David: Sometimes I worry I’m not necessarily cut out for this movie review business. This isn’t because I don’t think I have...

Shannon: The second movie of the newest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, was pretty good in my opinion. It was full of action...

David: Is it any surprise that I loved the Ninja Turtles? They are (as stated in what I thought was a fumbled scene in the movie) 1)Teenagers 2)Mutants 3)Ninjas and 4) Turtles. Those can be four great things...

Shannon: Okay, so I really liked this movie. It was full of action, comedy, turtles, and science (mutagens and stuff). There are some things that I wanted to point out...

[Double Feature] Now You See Me

David: Geeky, nerdy revelation number 212 – As a kid, I was really into magic. Actually, that’s an understatement. I loved magic. Friends of mine can probably remember me putting on shows for them...

Shannon: Now You See Me is about MAGIC, well for the most part. Not magic like in Harry Potter, but magic as in we know it in real like. Tricks and illusions. Four magicians are chosen to conduct a...

[Double Feature] Now You See Me 2

David: I thoroughly enjoyed Now You See Me. I thought the idea, though slightly derivative of other movies, was fun, and I thought that the cast really brought it together. There was...

Shannon: After seeing the first movie, I was pretty stoked to see the sequel. The second movie, Now You See Me 2, has some similarities to the first movie but the story line is way different...

[Double Feature] Alice Through the Looking Glass

David: *Sigh* I’m a bit ashamed to admit that I was excited to see this movie. Though I definitely didn’t love the first one, I enjoyed enough of it to want to see more. But, after the first few minutes of this drab fest...

Shannon: Alice Through the Looking Glass started off very Pirates of the Caribbean-like. Alice is the captain of her father’s ship, The Wonder, and is trying to out run a pirate ship brigade. After...

David: Welcome to Sequel Week here at DoubleFeaturePreachers! We are going to give you multiple posts per day, just because we love you: a movie, and its recent sequel....

Shannon: The newest version of Alice in Wonderland is definitely unique. Starring Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, this film is full of strangeness. Would you expect...

[Double Feature] Scott Pilgrim vs the World

David: There truly are movies for everyone, and then there are movies that are a bit more niche. Before I begin to blast off and fly with all my compliments on Scott Pilgrim, I just want to warn readers that...

Shannon: I truly have no nice words for this movie. It was extremely immature: from the dialogue to the onomatopoeia "comic book" style scenes to just the premise of the movie itself. I...

[Double Feature] Timecrimes

by Shannon

David: Geeky fact number 192 – I love time travel stories. Roger Ebert also loved time travel movies, because he loved puzzles, even if it frustrated him (he stated he liked chess for the same reason). I feel...

Shannon: From looking at the cover of this movie, I was expecting it to be more of a horror movie. I quickly discovered that this was not the case. Timecrimes follows a man, Hector...

[Double Feature] Every Secret Thing

by David

by Shannon

David: There are not enough leading roles for women in film. Just look at our current superhero craze. Very few feature women prominently in roles that you could be proud of (indeed, even...

Shannon: *SPOILER ALERT* When Ronnie and Alice are just children they kidnap a baby and end up killing it. Every Secret Thing follows these two characters, now teenagers who have...

[Double Feature] Mad Max: Fury Road

by Shannon

David: I don’t think too many people thought that George Miller planned on making another Mad Max movie. If you would have polled 100 people prior to the movie coming out, then the general consensus...

Shannon: Well. This movie definitely had its fair share of explosions along with non-stop action. Mad Max: Fury Road describes a time after the world has gone to ruins, where there is hardly any water and...

[Double Feature] The Long Hot Summer

by David

by Shannon

David: I love older films. You can tell so much about different things by watching them. You can feel studio influence at a time when the owners of the studios literally “loaned” stars to others...

Shannon: The Long, Hot Summer is based off William Faulkner's book with the same title. It follows a young woman, Clara, whose father owns most of the town in which they live and her family...

[Double Feature] Zootopia

by Shannon

David: Are animated films for kids or for adults? The answer for the good ones is easy: both. That’s why Inside Out is so good. However, that’s not to say there aren’t animated films that are only made...

Shannon: I had heard up until watching this movie that it was absolutely fabulous, and it was pretty good. I didn't like it as much as some of the other Disney/Pixar films, but it still made...
