The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Review

The epic conclusion to this trilogy feels thin and sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread We’ve all been on an unexpectedly long journey with Bilbo Baggins since he joined the merry band of dwarves back in 2012.

What’s the Big Deal with the Star Wars Teaser?

In an era where marketing strategies for blockbusters have been turned into well oiled machines, I was a little worried the new Star Wars would be missing the “event of the year” magic we saw in the original and prequel trilogies by the time the first trailer hit. If the 2014 box office has anything…

The Legend of Korra: 4.07 “Reunion” Review

Korra Returns to Republic City After last week’s pretty bleak ending, it was nice to see a warm reunion between Korra and her loyal polar bear dog companion Naga.

The Legend of Korra: 4.05 “Enemy at the Gates” Review

Kuvira Rides to Zhaofu This week’s episode Enemy At the Gates really kicked into high gear as Kuvira’s army marched on Zhaofu.

Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) Review

When I think of Birdman I think of Winston Churchill’s famous quote on Russia. “It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma”. Birdman is about so many things, but the film itself claims to be about nothing. It’s about a washed up egotistical actor searching for relevance in world of viral media;…
