Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates

Oct 10, 2016

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates does seem to work better on the small screen. In the theater, where one expects grandiose and larger than life pictures, this one just didn’t have the power to bring people in.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Jul 19, 2016

While so many critics panned this film, I personally think Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is one of the best superhero films ever made. It is more geared towards an adult audience than the Marvel Cinematic Universe offers.
