A Million Ways to Die in the West finds a dozen ways to laugh
A Million Ways to Die in the West, Seth MacFarlane’s epic western comedy presented a million ways to kill a joke. Fortunately, in the barrage of gags enough stuck the landing to keep the film from being terrible. Somehow I suspect MacFarlane understood exactly what he was doing. Comedic the film was all over the […]

X-Men: Days of Future Past delivers thrills, laughs, and Quicksilver.
X-Men: Days of Future past may very well be the best yet of the X-Men franchise. It is, at the very least, the entry I have enjoyed the most. It felt more complete, and well rounded than any of its predecessors. Neither weighed down with origin stories nor over burdened with multiple new characters. Or […]

Game of Thrones: Mockingbird
Mockingbird, episode 7, was not the sigh of relief I was expecting after the amazing close last week. It was, instead, a stunning gasp of realization as significant plot points were revealed to the audience, and to the characters. In the seven presented scenes, enough was revealed to see where events are leading. Traditionally this […]

Vampire Academy the movie just….bites
Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy books are surprisingly good. Based on the cheesy title, I didn’t expect a series of engrossing, well-written novels. When I learned Mark Waters of Mean Girls fame was directing the film adaptation and working with screenwriter Daniel Waters of Heathers. I thought that despite the terrible tag line: “they suck at […]

Godzilla, Our Saviour
What I’ve always loved about Godzilla is the sea monster’s willingness to fight our foes, while not necessarily caring at all for the well-being of us humans. Godzilla treats humans as just another species on the planet—nothing special about us. And happily, I can say that this latest of version of Godzilla has just that […]
Godzilla will smash his way into your heart
Godzilla is absolutely everything you could, or should, expect from a movie titled Godzilla. That is monstrous amounts of fun. Any serious complaints I could make bounce off the subject matter as if Godzilla really could not give less of a damn what anyone thinks. He is like a pre-historic irradiated and mutated gargantuan honey […]
Revisiting John Green’s Novel The Fault in Our Stars
With the upcoming release of The Fault in Our Stars movie starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, I think we should have a little revisit of the 2012 novel it’s based on. You know, to refresh readers and prepare them for the ugly crying they’ll be doing in the theater. I mean, I teared up […]
