RED 2 Review
In 2010 RED was a nice little surprise that seemingly came out of nowhere. The movie had an exciting cast, some really innovative bits of fun action, and a some really enjoyable writing. The movie was so successful that despite there not being additional source material to adapt, Summit and DC entertainment decided to pursue…
Pacific Rim Review

Despicable Me 2 Review
“Gru’s back in the game with cool cars… gadgets… and weapons!” -Gru Despicable Me was one of the biggest surprises out of Universal in 2010 with its heartfelt story,clever twist on portraying an anti-hero, and army of unpredictably amusing minions.

Fast and Furious 6 Review
“You don’t turn your back on family, even when they do” -Dom Toretto The Fast and Furious series has gone from a franchise about beautiful women, fast cars, and crosstown rivalries to one of heist jobs, an ever growing ensemble cast, and over-the-top stunts. Nobody ever could have predicted back in 2001 that the brand…
Iron Man 3 Review
Apologies for the late posting of this review. It’s been a gloriously beautiful chaos the last two weeks and things have finally settled down enough for me to post my thoughts “Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off, what are you?” -Steve Rogers, Captain America Tony Stark has come a long way since his…
