Movie Review: Star Wars Episode VII The Force Awakens (2015)



JJ Abrams didn't fuck it up (not like anybody could fuck it up any worse than George Lucas did, mind you). We can rest easy my fellow Star Wars fans.

Movie Review: Jurassic World (2015)


Is it Jurassic Park? Hell no, but Jurassic World knew it wasn't. And it's still a good movie in it's own right.

Disney Reviews: The Lion King (1994)




When it comes to popularity, the Lion King is the undisputed king of the Disney Canon.

Disney Reviews: Aladdin (1992)



What's one thing everyone remembers and/or loves about Aladdin above all others? I'm not too sure myself, but my best guess would be Robin Williams as the Genie.

Movie Review: Beauty and the Beast (1991)



If somebody told me that Beauty and the Beast is the best movie of the Disney Renaissance, or even the best Disney movie period, I would not argue with that.

Movie Reviews: The Rescuers Down Under (1990)


The Rescuers Down Under, the odd man out in the Renaissance Era of Disney.

Movie Review: Bambi (1942)




Bambi is the fifth and last movie of the Disney Golden Era, The one that chained Walt Disney's ambition for good (if not, it certainly helped).

Movie Review: Dumbo (1941)


When Fantasia and Pinocchio put Disney in a bad financial situation, in comes Dumbo in 1941 to save them from the brink. Though it really shows that it was merely a quick profit scheme. A good one, but still.

Movie Review: Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes


The sequel to 2011's Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. With Rise and now Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes under its belt, this reboot series has been quite impressive so far.

Movie Review: Fantasia (1940)


Walt Disney's third animated feature and by far his most ambitious, Fantasia is unlike any film in the entire Disney Chronology.

Movie Review: Pinocchio (1940)


Pinicchio, Walt Disney's Second Animated feature film. It's amazing what he could accomplish only three years after his first film.

Movie Review: Snow White And The Seven Dwarves



Walt Disney's first animated feature, and the very first feature lengthed animated film of all time, Snow White And The Seven Dwarves is probably Disney's most simple, one or two-dimensional film to date. Yet, it somehow gets away this is.

Movie Review: Godzilla (2014)




Godzilla might not be the Pinnacle Godzilla film as I predicted it would be, but it's gonna be my personal go-to Godzilla movie from now on.

Movie Review: The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre



Damn Bogie, you are scary in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Very unlike the reluctant hero you played in Casablanca. I ain't complaining though.

Movie Review: The Terminator


The Terminator, James Cameron's first big hit, the one that put him on the map and a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood. Back when he wasn't making stuff like Avatar.

Movie Review: Avatar (2009)


Fuck, this movie has probably been done to death already, but I'm going to give my thoughts on it.

When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand - and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora.
