Released: March 14, 2014. Directed by: Scott Waugh. Starring: Aaron Paul, Dominic Cooper, Imogen Poots. Runtime: 132 min.

Brief-ish Recap of 2013’s Movies So Far

2013 has been a decent year for movies, and it's improving in both quality, and in regards of box office earnings. And I think it can only get better from here, at least in terms of quality. So far, I've seen 36 movies that have been released in 2013, and I've missed quite a few …

Box Office Predictions: ‘Despicable Me 2’ to crush ‘The Lone Ranger’

Despicable Me is one of those universally loved movies. It's charming, entertaining, heartfelt, and hilarious. Since Monsters University showed that families are willing to spend good amounts of money on animated flicks, Despicable Me 2 is in great condition.

May 29 – June 2 Box Office Predictions: ‘After Earth’, ‘Now You See Me’

              After Earth might do pretty well this weekend, but it also might suffer under the shadows of summer blockbusters. Those who see it will be seeing it for Will Smith, I'd think. No one's going to say "I'm seeing this for M. Night Shymalan because he's been on …

Fast and Furious Franchise Recap (2001-2013)

As you may have noticed, I've reviewed the entire Fast and Furious franchise so far in the past week and a bit. I thought I'd make a post for all the reviews, and only take my best one or two thoughts on each movie, in case you don't have time to read every review. Here we …

Fast & Furious 6 (2013)
