Batman V Superman was good and I’m sure Captain America fighting Iron Man will have its moments but Chuck and Jimmy’s rivalry is making it hard to blink for fear I’m going to miss something. It keeps getting better.

Better Call Saul, Season 2
Posted in Reviews!, Videos! with tags Better Call Saul, breaking bad, Chuck, review, Season 2 on 04/20/2016 by McCutcheonHardcore Henry (SPOILERS)
Posted in Reviews!, Videos! with tags Hardcore Henry, Movie reviews, review, Sharlto Copley on 04/09/2016 by McCutcheonHardcore Henry, aka The Six Million Dollar Man meets Crank, was great and it really made me want to let out my inner beast.
However, after the first try at making this video and being told that I can’t use everything I’d spent the last few hours on, I decided it’s better for me to calm down and spend some time with nature. And the highway.
Also, somebody tell me how to pronounce Sharlto Copley’s name. I love that guy but I’ve never known if I’m saying his name right.

Rated R for strong violence, grisly images, and language, 121 minutes, Drama/Action/Crime
Compare to: Training Day (2001), The Kingdom (2007)
Haven’t been reviewing movies, been playing Metal Gear Solid V. Haven’t been eating much, been playing Metal Gear Solid V. Ironically, now that I’ve gone out in public again to watch a movie, I’d lost all my friends and had to go alone. Sucks for them, this movie is great.
I don’t like to throw out the generalized version of my opinion in the header but it is what it is. This one won’t be for everybody and the themes that run through it are sure to turn off viewers looking for something a bit less “grey” but as far as a quality film goes, specifically one that has something to say, this is a great choice. What do you expect from the director of Prisoners? I’m even loving the poster. Continue reading
You Should Probably Read STARVE
Posted in Reviews!, Whatever with tags Brian Wood, Danijel Zezelj, Image comics, review, Starve on 09/01/2015 by McCutcheon
Another Image book, Taylor? Really?
Yeah, fool. It’s good. I don’t know what story I’d previously mentioned when I said that you know it’s good when the creators can make you care about something you never thought you’d care about. But let me use that again. I’ve never cared about cooking and I normally read comics for the art and the violence. But Starve is an exception to any “rules” I’ve had before. Continue reading
True Detective Season 2, Episode 4 Review
Posted in Reviews! with tags episode 4, review, Season 2, True Detective on 07/14/2015 by McCutcheon
Warning! Spoilers ahead!
“Those moments, they stare back at you. You don’t remember, they remember you.”
Rachel McAdams’ character says this at one point during the episode. What was she talking about? I don’t know. And that seems to be how this season is going to be from here on out. I’ve had more hope during previous episodes but now that we’re halfway through I don’t see things getting much better.
Keep reading if you don’t mind spoilers or (like me) you don’t really care too much. Continue reading
True Detective Season 2, Episode 2 Review
Posted in Reviews! with tags episode 2, review, Season 2, True Detective on 06/30/2015 by McCutcheon
Warning! Spoilers Ahead!
A lot of viewers had problems with last week’s start-up episode. Complaints of the show trying to hard, being too slow, and not really having much build-up seemed to be the general consensus.
I don’t know if this episode is going to change their minds either, though there’s still some enjoyment to be had here if you’re already invested. Continue reading
True Detective Season 2, Episode 1 Review
Posted in Reviews! with tags episode 1, review, Season 2, True Detective on 06/22/2015 by McCutcheon
Warning! Spoilers Ahead!
I’m not sure I’m going to be doing this for every episode but the debut of the gritty crime series feels monumental enough in its own right (at least with the people I know) to not only watch when its initially airs- something I never do- but to give some thoughts on what was done right and what was done…boringly.
“‘Boringly’?'”you ask? “It’s only the first episode!” Well allow me to answer your question with another question– Where was Matthew MaConughey?!? Looks like I win. Continue reading

You could either go for a walk among tombstones or a run through the maze, the choice is yours. The walk is pretty simple and straight forward while the maze might have too many turns at the wrong time to be enjoyable. Playing on words! Continue reading
Movie Review: The Maze Runner
Posted in Reviews! with tags adaption, Dylan O'Brien, Movie, review, sci fi, The Maze Runner on 09/19/2014 by McCutcheon
Stars: Dylen O’Brien, Aml Ameen, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Will Poulter
Rated PG-13 for thematic elements and intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, including some disturbing images, Running time 113 minutes, Action/Sci-fi
Compare to: Divergent (2014)
Young adult adapted films seem to be second runner to comic book movies these days. They’re always coming out, since Harry Potter and The Hunger Games proved to be highly profitable, it’s just a matter of whether or not its worth your time.
Getting to the point, this will be well worth your kids’ time, providing the right kind of suspense and action needed to keep’em pressed to their seat, though older audience members may be left wanting. Continue reading
Movie Review: A Walk Among the Tombstones
Posted in Reviews! with tags A Walk Among the Tombstones, action, liam neeson, Movie, review, thriller on 09/19/2014 by McCutcheon
Stars: Liam Neeson, Dan Stevens, David Harbour, Brian “Astro” Bradley, Adam David Thompson
Rated R for strong violence, disturbing images, language and brief nudity, Running time 113 minutes, Action/Crime/Thriller
Compare to: Death Wish (1974), Ransom (1996)
Liam Neeson being in a movie these days usually means two things: Someone or some people will be kidnapped or taken hostage with the second sure thing being Liam Neeson will indefinitely beat some people up to make sure everyone is safe.
But while the majority of Neeson action/thrillers are worth watching maybe once, Tombstones has a bit more going for it. There’s not a massive secret waiting to be revealed every other corner, but that gets old anyway, doesn’t it? Continue reading
