Movie Review: Now You See Me 2
NYSM2 is a solid and interesting follow up to the original, though not quite as successful. There’s nothing wrong with it per se; the worst complaint I could levy against it is that it’s a little repetitive in its structure and villains, and lacks a jaw dropping plot twist like the original had.
Review: Kubo and the Two Strings
Kubo is a great and moving story, but it’s too relentlessly dark and grim for my tastes.
REVIEW: “Dark Matter” by Blake Crouch
Finding a decent science-fiction novel can be a daunting task. With so many substyles flooding the genre, it is not surprising to find that many stories focus on creating elaborate aliens and starships rather than fleshing out the actual “science” of their particular world. Dark Matter, the new novel by Wayward Pines author/creator Blake Crouch, aims to remedy this by putting “science” back in to the genre in a believable and meaningful way. In doing this, Crouch creates one of the most satisfying and mind-bending novels of recent years.
Review: Angry Birds Movie
Well, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
REVIEW: Alice Through the Looking Glass
Just in case you think I'll like anything, I did not like this movie. I was not a huge fan of the first one. It certainly had some impressive visuals, but they were also extremely cartoonish CGI. And the story just wasn't that interesting. It was a very vanilla...
REVIEW: TMNT Out of the Shadows
If you can look past all that and enjoy it on a superficial child-like level, it’s pretty entertaining.
REVIEW: Warcraft
While it certainly had some problems I found it to be a pretty enjoyable experience.
REVIEW: Finding Dory
Dory is a solid and satisfying follow up to that classic, only falling short of it by a hair.
REVIEW: Independence Day Resurgence
While not as good as the original, the sequel is a magical walk down nostalgia lane.
REVIEW: Ghostbusters (2016)
The modern day she-boot unfortunately fails to hit that combination, but remains an entertaining watch.
REVIEW: Star Trek Beyond
Star Trek Beyond is about as good as those first two, but stands just a tad behind them.
REVIEW: Suicide Squad
For the first time in the new DCEU, there was a sense of fun and excitement.
