Foxcatcher Review
As a fan of Olympic sports, I was looking forward to this one. This film is based on a true story centering around 1984 Olympic Champion Wrestler Mark Schultz and his quest to pursue another gold medal with the help of a new coach and sponsor, millionaire John du Pont. In his training for the 1988 games in Seoul, the presence of Mark’s revered brother and Olympic Champion, Dave Schultz…
Interstellar is Stellar!
Hey guys! My review can also be found at The Grand Shuckett for this film. A vulnerable earth with its people on the brink of extinction leads to a group of NASA explorers seeking out a newly discovered wormhole to find the next best viable planet for the people of earth. What I Liked: The best part of this film for me was that I went in with fairly low…
REVIEW + GIVEAWAY! The Getaway God (Sandman Slim, #6) by Richard Kadrey
Synopsis: Sandman Slim must save himself-and the entire world-from the wrath of some enraged and vengeful ancient gods in this sixth high-octane adventure. Being a half-human, half-angel nephilim with a bad rep and a worse attitude-not to mention temporarily playing Lucifer-James Stark aka Sandman Slim has made a few enemies. None, though, are as fearsome as the vindictive Angra Om Ya-the old gods. But their imminent invasion is only one…
Ouija Review
I did a guest review for my friends over at The Grand Shuckett for this one; however, I will post it here as well. Halloween is right around the corner! And with that comes a string of scary films opening in theatres. With Ouija receiving the most promotion this was an easy pick for me. The title of the film, Ouija, leaves little to the imagination of the general plotline….

After getting married, sometime later she passes away suddenly, and John is left to mourn her death. He gets an unwelcome distraction however after mobster heir Iosef Tarasov (played by Alfie Allen) and his friends steal John’s beloved car and then murder his puppy, a final gift from his wife….
No Good Deed Review
Plot: An unstable escaped convict terrorizes a woman who is alone with her two children. Review: There isn’t anything in particular that’s groundbreaking about the film. It was mostly predictable the whole way through. I think Idris Elba and Taraji P. Henson brought the star power, but they provided little else. That’s not to say that it doesn’t have its creepy moments. The film is suspenseful and the audience seemed…
Dracula Untold
This film takes us back to the 15th century. In Transylvania the prince of Wallachia, Vlad III (played by Luke Evans), rules the land in a fair and just manner. His goal is to protect his people and his family from the Ottoman Empire among other potential threats. He strikes a deal, however when Sultan Mehmed II (played by Dominic Cooper) requires 1,000 Wallachia boys (including Vlad’s son) for his…
