Community Review

Posted on by John Hayeck

In every sense of this statement, I believe Community is the greatest show to ever air on television, period. Yes Breaking Bad is the second best, and I’ll review that eventually, but really, Community is the greatest show of all time in my opinion. And here I am, setting enormous expectations, to convince you guys to go watch it!

So Community is a show that aired on NBC and was really the comedy to compete with. In a time where network television comedies were totally flatlined, seeing a show that was as original and creative as this one can just be so refreshing. This was of course at a time right after the first season, where the show wasn’t completely off-the-rails and NBC didn’t cancel any show with more than one episode. But let’s examine Season 1 to start, and why the show’s premise can be captivating.

So I wasn’t even gonna do a post today, but then I realized I really wanted to talk about Interstellar.

Guys I am excited for this movie. It’s Christopher Nolan, how can I not be! I’ll be discussing the first official trailer for this movie, the two and a half minute one, not the one minute teaser that is just a Matthew McConaughey voice-over.

How I Met Your Mother Review

Posted on by John Hayeck

How I Met Your Mother does a great job of combining its two central themes: romance and hilarity. I wish I could do as good a job combining my two central themes about it: appreciation and distaste.

Following that, I will start off by saying: this is a very good show, a great show even. It had its missteps though, and I’ll get to those. First, I’ll discuss the elements of the show that work. What really sells How I Met Your Mother is the cast and the premise.

The Fault in Our Stars Review

Posted on by John Hayeck

So it seems like every year we get a new over-hyped piece of entertainment. In 2011 it was Twilight, 2012 was The Hunger Games, 2013 was Breaking Bad and 2014 is The Fault in Our Stars.

Before I review the movie, some background. I wasn’t one of the die hard fans walking into this. I read the book, and thought it was decent. It wasn’t the Bible Sequel by any means, which is what most teenage girls will describe it to you as, but it’s a solid novel. However, I was kind of hoping the hype was false and the movie wouldn’t do well so I could prove that hype isn’t always good hype. I did say to two or three of my friends reading this: if for some reason it’s good, I will admit I was wrong. Here I am: guys, I was SOOOOOOOO wrong.  Guys, this movie is fantastic!
