The Raven Nevermore indeed

By Jayson Burns
1.5/5 stars
In 1849, poet Edgar Allen Poe was found wandering the streets of Baltimore in a state of delirium, muttering the name Reynolds and wearing clothes that weren’t his. Four days later, he died from a yet-to-be determined cause. What happened to this esteemed poet? Well if The Raven is anything to go [...]

QuickFlick: The Lucky One

3/5 Stars
He didn’t know her name; he didn’t know her story; all he knew was that he was the lucky one. Starring Taylor Schilling as Beth Green and Zac Efron as marine Logan Thibault, The Lucky One failed to surpass the quality and intrigue of its two-minute trailer.
The story begins with Logan deployed in his third [...]

It’s Friday night, it’s date night, but what is there to go see? Some stupid comedy? No, she probably wouldn’t go for that. How about some sappy romance? Nah, odds are he wouldn’t go for that. Then what about a romantic comedy? Sure! But which one? How about a movie that takes the plot and [...]

Lockout: Space just got more exciting

3.5/ 5 Stars
They may not always be the most sophisticated pieces of cinematic art, but the explosive violence and gruff heroes of action movies hold a special place in the history of film. There have been many classics such as Escape from New York and Total Recall that have captured many hearts, and while Lockout isn’t quite [...]

If you’re looking for the perfect mix of chills, twists and laughter, than Joss Whedon’s The Cabin in the Woods is the movie for you. In an homage to classic horror movies as well as a humorous nod to the more campy parts, The Cabin in the Woods offers something for everyone.

American Reunion: Coming soon- American Retirement Home

2.5/5 Stars
Is it that time of the year again? Even though the film series hasn’t exactly grown like clockwork, it seems like it’s impossible to go a few years before another slice of American Pie is distributed to the public. This year, it’s an American Reunion, a movie that seems to be trying to give the [...]

QuickFlick: Mirror, Mirror

Mirror, mirror on the wall who’s the fairest of them all? It’s Snow White of course, but the queen doesn’t know that. Mirror, Mirror is based on Snow White by the Brothers Grimm except this movie takes a different approach to the original tale. Julia Roberts stars as Queen Clemmentiana who is scheming to remain in control of [...]

Wrath of the Titans: So much mythology, so little time

2.5/ 5 Stars

Two years ago, Warner Bros. gave us a remake of Clash of the Titans. It didn’t see much critical acclaim, and it all but threw Greek mythology out the window, but I thought it had fun action sequences and was set at a decent pace with likeable characters. While its sequel, Wrath of [...]

Casa de mi Padre: Me gusta

4/5 Stars
I didn’t exactly know what to expect walking into the latest Will Ferrell movie, Casa de mi Padre. While I generally like anything starring this crazy-pill popper, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the only thing this comedy was banking on was the fact that Will Ferrell will be speaking entirely in Spanish. Thankfully, this [...]
