Carrie (2013 Movie)
This was a completely unnecessary remake. When it began it showed Julianne Moore as Carrie’s mother, Margaret White, giving birth to Carrie and almost killing her immediately. That gave me hope that it might add a little more backstory to the movie from the book that the 1976 version left...
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
I read the book trilogy in about a week while the first movie was being filmed. I really enjoyed the first book, found the second one to be decent and thought the third book to drag on endlessly with a happy ending randomly tacked on as an epilogue. I...
Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa
I have never seen an episode of Jackass or any of the previous Jackass movies. I know what they are about, but I have just missed out on that part of society. I found that concept of Bad Grandpa hilarious though. Johnny Knoxville is dressed up like an 80-something...
Gravity
I saw this movie as it was intended in 3D IMAX so I would feel as if I was in space with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. The movie was quite impressive in that way. I never felt like I was watching a bunch of special effects. I felt...

Jon (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a guy who likes his routines. He goes to church and eats dinner with his family every Sunday, he works out, he goes dancing to pick up ladies, and he’s addicted to porn. He is caught up in the fantasy of the girls on the...
Insidious: Chapter 2
It picks up where the last movie left off with the family trying to get over what happened, but they are still connected to the spirit world. I found the first movie to be a decent scary movie. It did rip off a lot of the plot from...
In a World
A woman vocal coach tries to break into the cutthroat world of movie-trailer voiceovers that has only been a male profession. I never much thought about the voices in movie trailers. I knew there was one main guy. I also noticed that it was more varied in recent years,...
You’re Next
A family reunion turns into a home invasion of cute animal masks. Home invasion movies aren’t scary to me. Yes, I will jump from time to time, but it doesn’t stay with me like ghost stories or haunted house movies. I think why those scare me more is because...
The World’s End
Twenty years after attempting an epic pub crawl, a 40-year-old Gary King rounds up his high school friends so they can go back to their hometown and finish the Golden Mile. This would be the last part of comedy trilogy that started with the zombie satire Shaun of the Dead...
