Warcraft

When watching a movie like Warcraft, one can’t help but compare it to the best  fantasy films that have come before. Lord of the Rings is the natural standard bearer when it comes to great fantasy movies, but it really is unfair to compare the two. Lord of the Rings, while taking place in a…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows

I’m unabashedly a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fanboy, as anyone who’s seen my tattoo can attest to. The 1990 movie is as quality a movie as one could possibly ask for, the 2nd live action movie was dumb but still fun, the less said about the 3rd live action movie the better, but the cartoon…

Movie “Teasers”
