On this journey he must find a cure for himself before things start to escalate amongst this conflict had with Ross and company. In my youth this was actually one of the movies that surprisingly made me fall more in love with the comic book genre. I do remember watching it quite a number of times and that was probably due to the fact that this, Iron Man , Batman Begins , The Dark Knight , Raimi's...

It's not until his return home that he figures out him in his suit can mean a lot more for himself by protecting the good of all humanity and to end a scheme by a colleague who's conspiring against him. I remember friends of mine buzzing about this movie during it's release in May of 2008 and considering I wasn't in the superhero craze at the time I didn't really see the big deal. Once I finally saw it months later I enjoyed it at the time, but I really let it sync in and watched it again and again and again. All I can say is, boy, do I understand the hype...

FAVORITE FILMS OF 2017 - PART 2

Hi everybody! Here's Part 2 of my list where I break down my absolute favorites of 2017 in a top 20 list because this year was just THAT good! If you want to catch up on Part 1 of the list being #'s 20-11, click here . But without further here are MY TOP 10 FAVORITE FILMS OF 2017... #10 War for the Planet of the Apes proves you can still have quality film trilogies in this day and age and you can end them on a high note. The character development for Caesar throughout all three films was so perfectly handled and probably one of my new favorite character arcs of all time. This movie finishes that arc out well and Andy Serkis continues to prove that a performance such as this deserves all the attention in the world including an Oscar nomination. It was a never-ending emotional rollercoaster that had some really unforgettable visual storytelling and great tension-filled moments between the antagonist portrayed by the always fantastic Woody Harrelson. It ...

FAVORITE FILMS OF 2017 - PART 1

Well guys, it's crazy to think that 2018 is already here and there are a lot of exciting films to look forward to, but of course to cap off talking about 2017 movies I still have to discuss with you 'My Favorite Films of 2017.' There was definitely a lot to choose from! A lot of great surprises and I wasn't really expecting this year to be as good as it was. This has been one of my favorite years in all of cinema and what I found so crazy about the films I fell in love with this year are that the films on this list I'll find myself watching over and over again because they're just that good. They'll end up being my favorite films of all time and make me feel so privileged to be living as a film fan in this day and age. For the record I didn't get to see every film that released this past year and if I did try to catch up on almost every movie so late in the game, there'd be no point to post this list later in the month. But here we go these are M...
