Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016)
Need a little something extra to spice up Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice? Or perhaps you’d love to see some of the characters eaten by zombies after a bad experience in English Lit 101?…
V for Vendetta (2005)
“It dangles the possibility of an extreme group taking over and placing anyone of certain ethnicities, religions, sexual orientation, and immigrant status into concentration camps which, thanks to the current presidential election cycle, doesn’t seem that farfetched at the moment.”
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015)
“Mockingjay – Part 2 is the last Hunger Games film you’ll ever have to watch, so if you’ve got the last three under your belt already, then you may as well finish it out with this film.”
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1 (2014)
“For some reason, filmmakers seem to want to spread out a single book into two movies lately, which in my opinion makes these films drag, especially when it comes to Young Adult novels that don’t have a whole lot of in-depth detail to begin with.”
Pan (2015)
Peter Pan begins, but with a friendly Captain Hook, Rooney Mara as an Indian, and songs by Nirvana and the Ramones, you’ll understand the original story even less once you watch the prequel.
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015)
“With the abrupt ending of the first film, most had hoped the second entry would provide all the answers we never got. Instead, the previous film now makes even less sense.”
Tomorrowland (2015)
“So destroying a machine that’s beaming negative thoughts into our heads will somehow cause global warming to stop?”
The Left Behind remake is as God-awful as the original
“This film really did nothing but confirm the fact that Nicolas Cage doesn’t really care anymore. He’ll take just about any part to pay off his huge debts, and do absolutely nothing with the role.”
The Age of Adaline (2015)
“It’s all very bland, especially when so much more could have been done with her agelessness.”
The Divergent Series: Insurgent (2015)
“It’s only two hours long, which is about standard for today, but it’s two hours that drag on longer than the last 15 minutes of class before summer vacation.”
Wrath of the Titans (2012)
“Will make anyone who loves to watch demi-gods jumping onto the backs of large computer-generated beasts giddy.”
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014)
“It feels like there’s no reason for this movie to have even been made, apart from the first film becoming a cult hit, and comic book adaptations now being even bigger business than they were in 2005.”
Hollywoodland (2006)
“Ultimately, Hollywoodland will probably only be remembered for the novelty of Ben Affleck playing Superman years before he played Batman.”
Oz the Great and Powerful (2013)
“I wish they’d spent as much time working on the storyline as the visuals, but it is what it is.”
The Maze Runner (2014)
“The movie gives us answers to exactly none of these questions. And here I thought the ending of Lost was a gyp.”
God’s Not Dead (2014)
“The moral of the story appears to be clear: God may not be dead, but if you’re not a Christian, you soon will be, and He’ll make sure you have the most horrible, painful death possible.”
The Theory of Everything (2014)
“Unlike A Beautiful Mind, at least The Theory of Everything can admit that the husband and wife at the center of its story eventually got a divorce.”
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)
“Just imagine a standup comic telling you the same joke over and over for 105 minutes just to make sure you got it, and you’ll get a pretty good idea of what this movie is like.”
The Giver (2014)
“There are times when it feels like the characters in The Giver are really just living in a slightly more authoritarian Disneyworld.”
