Glitz AND Feels: Swing By for Amazing Spider-Man 2

3 May 2014 by Jess

Glitz AND Feels: Swing By for Amazing Spider-Man 2

They have promoted the shit out of this movie, maybe even more so after seeing how well Captain America: The Winter Soldier has done at the box office so far (and that wasn’t even a summer blockbuster), but I’m not quite sure it’s going to be enough to beat out Spidey’s Marvel sequel bro, Cap […]

So Nice I Saw It Twice: Capt. America Review Part II

14 April 2014 by Jess

So Nice I Saw It Twice: Capt. America Review Part II

Admittedly, this is not the first movie I’ve ever seen more than once in theaters. I saw Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers at least seven times in theaters, and if I had had the time/money, I would’ve seen Star Trek Into Darkness at least two or three times in theaters. But Captain America: […]

Review: Hit and Run

8 April 2014 by Jess

Review: Hit and Run

I follow Dax Shepard on Twitter, so I knew about this movie when it came out, but I never got around to seeing it. I just found it on Netflix recently, and I was in a binging mood so I watched it. I’d heard it was good, and now I get why! First of all, […]

Cap’ Hits a Home Run as His Past Catches Up

5 April 2014 by Jess

Cap’ Hits a Home Run as His Past Catches Up

I’ve been more excited for this movie than any other Marvel sequel thus far, and it did not disappoint in any way. This is a hold-onto-your-seat, gasp-ridden, action-packed emotional roller coaster – and I loved every minute of it, right down to the last sequence after the credits. FAIR WARNING: This review contains spoilers and […]

Review: Haywire

5 March 2014 by Jess

Review: Haywire

This movie was a lot of fun. I had never seen Gina Carano before this (though I’ve seen her since in Fast and Furious 6), but she proved that she’s one to watch in the years to come. She can do badass, and actually serve up a great performance. Carano plays Mallory Kane, a former […]

Review: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

Review: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

Before I even get into anything, Kevin Costner stole the effing show. If you’re not prepared to handle that, maybe check out my review of Star Trek Into Darkness if you want some Chris Pine love. Also, fail on the poster. Ripping off The X Files for the tagline? For shame. The story begins with […]

Review: Red 2

7 August 2013 by Jess

Review: Red 2

Bruce Willis has still got it. I know I wasn’t very nice about A Good Day to Die Hard (believe me, I really TRIED, because I love the man and the franchise so much!), but this one is a winner. I might even go so far as to say this was better than the first […]

Review: Pacific Rim

6 August 2013 by Jess

Review: Pacific Rim

I was not going to see this movie. I thought it was Transformers, underwater, and I thought it looked pretty lame and unoriginal, but after the reviews started coming in (and after I realized the hottie from Sons of Anarchy (Charlie Hunnam) was in it!), I decided to give it a shot. Totally. Worth. It. […]

Review: 2 Guns

4 August 2013 by Jess

Review: 2 Guns

The title pretty much sums it up. It’s a pretty violent flick. But, it was pretty entertaining, too. Denzel Washington plays Bobby, an undercover DEA agent trying to bring down a Mexican drug cartel, led by Edward James Olmos’s character Papi, with his partner, an undercover US Navy Intelligence officer, Stig, played by Mark Wahlberg. […]

Review: Olympus Has Fallen

11 July 2013 by Jess

Review: Olympus Has Fallen

I don’t often say no to Gerard Butler or Morgan Freeman, so as soon as I saw Butler was playing the hero in this film, I bought in. The movie gets off to a very rocky start, and opens with Butler as Mike Banning, a personal security detail on the President (Aaron Eckhart), on Christmas […]

About the Blog

This is a place to share my love and excessive fandom of film, actors, and television. I gush a lot, and I complain a lot, usually not simultaneously.

I share recaps and my take on the latest television episodes, any movies I've seen recently, and a little promotion here and there for shows or films that I feel deserve a little more attention than they're getting.

So, kick back, settle in, switch on, tune in, or whatever you have to do and join in on the love for all things that move on-screen.
