Elektra
Elektra from Daredevil is back and doing more martial arts stuff. This movie is very predictable, silly and induces much eye rolling. It explains Elektra coming back from the dead since she was killed in Daredevil. The explanation is very silly. Her character has now become obsessive-compulsive in order...
Hellboy
Ron Perlman is a demon conjured up by the Nazis during WWII, but ends up working as an agent of the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense kinda sorta fighting bad guys when he feels like it. I know nothing about the comic book. I was not even familiar...
Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe
Based on the first book in the C.S. Lewis children series, four English children stumbled across a wardrobe that takes them into the magical land of Narnia where the evil White Witch has turned the land into a never ending winter. I read the books when I was younger...
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry starts to have dreams of Voldemort’s return and the Tri-wizard Tournament comes back to Hogwart’s after a 100-year absence due to it being too dangerous. Like I have done with all the Harry Potter movies, I read the book just before watching the movie. I know nothing about...
Team America: World Police
Creators of South Park have made a marionette movie about a group of Americans hell-bent on reducing world crime by going after terrorists with weapons of mass destruction. Yeah, so this movie sucked. I heard that it was hilarious and a witty, biting satire. I didn’t think it was...
Serenity
Based on the television series, Firefly, a motley crew that flies through the outskirts of space picking up odd jobs are trying to avoid The Alliance that is after one of their passengers. The film is just like a big extended episode of Firefly, which isn’t a bad thing. The...
The Brothers Grimm
The Brothers Grimm pull scams on local towns by killing mythical creatures until they run up against an actual evil that isn’t them. The movie has Terry Gilliam’s trademark goofiness that is present in his films. Sometimes, it is just there a little bit and sometimes it is the...
The Island
Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson star in a sci-fi action adventure about clones that don’t know they are clones. I didn’t expect too much from this movie since it was directed by Michael Bay and I have not been a big fan of his movies in general (The Rock,...
Broken Flowers
Bill Murray is a lifelong bachelor and ladies man who receives an anonymous letter from a former girlfriend that he has a 19-year-old son that is probably trying to find him. The movie is directed by Jim Jarmusch, which I didn’t realize before watching it. I didn’t know much...
Aviator
Leonardo DiCaprio stars as billionaire aviator that turned into complete recluse Howard Hughes. I didn’t know much about Howard Hughes so this movie didn’t seem all that interesting to me, but it was up for Best Picture so I thought I should see it. I was very impressed. I...
