Gone Girl
I was excited when I heard that my favorite book from 2012 was being turned into a movie, but the more I thought about it, the more I became wary of the idea. How could this crazy book be turned into a movie? It alternates back and forth between...
Tusk
This movie originated from Kevin Smith’s podcast where after seeing an ad that offered free lodging for someone that would agree to dress up as a walrus, Smith and his friend Scott Mosier came up with a movie idea based on that ad, but it goes off in a completely twisted...
Chef
If you are a fan of cooking shows and food looking fabulous, this movie could be right up your alley. Jon Favreau obviously did a lot of research into his role as Chef Carl who is the executive chef at a fancy restaurant that quits his job after being...
They Came Together
I’m not a fan of romantic comedies. I should clarify and say that I do enjoy a good love story and adore comedies, but the way Hollywood puts them together in the romantic comedy genre is insulting to men, women, love and basic common sense. I also have been...
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
I read the book trilogy in about a week while the first movie was being filmed. I really enjoyed the first book, found the second one to be decent and thought the third book to drag on endlessly with a happy ending randomly tacked on as an epilogue. I...
Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa
I have never seen an episode of Jackass or any of the previous Jackass movies. I know what they are about, but I have just missed out on that part of society. I found that concept of Bad Grandpa hilarious though. Johnny Knoxville is dressed up like an 80-something...
Gravity
I saw this movie as it was intended in 3D IMAX so I would feel as if I was in space with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. The movie was quite impressive in that way. I never felt like I was watching a bunch of special effects. I felt...
Don Jon
Jon (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a guy who likes his routines. He goes to church and eats dinner with his family every Sunday, he works out, he goes dancing to pick up ladies, and he’s addicted to porn. He is caught up in the fantasy of the girls on the...
Insidious: Chapter 2
It picks up where the last movie left off with the family trying to get over what happened, but they are still connected to the spirit world. I found the first movie to be a decent scary movie. It did rip off a lot of the plot from...
In a World
A woman vocal coach tries to break into the cutthroat world of movie-trailer voiceovers that has only been a male profession. I never much thought about the voices in movie trailers. I knew there was one main guy. I also noticed that it was more varied in recent years,...
