Guardians Of The Galaxy: Hooked On (More Than) A Feeling (Movie Review)
Amidst a creative blend of eye-popping special effects (complete with Bradley Cooper’s CGI Rocket “I’m Not a Raccoon” and more battles than Star Wars and Star Trek combined) and poignant story lines about different individuals of various races seeking family … Continue reading

Open Grave: Sharlto Copley Vs The End Of The World (Movie Review)
This is not the kind of film I’d normally go looking for, but when I saw that it starred South African up-and-comer Sharlto Copley (District 9, Elysium, Maleficent), I had to give it a spin. It’s framed like a gritty “what is real?” reality … Continue reading

Snowpiercer: Escapist Train Hurtling Toward Hell (Movie Review)
Legend has it that South Korean director Bong Joon-ho stumbled across Jean-Marc Rouchette’s graphic novel, Le Transperceneige, about a perpetually-moving train that houses the remnants of the world’s population. Divided by class and perceived ‘worth,’ the train signifies the caste system … Continue reading

Star Wars: My Reflection
As part of our ongoing Summer Blockbuster series at HollywoodJesus.com, I signed up to write on Star Wars. But my exploration exceeded the length we were to write, and I ended up with a longer ‘dissertation’ that I share with you … Continue reading
The LEGO Movie: Grace Versus The Law (Movie Review)
This movie is awesome, Chris Pratt is awesome, the animation is awesome. It is self-reflective, self-deprecating, hilarious, and insightful. Given that Chris Lord and Christopher Miller have written and directed the kid flick Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and … Continue reading

Edge of Tomorrow: Dying To Live (Movie Review)
Doug Liman knows a thing or two about directing an action flick. Having served behind the camera for The Bourne Identity (the best of the series), Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and Jumper, he has that under his belt (he’s up for the Tom … Continue reading
Maleficent: Man Is Evil (Movie Review)
Angelina Jolie is spectacular as the misunderstood fairy/witch, Maleficent, and the special effects provide some dazzling visuals, but the overall package fails to replace or even compete with the original Walt Disney film Sleeping Beauty (1959). To be fair, the original is … Continue reading

A Million Ways To Die In The West: UndaunTED McFarlane Goes West
Seth McFarlane is a highly intelligent, clever, and often hilarious comedian, creator, and artist. Sure, he’s also crude, profane, and, at times, socially unacceptable, but if you’ve seen Ted (about Mark Wahlberg’s talking teddy bear friend) or the cartoon Family Guy, you’re aware. … Continue reading
