Seeking Mavis Beacon Review
Growing up a fan of geek culture a lot of my heroes were not real. Peter Parker was not a real teen in New York fighting crime. Luke Skywalker was not learning to be a Jedi in a galaxy far, far, away. I knew these were not real people but could connect to them. I…

The Paragon Review
Disclaimer: There are a few moments with flashing/strobing lights that may be too much for sensitive viewers. Revenge movies are an interesting genre. The reason the main protagonists want revenge always varies. Whether it is getting revenge for the death of a loved one or trying to settle a score, revenge movies are a fun…

Transformers One Review
Growing up I never got to see The Transformers: The Movie on the big screen. The only theater in Chicago that was playing it was nowhere near me and I had to wait until it came out on video to watch it. Even then I had to wait until a copy was in stock to…

Merchant Ivory Review
To be honest, whenever I saw a trailer or commercial for a Merchant Ivory movie the first thought that would come to my mind was “BORING!”. Granted, I was in elementary school and these movies did not appeal to me but, I knew there was something about them because they were so critically acclaimed and…

Film Review: Autobot Fans Assemble for “Transformers One”
Millions of years ago, on a planet far, far away, a civilization of mechanical beings lived in seeming harmony, ruled over by the much beloved Sentinel Prime (voice of Jon Hamm). It’s a society living on the memory of an earlier, more prosperous time, however, when the life-giving Energon flowed freely through the mechanical cities.…

Last Straw Review
We have all had those days when we are on our way to work and our car breaks down. We either have to run or bike to work and arrive sweaty from rushing to get there on time. We get in trouble with the owner because we are the manager of the place and have…

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Review
I remember the first time I saw Beetlejuice I knew I was entering another world. The name Tim Burton had already entered my world due to the eccentric Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. That movie was a bizarre ride in itself. Through his images, music, and use of practical effects, Burton showed us how to tell…

Blink Twice Review
There is a moment in Blink Twice when Frida’s character, played by Naomi Ackie, is drinking her champagne near the pool and she starts choking on a raspberry. At first, no one is paying attention but then Channing Tatum’s character, Slater King, swoops in to help her. By the time he gets to her, Frida…

Alien: Romulus Review
The one line that everyone repeats when they talk about an Alien movie is that “In space, no one can hear you scream”. Well, Fede Alvarez has changed that and while those in space might not hear you scream, those in the seats next to you will. Alien: Romulus is a chilling, claustrophobic, and intense journey…

Peak Season Review
Peak Season gives us a story about longing, relationships, and the unknown within some amazing scenery that looks like Ansel Adams photographs. Now while that sounds like a simple storyline, sometimes you don’t need car chases, aliens, or a convoluted story to present something that is real and tender on the screen. In the same…
