Movie Review: The Last Witch Hunter

Well, it is 2015, that means we are due for another Breck Eisner movie. Why, you ask? It seems he is on a five year cycle. His first film was 2005’s Sahara, he followed that with 2010’s remake of The Crazies, and now, in 2015, we get The Last Witch Hunter. It is also notable for being Vin Diesel’s first new character since 2008’s Babylon A.D. (I don’t count Guardians of the Galaxy). Knowing the big two names involved will lead you to the next question: is it any good? This is where things get decidedly fuzzier. It is not a simple answer, at least not for me.

Movie Review: Kingsman - The Secret Service

When I first saw a trailer for Kingsman: The Secret Service, I was not sure what it was going for; however, seeing that Matthew Vaughn was listed as director, I was certainly interested. The guy has a solid track record, with movies like Layer Cake, Stardust, Kick-Ass, and X-Men: First Class on his resume. The big question going in was what he would bring to this. No, I was not aware of the comic book origins, but it seems to make sense with the over top nature of the tale. It strikes me as a blending of movies like Layer Cake and Kick-Ass, with the result being a spy movie and superhero movie being rammed into each other.

Movie Review: Interstellar

All right, I am going to warn you right up front that this is not going to be a full review, but considering what my writing schedule will be for the next week, I figured I should get something down before I can't write anything at all. With that said, I am not sure what is about to come from my fingertips, but should be spoiler free. The movie in question, of course, is Interstellar, the latest cinematic excursion courtesy of Christopher Nolan, a filmmaker I have become a big fan of ever since discovering Memento, a movie I am very happy to have seen in a theater. Over the years his movies have grown, gotten bigger, gotten bolder, and while opinions are generally split, they create conversation. Not a bad thing.
