Source Exit Strategy was a difficult sit because of how hard it tries to be quirky and funny. The problem with this movie is that the actors aren't charismatic enough to make the movie work. The poor script and mediocre acting lead to some very flat performances and a film that is never funny. To make... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)
Source I've watched this movie a few times already, but even now forget what this movie is about. While I appreciate the attempt of bringing this older IP to a modern audience, it isn't a very good attempt. This is a Ninja Turtles' movie from the perspective of April. Instead of an action packed war... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
Source I love the novel this movie is adapted from. I rank it among one my favorite books and recommend it to anyone looking for a new book to read. Although the movie isn't completely true to the novel, it is a fantastic adaptation that you must watch. I do hold the novel a bit... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: The Longshots (2008)
Source The Longshots is another sports movie. While it isn't bad, if you've seen one sports movie, you've seen them all. Jasmine becomes the school's first female quarterback and the team goes from the worst in the league to the best. If you have time to kill, or like sports movie, it isn't a complete waste...

Movie Review: Apartment 1303 (2012)
Source You can watch Apartment 1303 for free on YouTube, but I wouldn't bother. The acting is terrible, the sound is bad, and the story isn't interesting. The movie focuses on two sisters who move into apartment 1303 to get away from a drunk and abusive mother. They live in this apartment at different times, but both... Continue Reading →
Movie Reviews: The Inherited (2016)
I didn't know Lifetime made horror movies, but here we have the oddest ghost story you probably shouldn’t watch. I had to take multiple breaks to get through this movie, and it wasn't worth it. The acting is very stiff and awkward. This kills all suspense; horror movies rely heavily on good suspenseful buildup. At... Continue Reading →
YouTube Movie Review: Tommy Boy (1995)
Source Tommy Boy remains a classic Chris Farley comedy. While it does suffer a bit from the ravages of time, it still holds up well. Sure, some of the jokes don't land, and the story is a little basic, but it is still a solid comedy that had me crying from laughter. It goes without saying,... Continue Reading →
YouTube Movie Review: Apartment 143 (2012)
Source I am not a fan of found footage movies. I don’t like the lack of structure. There are some exceptions to this, but unfortunately, Apartment 143 isn't one of them. Maybe I would have liked this movie if I could understand any of the conversations. In an odd artistic decision, the sound is recorded... Continue Reading →
YouTube Movie Review: The A Team (2010)
Source This movie is a lot of fun. It has explosions, some decent action, and fun characters. The story is a little lacking, but you aren’t watching this movie for the story. You are watching this movie for chases, explosions, and gunfights. Although some of the action falls flat because of the shaky-cam, it redeems... Continue Reading →
YouTube Movie Review: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (2005)
Source I read this book back in middle school and it is an experience that has stuck with me well into my adulthood. I loved this book, but I didn't get around to seeing the movie when it came out. I didn't have the money. When I did, I was afraid it would have ruined... Continue Reading →
