Movie Reviews

We love movies. Watching them, quoting them, talking about them, reviewing them - it's all a wonderful world of visual fiction. We don't discriminate between new releases and older films as long as it hasn't been reviewed before on the blog.

Indie flicks, rom-coms, Oscar noms, classics, action movies - they're all fun and they're all here! These posts are listed in order of their posting date on the blog.

Review: Much Ado About Nothing

24 June 2013 by Jess

I cannot tell you how lovely this movie was. I was not quite sure what to expect because I’ve never seen Whedon do Shakespeare. Victorian era, sure, but a modern version of Shakespeare? I had complete confidence in his abilities, but I’ve never been seriously into Shakespeare, and I’d never read or seen this particular […]

Review: The Great Gatsby

20 June 2013 by Jess

I GOT IT WORKING!! If you’re following over at Still Insists, you may remember I mentioned how I shot a video review of the film, but it was showing up weird on YouTube, so I hadn’t posted it yet. I finally figured out what was wrong and it looks like it’s supposed to now. I […]

Review: Star Trek Into Darkness

19 June 2013 by Jess

This WAS my favorite movie of the summer, until I saw the new Superman movie, but it’s still really good. Possibly my favorite part? Another Beastie Boys song playing in Kirk’s room in the earlier part of the film. I love the scene in the first film where Kirk as a kid takes off with […]

Review: The Hangover 3

18 June 2013 by Jess

I’ll be honest: I didn’t see the second one. It looked a little stupid, but the previews for #3 looked really funny, so I decided I’d check it out. Worth it. While I planned to see while it was in theaters, I picked this when I arrived at the box office. I had left the […]

Review: Oz, The Great and Powerful

13 June 2013 by Jess

I feel so horrible for not sharing this sooner, but since the DVD’s coming out soon, maybe the new timing is all right. While this movie is supposed to be a prequel to the beloved movie The Wizard of Oz with the wonderful Judy Garland, don’t be fooled. It’s nothing like the original, and yet, […]

Review: Fast and Furious 6

11 June 2013 by Jess

Of all the movies I saw in May this year, this was the big fan favorite. Not only did it kick butt at the box office, but the people in the theater when I saw it (at 11:30 in the morning on a Monday after opening weekend) actually applauded at the end of it. You […]

Review: Iron Man 3

5 May 2013 by Jess

First off, I’ll say I enjoyed it. I laughed, I almost cried, and it was pretty thrilling. There are SPOILERS below, so you may as well just skip to the end for the star rating if you don’t want to know what happens. The story It was actually pretty good. Sequels are always iffy, but […]

Review: All Good Things

18 February 2013 by Jess

I love Ryan Gosling. Who doesn’t? I have missed seeing Kirsten Dunst, and this is one of the more prominent movies she’s been in over the last couple years, so I thought I’d see it. Mistake. This movie moved WAY too slowly for me to get into it. I had to watch it several sittings […]

Review: A Good Day to Die Hard

18 February 2013 by Jess

After you get through so many sequels, it’s not surprising that they never live up to the original. I’m extremely saddened to say this one is the fourth best out of the five Die Hard films. The trailers for it are pretty good–they promoted the heck out of this movie and they really did a […]

Review: Last Night

15 February 2013 by Jess

I’ll tell you straight off, I would see anything Sam Worthington is in. Period. The guy is genius, good-looking, has an accent, and I think has the breadth to tackle any role. The same can be said for Keira Knightley, though I’m not as devoted a fan of hers as I am of Worthington’s. He’s […]

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 my take on the latest movies I’ve seen (some new, some new to me, and some classics that are worth a rewatch), 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.
