Turbo Kid: An instant cult classic

Sean Koepfinger
September 4, 2015

Its not often I see indie films during their initial release but I recently had the pleasure of seeing Turbo Kid, and it was absolutely amazing.Turbo Kid, in a nutshell, is basically a gigantic nod to the 80s and cult films from that decade. Most notably is the similarities...

No Escape: Intensely average

No Escape: Intensely average

If I were asked to describe the movie No Escape in a single word, I would have to say what was going through my mind the entire film: Intense. Despite the slow and somewhat comedic start, this movie is not what I expected to see when I first saw the trailer. I thought it would...

[Best_Wordpress_Gallery id="17" gal_title="The best and worst of summer 2015"] The summer movie season doesn't officially end until Labor Day, but I don't see much on the movie horizon until then, so I decided to jump the gun and prematurely release a list of the best and...

After a fairly successful year with Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man, Marvel Entertainment finally did it. They finally made a bad movie. The not-so highly anticipated Fantastic Four opens up in theatres this weekend, with a select group of comic book fans hopeful that...

Vacation: A reasonable enough getaway

The original Vacation is a classic. The new Vacation is definitely not a classic, but it’s actually not bad either. Believe me; I’m as surprised as you are. Staring Ed Helms as grown up Rusty Griswold and Christina Applegate as his wife, Debbie, the new Vacation aims to...

July 23, 2015

I’ve used the word ridiculous to describe the last two movies I reviewed. For the sake of continuity, I’m making the word ridiculous the theme of this article as well. In Adam Sandler’s latest starring role, he play a nerd named Brenner, a former video-game prodigy turned...

Ant-Man: Good things do come in small packages

Ant-Man: Good things do come in small packages

Last week I saw the Minions movie, and it was absolutely ridiculous. This week, I saw Ant-Man, and while this movie is ridiculous too, it is ridiculous in all the right ways. Based off the Marvel comic of the same name, Ant-Man plays out as the story of ex-con Scott Lang’s...

Minions: Bad, even for villainous henchmen

If you were wondering, “Did they really make an entire movie out of the sidekicks from Despicable Me?” The answer is an unbelievable and unfortunate yes.   Minions is a movie all about those annoying little yellow creatures that, for some reason, people seem to be obsessed...

Magic Mike XXL: Abs-olutely appalling

Magic Mike XXL: Abs-olutely appalling

June 29, 2015

I recognize that I am not exactly the target audience for Magic Mike XXL. As a straight male, I’m probably the last person the producers want reviewing this movie. Nonetheless I did my duty as any good movie critic would and sat through two hours of men without shirts dancing,...

Ted 2: Bear-ly average

June 25, 2015

When Ted came out in 2012, I went to see it in theatres twice. A practice I normally reserve for only the best movies I see, I felt as if I needed a second glimpse at Seth MacFarlane’s R-Rated teddy just to catch all the jokes jam-packed in the film. I would easily consider...
