Is Rotten Tomatoes really hurting movies that much?

Short answer; no- and here’s why. And you really don’t have to look far for an explanation. The past couple of years, there’s been a shortage of blockbuster movies with a good turnout. A couple of weeks ago when Suicide Squad was about to be released in theaters, a lot of the top critics on …

Suicide Squad had great potential, but failed to wow audiences

This past weekend, I went to go see Suicide Squad. I was really excited to see what Warner Bros. and DC comics had cooked up for a live-action Suicide Squad movie. A lot of the advanced trailers that people were seeing about the movie looked to be fairly promising. The studio had secured established actors …

With Luck, Deadpool Will Change The Rules For Comic Book Movies

Like a lot of other people this past weekend, I went to see the new Deadpool movie; actually, I saw twice. If I’m being completely honest, would go see the movie the first time to make sure that it was kid friendly; it wasn’t. There was a lot of F-bombs, violence and language. It was …

Movie Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Very watchable

As a fan of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles [TMNT], I was really interested to see the new version. TMNT [1990] did good in theaters, having two follow sequels and a spinoff cartoon series. I knew I was going to have to see simply because of the new graphics and money that they could …

Movie review: Robocop (2014) – The attempted reboot.

The reboot version of RoboCop came out this Friday. I’m not a big fan of the obnoxious jerks that go to the movie theaters on Friday night to watch these types of movies, so I typically wait until Saturday morning to watch them. The 80’s version of RoboCop has been one of those movies that …

Movie Review: Elysium– Good But Has A Strong Political Undertone

This past weekend, I went to go see the new movie Elysium with Matt Damon. Science fiction movies are always kind of a draw for me. Science fiction pretty much guarantees that the story is going to be somewhat interesting and shows off what Hollywood is doing with the latest graphics. Elysium is a movie …

Critics for Movies Suck and RED 2 was great!

I’m finally getting around on doing movies that I see. This past weekend, I would go see RED 2. RED 2 being the sequel to the original release of RED [retired and extremely dangerous]. I thought that the original movie was really good. It had actors that everyone like, like Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John …

Movie Review: Oblivion [meh- it’s okay]

Last night, I went to go see the new movie called Oblivion, starring Tom Cruise. I’m a big fan of quality science fiction movies. Most of the time, if the actors are decent and the effects are done well, the overall message of the picture will come across and should be fairly good. In Oblivion …

Simply the introduction of James Bond everyone sparks thoughts about spies and gadgets, not to mention the women that have played the role of Bond girl. This past weekend I just a belated trip to the local theater to see the newest/latest …
