I was in the mood for a seemingly good film this week, so I skipped 50 Shades and opted for this one instead. Gary “Eggsy” Unwin (played by Taron Egerton) is an at-risk youth headed down the wrong path. With no father figure due to his dad’s death while secretly working for a spy organization, trouble has a way of finding him. However, agent Harry Hart (played by Colin Firth)…

Since Kate’s connection to Roland has come out into the open,…
Seventh Son Review
I saw the trailers for this going “Oh is that Prince Caspian in a new movie? Indeed it is! He doesn’t get enough work, I say!” Though this movie didn’t look like it was breaking any new ground, I figured I’d give it a try anyway. Dark Magic rears its ugly head in this fantasy adventure. Decades ago Supernatural champion Master Gregory (played by Jeff Bridges) imprisons witch Mother Malkin…
Jupiter Ascending – Descending is more like it…
I guess they thought throwing the Wachowski name on this film would hype it up as if we were in for some real quality. But I didn’t forget about Matrix 2 and 3 (while the original remains one of my favorite films of all time). And then pushing this film back didn’t inspire much hope either. Even still, I was curious about what they’d do with a film carrying a $175 million price tag. Jupiter…

The Boy Next Door – An R-Rated Lifetime Movie!
Let’s just call a spade a spade here? This film is J. Lo’s vanity project. Even still I was eager to see it, ready to laugh at it for all the wrong reasons. They can’t all be good, right? High school teacher Claire Peterson (played by Jennifer Lopez) learns there’s something a bit more sinister behind the pretty face of her seemingly charming and irresistible new neighbor, Noah (played by…
