review – Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Spoiler Fee)

12 Rounds 3: Lockdown is the third installment in an ongoing movie series from WWE Studios. The three movies aren't related, and each one stars a different WWE wrestler (the first one starred John Cena and the second one Randy Orton).

Review – Superman: Doomsday
Superman: Doomsday came out in 2007, and with rumors of Doomsday being in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Down of Justice film I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the movie (ok, not really; my DVR was empty and I needed something to watch the other day).

Mediocre Movie Reviews – X-Men: The Last Stand
X-Men: The Last Stand was the third chapter of the X-Men movie franchise, and was the one that prompted a franchise reboot/revamp based on how poorly it was received by the fans even though it was a financial success ($459 million worldwide on a $210 million budget according to IMDB.com).
