If anyone were to ask me what the greatest film trilogy of all-time is, I might give an unexpected answer. In my mind, it's not Star Wars. It's not The Godfather. It's not Indiana Jones. Or Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. Nor is it Spider-Man. Or Back to the Future. No, no. I feel that the... Continue Reading →
Clearly, I love movies. And I also obviously love going to the movies. Otherwise, I wouldn't be attempting to see 100 movies from one calendar year in the theater. But not everyone is as respectful of the art as the rest of us. And they aren't respectful of other people, either. Here are what I've... Continue Reading →
It finally happened. After weeks and weeks of trying and two previous failed attempts at seeing The Lobster, it finally happened. Along my March to 100, I've been in many different types of theaters. Twice, I've even been able to kick my feet up and relax in a recliner (that was the case for Green Room and The Nice... Continue Reading →
Confession time, again: I have never played World of Warcraft. I know, I know. "Bad geek! You've been a very bad geek!" It's not that I've never wanted to play it. In fact, it's the exact opposite. Many, many times, I've considered giving it a try. But then I think about all of the stories I've... Continue Reading →
Now You See Me was a bit of a surprise hit back in 2013, earning $333 million worldwide on a $75 million budget. Combining a unique premise with a varied, appealing cast, the film not only got people to the theater but gave them an enjoyable experience once they got there. Most of the time, even...

The Conjuring is one of my two favorite scary movies (along with The Ring). It was not only a great scary movie, but it was a great movie, period, regardless of genre. The performances, the directing, the story, and how everything connected all worked to create a tight, compelling film that was made all the... Continue Reading →
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is the kind of comedy I generally like. It's smart while wearing the mask of stupidity (like Dumb & Dumber, this is the sort of film where some of the audience will walk out saying, "That was stupid," while being completely ignorant of the irony that half of the jokes went completely...

I've tried. I've really tried. I've been dying to see the new Colin Farrell/Rachel Weisz film The Lobster. Because it's in such a limited release, my local theater will never, ever receive the film. No biggie, right? I travel to other areas to see films all the time! Well, that's what I did, last Sunday.... Continue Reading →
If I have one true celebrity crush (and I do), it's Emilia Clarke. After all, it's because of her that tonight, for the first time in my life, I saw two back-to-back Thursday night preview screenings! And this is the day before I have to get up at 6:00 in the morning, go to work, and... Continue Reading →
I've been surprised by the mostly-positive pre-release buzz Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows has had going for it. The original film in this particular series was supposedly hated by all (mostly because they mistakenly believed Michael Bay directed it and felt obligated to say that it sucked, lest they risk their oh-so-precious...
