Iron Man 3

Hmmm. As unhelpful as that is, that’s pretty much my summary of Iron Man 3. Don’t get me wrong, it is a great film and probably the best Iron Man movie released thus far but there are parts that don’t sit well that challenge the film as a whole. After saving the world at the

Treasure Planet

Hey how about we talk about something that isn’t the crap I’ve had to deal with? Treasure Planet is a film I had strange expectations for. I’ve known of it’s existence since it came out but I’ve never thought of actually sitting down to watch it until, well, today. It got pretty negative reviews at

Apparently I Love to Spew Hatred

I wish I could ignore crap like this. I wish I could live in a world where I didn’t have to deal with bullshit. And most of all I wish I could let crap like this go. But in this case I’ve had enough. I thought long and hard about how I should approach this

In Defense of Criticism

I am a critic. I am proud of this fact. And yet at the same time what people hate more than anything else is the critic. Everything is a-ok when you’re being nice about something but the second someone if critical about something you love then it’s a huge problem. For any of you who

Spring Breakers

…wow. Go see this movie. No you’re not reading this wrong, nor am I taking the piss. Spring Breakers is one of the truly great movies I have ever seen, a neon-mind-fuck and examination of Generation Y and the people YOLO crowd. It is, and I say this with out a trace of sarcasm or

People who say “LOL”

So as an English major I’ve pretty much come to accept that the internet has some sort of vendetta against grammar and spelling. But if there’s one thing I don’t get/find mind bogglingly annoying are people who say “LOL”. Now I don’t mean through texting or on the internet, that is what it was made

What the Hell Were the 90s?

I don’t  know how I feel about the 90s. Before anyone who reads this and also visits the Escapist, yes I’m taking notes from Movie Bob Chipman, but there’s enough of my own stuff in here that I’m hoping it’s unique thoughts. So anyway, what the hell were the 90s? There doesn’t seem to be

Roger Ebert, Laptops, Where I’ve Been.

Alright before I get started  it would be remiss to not acknowledge this. A few days ago film critic Roger Ebert passed away. This man more than anyone else helped shaped film criticism as a legitimate profession when it was just a niche area of study in stuff like the Cahiers du Cinéma. While I

Video Game Theatre: Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flags

I’m happy to have a gimmick I can tie all of this together with but man the article titles are getting longer. I…think this looks okay? After the bad taste that Assassin’s Creed 3 left in my mouth I had a bit of hope that they would go back to what made Assassin’s Creed 2

Movie Trailer Theatre: G.I. Joe: Retaliation

Another movie trailer with my reactions, this time with an actual cohesive gimmick to tie it together. I think this is a lot better than my previous confusing “one shots” gimmick. Another film based off of a nostalgic intellectual property, like Transformers or TMNT Hey wheres our Street Sharks and Gargoyle movie?! I actually think
