Review| Batman Forever
Riddle me this, riddle me that, what happened to the dark, gothic bat? Quite simply, I did. Looking back now it might seem like a huge leap to go from the brooding, bleak noir tones of Tim Burton’s Batman and…
Review| Batman Returns
I have strange, sometimes conflicting, memories of Tim Burton’s Batman movies and Batman in general. The only exposure I ever received to the Caped Crusader as a child and young adults were the pre-Nolan movies and both the Adam West-starring…
Review| Batman
Flash back to 1988, the beginning of my senior year. People magazine did a very small article about Tim Burton doing a new bigger budget movie… BATMAN!!! My geek-ness kicked in full gear. Understand I loved the reruns of the…
Review| Superman Returns
I imagine that when people say “I’m going to watch Superman tonight!” they are never referring to Superman Returns (I also doubt they are referring to Superman III, but that isn’t what this review is about). Honestly, from the first…

Review| Superman
Even as a lifelong, avid fan of Superman and, therefore, an admittedly biased interpreter of all things related to the Man of Steel, I have no problem admitting that Richard Donner’s 1978 flick is a movie that shouldn’t work. The…
Review| 10 Cloverfield Lane
The surprising drop of a trailer for 10 Cloverfield Lane left me smiling. There is no one when it comes to keeping secrets and playing his hand perfectly than Bad Robot Productions’ devious mastermind and owner, J.J. Abrams. In a…
Agent Carter: S02E10 – Hollywood Ending
It seems clear now that this season of Agent Carter would have been better served by following the eight-episode arc of the first season. This one often felt contrived and dragged on without much payoff. For a grand finale that…
Review| Eddie the Eagle
I have to start with an admission; I’m a sucker for underdog movies. Eddie the Eagle is an inspirational film. It, however, is not a film where you say…”I didn’t see that coming!”. It plays out the way you think…
