Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Insurgent, based on the book of the same name by Veronica Roth, is the sequel to 2014’s Divergent. From the trailers shown, I had hopes that the film would be better than the first. However, it ultimately falls short of expectations and represents a step back for the franchise.

Paranoid Park (R, 2007)
I didn’t really know what to expect when I first saw this movie on Netflix. The premise was serious, and kind of scary. I don’t know what I would do if I were in a situation where I had accidentally killed someone while doing something that …

Bruce Almighty Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey was brilliantly funny in this movie. He has always been one of my favorite actors and this movie just sealed it. It kind of made me think not to ever question God’s authority again. Jim Carrey plays a guy who is fed up with always being the …

Family Guy : Blue Harvest
Ever since Star Wars was filmed, several movies have attempted to spoof it with limited success. Who would have thought the best ever spoof comes from a television series I used to not even like.

It took me a while to realize how much I really love this movie. The story is very dark. The burnt amber tones in the film provide a sick feeling throughout the production. The killer, played by Javier Bardem was one of the most …

Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla
