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
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: […]
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: Insidious: Chapter 2
I had such high hopes for this movie! Unfortunately, they were dashed about forty-five minutes in. The movie started out well enough, a similar suspenseful vibe like in the beginning of The Conjuring. The tie-ins from the previous film were actually done reasonably well throughout the story, but as the movie went on, I’m sorry […]

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: The Hangover 3
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: Iron Man 3
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 […]
