So usually, when I write one of these reviews, I take a moment to opine and give a little one shot summary of what my thoughts are. Well, I just got back from seeing Doctor Strange and it’s taking a little while to unbend my mind, so you’ll forgive me…
My last three outings in the Confessional were all about my half-witted attempts at writing movies, so I figured it might not be a bad idea to follow up with a movie-related confession. There’s a certain style that’s emerged in recent years that I really enjoy even though most people…
The last two times I’ve been in the Confessional, I’ve talked about my short-lived career as a screenplay writer. The first was a cult thriller about clones. My second was a sci-fi/romance mash-up. So what did I do for my third (and most likely final) screenplay? Straight romantic comedy. Entitled…
Before we get started, I need to get this out of the way: In this post, I’m going to be dropping lots of spoilers about movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If you haven’t seen these movies and don’t want them ruined, stop reading now. You have been fairly warned.…

So last night, I was able to see X-Men Apocalypse at my local theater. And hey, I even had a free pass to see it! Good thing, too. I’m not entirely sure I’d have wanted to pay full price for this one. So let’s talk about the plot. It’s ten…
So last night, I went to see Captain America: Civil War and I’m still in shock from how awesome it is. This is easily the best superhero movie I’ve ever seen. Here’s a quick summary of the story: the Avengers are still assembling to take out bad guys, only they’re…
Ugh, where to begin? Well, let’s just get it out of the way up-front. Last night, I went to see Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. I went in with very low expectations. Extremely low. And I still left disappointed and frustrated with DC in general and Zack Snyder in…
