In 2013, our main Doppelganger films were Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down. The former was mostly serious with some jokes, the latter, full on action comedy in the middle of summer. And you know what? I liked both of them. They had their charms and were unique enough from each other that I …

Gods Of Egypt
As a ancient history major, I also love me some good mythology. The stories people used to tell are just as important as what those people actually did. They tell us so much about the culture, how they thought, what they valued, and how they were raised. Gods of Egypt looks to not celebrate any …

Coriolanus
Coriolanus gets the disctinction for being another movie that took me a long ass time to watch. It came out roughly the summer of 2012, and I got it then too. Just. Never. Watched it. Shit, my parents watched it right away, and somehow I just forgot about it. Well, the opportunity came up for …

Olympus Has Fallen
As you all know, I am a patriotic American, so if there is a movie out there that will increase my patriotism, by golly, I will see it! Not that I needed any more convincing to see Olympus Has Fallen. I love a lot of the actors in this movie, even though certain male leads …

Movie 43
The thing I love most about Movie 43 is how easy it will be to review. I mean, part of the point is not knowing much about the movie ahead of time before you see it. So I don’t have describe all the skits, just the main plot that tries to hold it all together. …

Chasing Mavericks
Miraculously, Chasing Mavericks is not a story about John McCain and his quest for presidential glory. Nor is this about an unbranded calf (definition on google). Apparently it is a local Californian term for a mythical giant wave that actually occurs somewhere near Santa Cruz! Ah yes, the legend of the big wave. Only the …

The Ugly Truth
The Ugly Truth About Cats and [Slum]Dog Million Dollar Baby Geniuses. Sorry, I just meant to write the review title, but it just kept flowing. What do those movies even have in common? Practically nothing. What a nonsensical intro! Oh! Like how every RomCom is nonsensical in that these attractive women apparently have such crazy …

Gamer
Gamer reminds me of Surrogates, in that both featured a way to control another “person” in a different environment. In Surrogates, everyone had one, and they weren’t real people. In Gamer, they can control actual human beings! Why? For games of course. Which is what I imagine Sims 4 will be like. But seriously. Michael …
