Ant-Man Review

Preface

This is gonna sound super obscure, but this movie reminded me of the planning scene from Guardians of the Galaxy (where they’re planning out the final attack) mixed with Sam Raimi’s first Spider-Man.
Yeah… That!

Premise

So Ant-Man is the newest Marvel movie about the relatively unknown Marvel superhero Ant-Man.
In this movie, Scott Lang is this criminal who got thrown in prison for burglarizing a couple places, but ultimately he’s a good guy who means well.
And Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man, has been scouting Scott to be his Ant-Man successor and to ultimately take down this organization that’s been exploiting Pym’s work.
And ultimately it blends humor with action with Marvel references and has these great characters that make the movie flow.

X-Men: Days of Future Past Review

Preface

Alright guys, the first X-Men movie came out 15 years ago today and while I could do a review on that one (and eventually I will), I thought I’d talk about my favorite in the series thus far and the legacy that it’s ultimately created for itself up to this point!
So not only as my favorite X-Men movie, but also as my favorite movie of 2014, one of my Top 20 Movies Ever, and one of the movies that got me started with this blog, let’s discuss!
And I’ll have a Review of the “Rogue Cut” out to you guys in a couple days too, I bought that today and will watch it in the next couple days.

Preface

So guys, sometimes there are some movies or some trailers that I get to see and I’m so psyched after I see them, I just can’t wait to talk about them, get home and write a review and tell you guys to all go see them!
This is basically the opposite of that situation…
My God.

Preface

Project Almanac is one of those January movies that I wanted to see, but didn’t really get a chance to because I was catching up on all the Oscar movies.
But also, all I knew was that a trailer for this thing played before Anchorman 2 and it was getting PUSHED. BACK.
Which probably wasn’t a good sign…
Luckily this thing wasn’t a complete disaster though.
(It still wasn’t great.)

Premise

So Project Almanac is a found-footage sci-fi movie about this group of high school seniors who discover that their group leader’s dad was a scientist developing a time machine.
And the movie is very split in almost every area, which I’ll explain specifically in each section.

Preface

So the other day I was looking through the list of movies I had seen thus far in 2015 and despite all the bad buzz a lot of movies had gotten, I realized that I haven’t seen many AWFUL movies.
I’ve seen four movies so far that I would qualify as my Top 4 of the Year, as of now, and I’ve seen MANY mediocre, average, and meh movies.
A LOT of those.
But now there are two movies (including this one) that I can successfully say are pretty terrible…
Not as bad as I thought though!
