Movie Review – Gravity
I enjoyed Gravity, but didn’t love it. I’m not going to grade the movie on its scientific accuracy because if I did, it would get a D, at best. Instead I’ll only consider the story aspects.

Movie Review – Riddick
—
Pitch Black is one of my favorite movies ever, and I’m a little uncertain how I feel about Riddick. First off, I can easily say that it isn’t as good as the original — but that’s a very high standard to be compared to. The best thing I can say about Riddick is that it’s…

Movie Review – Iron Man – Genius, Philanthropist, etc who started it all
This is the movie that started it all for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it still holds up after all this time. In fact, knowing the character arc of Tony Stark (at least up to the end of Infinity War) makes this first movie even better. Not many franchises can say that. Those doubts about…
