(Spoilers) Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice – Box Office Review
The movie we’re about to examine was filled with so much information, so many stories and characters that I won’t spend many words in this introductory paragraph. “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” was grand in scale and dark in tone. The reviews have been demeaning as well as celebratory.…

London Has Fallen – Box Office Review
In a previous box office review I wrote about how a film can lose that special something if it’s too cliche’. The film that takes itself seriously and then decides to forgo that mentality and welcomes in predictable, over used, unimaginative moments either in story or characters are no bueno…

The film “Race” based on the life of Gold Medal winning, American hero, Jessie Owens was everything I wanted to experience when I walked in the theater.

Here’s the thing, sometimes you decide that fast food is ok for dinner. The final meal of the day doesn’t always have to be gourmet, home made or delivery. The same philosophy can be applied to the movie-going experience. “Zoolander 2” was the Taco Bell or Del Taco version of…

Deadpool – Box Office Review
Making a film that has a strong fan base is not an easy task. Granted, the majority of movie watching folks, like probably you, don’t know who this character is or where he comes from. So, how do you excite enough people who are unfamiliar with a character while paying…
