Assassin’s Creed (2016)

Ah, Assassin’s Creed… The movie tie-in to a video game franchise I have enjoyed from time-to-time, and starring Michael Fassbender, no less. At the time, I was shocked to see Fassbender, an actor who is definitely above this material, starring in this type of movie. My thought is he must’ve received oodles of cash… ifContinue reading “Assassin’s Creed (2016)”

War Games (1983)

Tonight’s movie is going to be War Games from 1983. This movie is about as 80s as they come… Matthew Broderick & Ally Sheedy are the leads, to start. Computer games are all text based, and they are virtually indistinguishable from actual applications. The trailer is essentially just a voiceover. And in 2020, the factContinue reading “War Games (1983)”

21 Bridges (2019)

In the past week, we received news that Chadwick Boseman passed away from colon cancer. According to the news, he was diagnosed during the filming of “Captain America: Civil War”, which means the man did his entire run in Marvel while undergoing cancer treatment. That, my friends, is the definition of a “bad-ass”. This man’sContinue reading “21 Bridges (2019)”

The Sharknado Franchise!

So, cool story… I was talking to a friend of mine that I’ve known since college. In an unfortunate moment, he made a general reference to bad movies like “that Sharknado movie”. Now, I have seen it, but i knew there were a few of them. I also know that they are generally the worstContinue reading “The Sharknado Franchise!”

ANON (2018)

Thank the Netflix algorithm for this one, I guess… I have never heard of this movie, but it is apparently a recommended film under the “Relentless Crime Thrillers” category. From the trailer, it stars Clive Owen (where has that guy been for the past 5 years?) and Amanda Seyfried. Clive Owen plays a cop (IContinue reading “ANON (2018)”

Air Force One (1997)

Is anyone else tired of election season? We still have 2 months to go, and it is just so exhausting. So, today I feel like watching the “ra, ra Am-er-ica” centric action film “Air Force One”. Made in 1997, this is pre-“War on Terror”, but a lot of the plot is somewhat in that arena,Continue reading “Air Force One (1997)”

National Lampoon’s Van Wilder (2002)

OH man, here we go. Today I am watching the 2002 CLASSIC film where Deadpool goes to college and throws parties featuring the Sharknado magnet herself. Clearly, I am talking about Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid, in a movie that is literally synonymous with the early 2000’s era of comedy. We are talking light racism,Continue reading “National Lampoon’s Van Wilder (2002)”

Safety Not Guaranteed (2012)

Today’s movie is Colin Trevorrow’s early work, “Safety Not Guaranteed”. Basically, its a movie where a couple of journalists try to write a public interest story by dumping on what they think is a crazy guy who puts an add in the classified section. It features Aubrey Plaza, Mark Duplass, Jake Johnson, and a bunchContinue reading “Safety Not Guaranteed (2012)”

The Old Guard (2020)

Today’s “Sunday Streaming” entry is Netflix’s “The Old Guard”, a science-fiction/Fantasy/action movie that was stars Charlize Theron. As far as I can tell, this is a film about a bunch of immortal soldiers who fight global threats through the ages, kind of like the plot of “Highlander” if all the immortals from that movie teamedContinue reading “The Old Guard (2020)”

Daredevil (2003)

I am kind of excited for this one, not because the movie is any good, but because it is my first superhero movie I will be reviewing on this blog (I’m not counting “Project Power”). I enjoy superhero movies because, well… I watched cartoons growing up, and through those cartoons I gained some sort ofContinue reading “Daredevil (2003)”
