Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation doesn’t try to be anything that it isn’t. It is positively entertaining and blends the best elements from the franchise’s previous four installments. Cruise has done it yet again.
Ant-Man Review
Ant-Man is the latest installment in Marvel Studio’s plan to take over the world. Scott Lang is a slick thief talented in breaking into the most secure places, a profession with very little benefit. Scott’s criminal activity costs him his wife and his young daughter who admires him greatly. In one last heist, Scott comes across the Ant-Man suit capable of shrinking a human down to the size of...well an ant.
Tomorrowland Review
Tomorrowland is very similar to Frank Walker’s jetpack. It may be flawed and expected, but it certainly does try to dream big.
Mad Max: Fury Road Review
Mad Max: Fury Road is an adrenaline-spiking thrill ride that relentlessly anchors you to the edge of your squeaky local theater seat.
Kingsman: The Secret Service Review
Kingsmans’s over the top violence and plot are in contrast to the overall aesthetic of a majority of the characters. With a visionary director, studded cast, and exhilarating story, Kingsman: The Secret Service is a definite winner.
The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 1 Review
The real issue with this film was how it affected the characters. It was essential for the plot, but I think it really hurt it in the end. Most of the characters were no longer who we remember them to be just a year ago. Many of them received little screen time. Most of that was reserved for crying Katniss. Overall, the film was glum and although it had some strengths, I was mostly disappointed by the lack of progression. Most films have a beggining middle and end, even if it is a lead in film. This film showed no evolution. I am hoping Part 2 will turn it around and show some resolve.
Big Hero 6 Review
Big Hero 6 tells the story of Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter), a young boy with an immense knowledge of technology. Hiro uses his special gift of hustling unsuspecting robot fighters in the streets of San Fransokyo.
