Here is a follow up to a movie that I had enjoyed. It is hard not to enjoy a movie with Denzel Washington as your star. The film is a great stand alone film and you will need no prior knowledge going into the film. There are minor references to the first film but it…
Ant-Man and the Wasp
I was looking forward to another heist film set with superheroes. The first Ant-Man was such a change of pace and I love how within the Marvel studios they have seemed to make some of their films sub-genre films. For example, Ant-Man was a heist film, Winter Soldier was a political Thriller. This follow up…
Incredibles 2
This is a Film that should have gotten a green light way before we ever got a Cars 2 or 3 or that planes one they did. We pick up with our Incredible family as superheroes have been outlawed. Through a series of events Elastigirl is pick to help change that. We watch as Mr….
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was a movie that all kids (now adults) from the 90’s should have been looking forward to. It was the follow up to a movie that brought life back into the Jurassic Park franchise. Following the first Jurassic World, I was excited to see where they could take these new characters….
Deadpool 2
The Merc with the mouth is back for his second stand alone movie and I could not be more excited to dive into the fun. The first film was so refreshing and new and showed how much fun you can have with a character like this. Well, Deadpool 2 continues with the same feel of…
Avengers Infinity War
Marvel continues to prove to you that they are a powerhouse in the film industry. They know their properties so well and continue taking risks with every film. They took a risk with taking all of their characters and making them work together in one cohesive film. I was looking forward to seeing how they…
Blockers
This Film was one that had a very funny premise and with a cast that looked like we could get something special. However, when it came down to the end credits in the theater, it felt a little short and was just another middle of the road comedy that missed on many levels. I wanted…
Ready Player One
Ready Player one was a film that I was trying to avoid seeing very much advertisement for as I wanted to go in with a no expectation or knowledge of the story. It was the first film in a long time that was a pure movie experience. I have not been able to do this…
Tomb Raider
Tomb Raider was in need of a reboot in both the gaming world as well as on the big screen. We got an amazing reboot of the game that landed with its audience and I believed could easily be transferred to the big screen if all the pieces started to align. The first bit of…
Black Panther
Black Panther is a film that I was really looking forward to because one of my favorite actors was finally stepping out of a heroic role and into a role as a villain. In addition, I did enjoy our first look at the Black Panther in Captain America: Civil War so I wanted to see…

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
This film is one that I wasn’t sure we needed as the original was such a big part of my childhood. But, as more information was released about the film it gauged my interest. For example, the fact that this isn’t a direct sequel or a reboot of the original peaked my interest more and…
Pitch Perfect 3
Here we are for a third time around Pitches. I don’t know about you but there has been something special about these films for me. They are always a good time in the theater and they seem to grow every time I see them. This is something that could have easily gone stale with the…
Daddy’s Home 2
I was surprised that this film was coming out. I thought that the first one ended on a good note and we had explored all we needed to with these characters. However, it seems that there was a need to extend the story. Usually, I like the combo of Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, but…
Thor Ragnarok
It’s time for the third installment for the Thor series. The Thor series has been underwhelming up to this point but after all of the marketing I have seen, it seems they have brought new life into this franchise. They brought it all together in this film! Think of them having a melting pot and…
Dunkirk
Dunkirk is a great historical moment. It was nice to see this story brought to the big screen. But, to be completely honest, I wanted more from this film. There was no sense of attachment to the characters in this film and we only got a glimpse at the actual event. The film was flat…
War for the Planet of the Apes
War for the Planet of the Apes is the third and what seems to be the final movie in the series as we finish of the story of Caesar. While this is the final chapter it is not the most action packed of the films. The film turns out to be more of a character…
Spider-man Homecoming
Spider-Man Homecoming had a big hill to climb with this being the third reboot in fifteen years. I was one who was feeling a little bit of spidery fatigue. However, I believe that Tom Holland will have people coming out to see what he can do. I believe he has breathed new life into this…
Baby Driver
Baby Driver is a spectacle from the opening credits to the end credits. The film is a wonderful example of the narrative and characters coming together in just the perfect mix. There is really no fat on this film. Every scene drives the story forward. This is the way a heist film should be and…
Wonder Woman
She has finally made it to the big screen! A film that generations of fans have been waiting for is finally here. The were a lot of eyes on this film, as the track record with the new D.C. universe has not had the best start. Films such as Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad…
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
Pirates of the Caribbean has been a franchise that I have loved for a long time. The reviews on the series have been mixed and I myself cannot say that the series is great as a whole. What I can say is that this franchise has some of the best characters out there with depth…
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Well, James Gunn has done it again. We have gotten more of what we loved in the first film. The characters that we have learned to love were more flushed out in this sequel. There was a little more comedy peppered in to this one, but it was wonderfully used. They pick up answering…
Power Rangers
Power Rangers brings back a ton of nostalgia for my generation. As a 90’s kid, Power Rangers was always a big part of after school and Saturday mornings for me. There have been a lot of rumblings concerning this film as to how it would be received by a mass audience. However, I believe that…
