Spectre Review

Preface

So Spectre is the newest James Bond, 007 (that felt repetitive) adventure following hot off the heels of Skyfall.
I’m not a huge Bond nerd, I’ve seen a couple Connery movies, maybe one Brosnan movie, and Skyfall.
And I LOVED Skyfall. I saw it twice in the theater that movie was so good…
And Spectre was pretty decent. Not as good as Skyfall by a long shot, but decent.

Goosebumps Review

Goosebumps Review

Preface

So this review is a couple days late, but seeing as I did see Goosebumps on Halloween.
But seeing as this is the only late post I’ve done this year, I’d say I have a pretty good track record…

Premise

So Goosebumps is a movie based on the Goosebumps books and TV show from the ‘90s and early 2000s.
And in this movie, there’s this kid who looks EXACTLY like one of my friends.
And this kid who looks EXACTLY like one of my friends moves to a new town and he ‘befriends’ the girl who lives next door. And there’s kind of a relationship thing going on…
The only problem is that the girl’s dad is R.L. Stine, the writer of the Goosebumps books and the monsters from his books start accidentally getting out…
And now we have our movie!
Our surprisingly entertaining movie…?

Preface

Now guys, I was very disappointed in this movie for one reason.
I was the only one in the theater seeing it this morning, which is just illogical.
Because this is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen in my life, and one of the most important movies of this century so far.

Preface

Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks take on a political drama in the Cold War? Yeah, let’s watch this!

Preface

The Gift is a movie that I’ve wanted to see for more than a couple months now and I was not disappointed by it.
The Gift stars Jason Bateman, Rebecca Hall, and Joel Edgerton.
It was also written and directed by Joel Edgerton in his directorial debut. And it was a GREAT movie for a first time director.
And it’s about this couple played by Bateman and Hall who move to California and run into this weird guy Gordo (Edgerton) who went to high school with Bateman’s character. And after they start interacting with Gordo, some weird stuff starts to happen…
