Best of 2015

 by Kyle Armstrong


15. Carol: Carol is visually stunning with a script that is brilliantly written. I really wanted this to make it into my top 10, actually, I had it in my top 5 for awhile, but had to move things around. I love its recurring visuals and elements that really build up this film. I…

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Spoiler analysis and thoughts)

by Kyle Armstrong

     Again, if you have yet to see the movie, watch it, because it is worth seeing it instead of finding out through some scumbag. Decided to wait a week, after most have seen it and wanted to talk about it as a whole. Last time I discussed Star Wars, I said Return of the Jedi did…

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

 by Kyle Armstrong

     The darkest film in the franchise, as well as my favorite film in the franchise (after the Christmas special, of course). This is the film where we learn that Vader is partially human, we see the back of burnt scalp, and we learn Vader is a puppet of the Empire. On Dagoba…

Plan 9 from Outer Space

 by Kyle Armstrong

      This is a very popular movie to hate, but I just don't understand it's title of "the worst film of all time". It is fun to point out its flaws (the many that it has), however, this is more of the worst film that the viewer had seen (in which he probably hasn't seen many)…

Zombies Ate My City!

     It was last Halloween that Leo ran my story about zombie movies, Return of the Living Dead and the doomed city where it was supposedly set.  Well I thought this October, I would give people a chance to read my full piece - a slightly longer and more personalized version of this undead tale.…

Best Games For Marvel Geeks 2015

 

     Best Games For Marvel Geeks 2015 has yet to see the release of a console system video game based on Marvel comics, and the only such game that appears to be on the way is another animated LEGO crossover. And according to Super Hero Hype, even that game, LEGO Marvel's Avengers, has been…

Understanding Birdman. Analysis.

by Kyle Armstrong

     I listened to many theories and generated my own. I have heard people perceive this entire movie as a dream or an illusion and his powers not being used to the full potential. Is this a work of Dadaism using reality and the perception of reality as its gateway to a meta…

Kingsman: The Secret Service

by: Kyle Armstrong

This is a movie not afraid to pay homage to the great action and spy mystery films, imagine London's Expendables, if the Expendables were actually good. It expresses its love to the Bond movies, but the more later Bond films, think more Pierce Brosnan, and if they were directed…

The Best of 2014


by: Kyle Armstrong

Before starting this list let me say I have not seen all the films I should've for this list, I have yet to see Inherent Vice and I made this list before watching Snowpiercer, so consider this a list of the best of 2014 at this moment and just before the pretentious Oscar sho…

The Worst of 2014

 by Kyle Armstrong

10. Single Mom's Club: Not only is this a badly written, badly directed mess, but it is also ugly to look at. The editing is probably one of the worst editing jobs I have seen all year, sometimes they appear in rooms together randomly, when they aren't in a room together at all…

Coming in 2015...

       by Kyle Armstrong

With the year of 2015 just starting, there is much to look forward to, whether it is the return of a beloved franchise or the continuation of one whole universe. Coming out of such a good year for film, with films like Whiplash, Birdman, and Force Majeure, I am ready fo…

The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance

by Kyle Armstrong   

     Birdman has to be one of the best movies I have seen so far this year. Birdman works with a psyche level to it. By the way, have I mentioned that this movie has perfect timing? In the midst of comic book to movie adaptations, what happens after that kind of fame? And who…

The Equalizer

by Kyle Armstrong

     A man, with a barely minimum wage job, befriends an underage prostitute and because he has a good heart, he locates her pimps to take justice into his own hands and become an underground crime fighter. Now the plot I just described is not the plot for the movie Taxi Driver

Nightcrawler

by Kyle Armstrong

     Seeing Jake Gyllenhaal back in that weird, dark, edgy character archetype makes me feel a little better seeing him again. I have always been reluctant towards Gyllenhaal's acting and after seeing Nightcrawler I kind of get why. Gyllenhaal has been cast into these boring …
