Spotlight Review

Review

So Spotlight is a new investigative journalism movie starring Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, John Slattery, and others.
And it’s about this Boston Globe team that’s investigating some of the Church scandals in the Boston area and the politics/psychology behind them all.
And despite some issues, I’d say this is a pretty solid movie overall.

Creed Review

Preface

I’d just like to take a minute and say how awesome advanced screenings are.
I don’t get to many advanced screenings, but tonight I got to see the Rocky spinoff “Creed” TWO FULL WEEKS before it comes out!
And that’s pretty awesome.
- As always, this review is Spoiler-Free, which makes sense, seeing as the movie is still a while away.

Also, I wasn’t a huge Rocky fanboy going into this.
I had seen the first one, but that was it.
Creed, however, stands on its own, though continues to entertain fans of the franchise.
And it’s really, really good.

Preface

The Peanuts Movie was actually one of my most anticipated movies for all of 2015.
I had faith in this movie!
And I was not let down. This movie was SO adorable and cute.

Preface

Hello everybody!
Today is awesome for 2 reasons:
- Reason 1: I get to talk about three of my favorite movies.
- Reason 2: It’s Back to the Future Day!
Back to the Future Day, as I’m calling it, is October 21^st 2015, the day on which Marty McFly arrived in 2015 in Back to the Future Part 2.
- My local theater is playing all three back-to-back-to-back tonight and I’m looking forward to seeing that!
In honor of Back to the Future Day, instead of reviewing Back to the Future Part 2, or the original, or trying to review both, I thought it would be cooler if I did a mini-review for each in the trilogy.
That way, I can talk about what makes each one work, talk about each one’s cultural significance, and not feel like it’s too short or vague of a post!
So without any further ado, let’s get started with one of the Best Movie Trilogies Ever Made!

Preface

Man, it has been a WHILE since we’ve done some TV talk here on My Movie Thoughts!
And there IS a reason for that.
Movies are great, they’re my favorite thing. Movies are also easy, they’re much less time-consuming.
TV takes a lot of time to watch. If I’m reviewing a bad movie, I just have to sit through for 90 minutes or two hours, then rant about it, and go back to the theater the next week to hopefully see something better.
With TV, I’m not gonna sit through something for 6-10 seasons if it’s mediocre just to do a review. (Unless that show is Parks and Rec, ohhhh burn!) Unless I hear great things and enjoy the first few episodes, then I’m not gonna spend my time on it, when I could be watching a bunch of movies or hanging out with my friends instead.
But…. There are still a few shows that I do watch on a week-by-week basis. The Walking Dead, and Better Call Saul.
Arrow hasn’t elevated to that category yet because I binged Seasons 1 and 2 during November of last year, and Season 3 was already about halfway over and I didn’t feel like catching up til it was on Netflix.
Well today, Season 3 is on Netflix, so here are my thoughts on a show that I DO definitely recommend you spend your time on!
- I’ll start watching Season 3 tonight then immediately regret everything I’m about to say…
