The Martian Review: Since it Won Best Comedy

Okay, so I would have written this review even if The Martian hadn’t won anything at the Golden Globes, but it made for a more interesting title. I wasn’t able to watch The Martian in theaters. I don’t even remember a theater near me getting it, but maybe I just missed it. I had a friend who loved the book, he’s a biologist and while not a botanist, he was super excited by the whole farming on Mars aspect, but he had told me the main character was pretty funny so he hoped the movie would be funny. Now that being said the movie does have funny moments, Matt Damon as Mark is pretty good at bringing the humor, but I honestly don’t think this is a comedy. Sci-fi drama, sure, but a straight up comedy, I don’t think so. Continue reading “The Martian Review: Since it Won Best Comedy”

A Trip to Suburbia in my Suburbanite Review

Have you ever watched a movie and not known exactly what to make of it? That happened to me this weekend when I watched the movie Suburbanite. I hadn’t heard of the movie until I saw a preview for it at work, sometimes working at a video store leads to some very unexpected finds. It seemed like an interesting thriller so I grabbed it. Once I started watching it the movie really wasn’t what I expected. I can’t really review it without getting spoilery so let’s get to it.

Stop Everything and Go Watch Trainwreck

I had the pleasure and surprise to watch the movie Trainwreck a while ago when a friend had rented it from the RedBox. We knew it was an off color, raunchy comedy and that it had funny lady Amy Schumer and wrestler/sometimes actor John Cena in it. Within the first thirty minutes I thought for sure that I would wet my pants from laughing so hard. Keep reading to see my review! Continue reading “Stop Everything and Go Watch Trainwreck”

Reviewing the Work of the#LASlasher

I honestly had never heard of the movie L.A. Slasher until I saw it at work, video stores can be very useful for finding random things you never knew you wanted to see. The movie revolves around social media, mostly Twitter, and on people obsessed with fame. My review has all the details, don’t worry I won’t spoil it for you.
