Captain America: Civil War Trailer Review

Posted on by John Hayeck

Preface

  • There is only one movie I’m currently looking forward to more than Star Wars. And that is CIVIL WAR!!!!
  • I’m a fan of the graphic novel, I love the premise of Iron Man as an antagonist, I can’t wait to see Spider-Man and Black Panther among others, yet still remain a Captain America Standalone. So naturally I’m excited.
  • And we just got our first trailer for Civil War, and it looks pretty sweet!

Spotlight Review

Posted on by John Hayeck

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

Posted on by John Hayeck

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.

Spectre Review

Posted on by John Hayeck

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.
