9/30/2016

David: Before I start onto today’s post, I’m going to wander off a bit (as I typically do). Right before we move onto our special Halloween month full of horrors, we are doing a movie that has some of its own little...

Shannon: Mississippi Grind follows two guys who obviously have a gambling problem. They just keep gambling, and gambling, and gambling... it's like the never ending movie. First off, I don't ...

David: Cancer is one of those things that is almost universal. Just about everyone has lost someone to cancer, or at the very least, had them sickened before beating it. Therefore, it’s only natural that we begin...

Shannon: This movie is so extremely sad. If you want to cry, this one is for you. It's just sad moment, after sad moment, after sad moment. Don't get me wrong, sometimes it's nice watching...

David: Not too long ago, we wrote a bit about The Big Short which focused on the housing crisis, and how the greed of Wall Street basically caused it to happen. From the trailer, I was not expecting a movie that was...

David: It’s a shame that we lose so many young actors. The events surrounding Yelchin’s death were rather confusing, and everyone seemed to just accept that a terrible thing had...

Shannon: I'm going to turn the tables on you here for this review of the movie Green Room. The difference from my other reviews is the fact that I loved the story itself, but everything...

[Double Feature] The Guardian

David: A tale as old as time – no not that one. It’s the tale of an older veteran of something training and passing on his love, knowledge, and respect to a younger, hot-headed, phenom...

Shannon: I am not the biggest fan of The Guardian. I wasn't the first time I watched it, and my original opinions have not changed after the second time. This movie follows young men who...

by David

by Shannon

David: Full disclosure: this was the last of the Hunger Games movies, and coincidentally, it was the only one that I hadn’t seen before watching them for this series of posts. After the dull, drabfest...

Shannon: Compared to all the other movies in this saga, Mockingjay Part 2 is definitely the most dark. After almost being killed, Katniss begins her struggle with Peeta and lets her vengeful...

[Double Feature] The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

by Shannon

David: Ah Hollywood. You take a wonderful series like LOTR (three books, three movies) and defame its legacy by making a Hobbit series (a one book, three movies). You stretch the final Harry Potter...

Shannon: The third movie The Hunger Games series takes place in District 13 - the forgotten district that once was destroyed by the Capitol for their uprising-worthy opinions and personalities...

by Shannon

David: Real life is hard. If there’s anything you learn as you grow up, that’s one of the main things. However, we tend to gloss over this as a society. It’s like no one truly wants to talk about...

Shannon: I don't think I have another thing to say about this series... Before Midnight is nine years after the second and Jesse and Celine are in Greece with their children. Guess he missed that...
