Fantastic Four Movie / Film Review
Fantastic Four
Simply stated, Fantastic Four is the best comic book movie of 2015. In a year that brought us very dull offerings from the Marvel/Disney cinematic universe, this little movie puts energy back into the over saturated superhero genre.

Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation Movie / Film Review
Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation
While Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation is an adequate entry in the Mission: Impossible franchise, it is not the standout film that it could, and should, have been. However, saying that, it is still miles above most of your standard action films.

Justice League: Gods and Monsters Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Justice League: Gods and Monsters
Imagine if you will, a world where there is a Superman, but no Clark Kent, a Batman, but no Bruce Wayne, A Wonder Woman, but no Princess Diana. These are some of the changes this Elseworlds (i.e. Alternate Universe) tale has in store for the viewer.

Southpaw Movie / Film Review
Southpaw
While Southpaw is not about superheroes trying to save the world, or little yellow men, it is still a worthy entry into the summer line up, and while it won’t have those same kind of numbers its opening weekend, it should have staying power.

Jurassic World Movie / Film Review
Jurassic World
Colin Treverrow has stated many times, during interviews that he wanted to create a film where adults could feel like kids again. He certainly accomplished this task, as Jurassic World reminded me why I fell in love with movies.

Jupiter Ascending Physical Media: Blu-ray Review
Jupiter Ascending
While Jupiter Ascending shows small moments of brilliance throughout its 125 minute run-time, it isn’t enough to pull this mess out of the black hole of bad science fiction space opera films that should never had been made.

Mad Max: Fury Road Movie / Film Review
Mad Max: Fury Road
"What a lovely, lovely day"In a world plagued by teenage dystopian cannon fodder, such as The Hunger Games and Divergent, Max Rockatansk...

Avengers: Age of Ultron Movie / Film Review
Avengers: Age of Ultron
The studio to finally take stock and possibly figure out that Marvel worked a lot better when it was the director making the decisions for the creative path of the film, and not executives wondering which power tie looks best at a meetings.
