‘Civil War’ took the cake, here’s my review
This was the year that would test DC’s abilities against Marvel’s. Now it is fair to say that Marvel has had plenty of time to develop their audience and create backstories for their characters, DC has had one movie prior to “Batman v Superman,” which really only introduced characters from Superman’s side of the overall story. With that said, this year Marvel has so far absolutely crushed DC, which is sad for me to admit since I’m more of a DC fan.
‘Spider-Man 2’ is as good as it gets
Here we are with my review for “Spider-Man 2“, my second of three Spider-Man reviews that will lead us into our introduction to Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While I may not be a huge MCU fan, I am a big fan of Spider-Man and I can’t wait to see him in “Captain America: Civil War“.
‘The Jungle Book’ is an instant classic
Mark your calendars to remind yourself that this was the weekend that revolutionized the digital imaging within live-action films. Remaking the 1967 cartoon version of “The Jungle book” was a risky move by Disney. From the start, they must’ve realized the amount of post-production talent that they would need in order for the CGI to even be accepted. I myself would have never guessed that this movie would be the one to exceed the limit and break the barrier of 2009’s “Avatar”.
Classics Review: ‘The Shawshank Redemption’
My oh my, “The Shawshank Redemption” is a film like no other. Director Frank Darabont, who today is known for his previous work on “The Walking Dead,” and directing other movies based off of the books that were written by Stephen King. “The Shawshank Redemption” being one of them, and in my opinion, it is the best thing he’s ever done.
Classics review: ‘Forrest Gump’
The story of “Forrest Gump” isn’t one that will ever be forgotten. Following a character by the same name, played by Tom Hanks, who goes from a bullied kid to an unlikely hero. With the IQ of 75, just below the line to allow him into public school, Forrest will go on to change the world. By becoming a war hero, a millionaire and an inspiration to people around the nation, all before he reaches the age of 40.
