July movie preview: ‘beyond’ too many movies

July Movie Preview: ‘Beyond’ Too Many Movies

In my mind, the July movie schedule is usually the time when some of the biggest releases of all time reach audiences. I’m thinking of the final Harry Potter film or The Dark Knight. But this year the studios don’t have anything like that. Instead there are 14 wide release movies, which is way too…

‘game of thrones’ s6 e10 recap: wildfire, treason and plot

‘Game of Thrones’ S6 E10 Recap: Wildfire, Treason and Plot

We’re all used to it. We’ve seen it over and over throughout the years watching Game of Thrones. Characters die, and usually in horrible circumstances. But never have we seen so many characters that we know die in one episode. They are clearing the board for all the main characters to duke it out in…

‘Game of Thrones’ S6 E9 Recap: The Glorious Bastards

It’s the battle Game of Thrones has been teasing since the first trailer for season 6. Plus it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for when Ramsay finally picks on someone his own size. The episode titled “Battle of the Bastards” was difficult to watch, yet satisfying. But we have been preparing for the Jon vs….

‘game of thrones’ s6 e8 recap: jaime and brienne gone fishin’

‘Game of Thrones’ S6 E8 Recap: Jaime and Brienne Gone Fishin’

For a storyline that was so mind-bending, Arya’s back and forth struggle with the Faceless Men and the House of Black and White seems to have ended in a pretty straightforward way. The good ol’ kill you with a sword technique. But what wasn’t so straightforward was the rest of the episode, titled “No One.”…

‘game of thrones’ s6 e7 recap: release the hound

‘Game of Thrones’ S6 E7 Recap: Release the Hound

We got a rare pre-credits scene this week on Game of Thrones. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised when it was used to reveal that a presumed dead character, Sandor Clegane/ the Hound, is alive. I picture the show runners sitting around a room of actors whose characters have died and they’re just throwing scripts…

June Movie Preview: ‘Out of the Shadows’ and Into the Sequels

The big summer sequels keep on coming this month. But there is quite a variety among the titles that will dominate the box office.

The movie stars are also out with Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Matthew McConaughey, and Daniel Radcliffe among…

‘game of thrones’ s6 e6 recap: what in the sam hill?

‘Game of Thrones’ S6 E6 Recap: What in the Sam Hill?

The typically massive cast of Game of Thrones doubled in size this week as a horde of past characters returned to make a big push into the season’s second half. Who is Benjen Stark you ask? I refer you to the first three episodes of the show. Edmure Tully and the Blackfish? Go back to…

‘game of thrones’ s6 e5 recap: what you talkin’ ‘bout wylis?

‘Game of Thrones’ S6 E5 Recap: What You Talkin’ ‘Bout Wylis?

It was quite possibly the saddest moment we’ve ever had on Game of Thrones, which is full of sad and tragic moments. But to watch the two defining moments of Hodor’s life play out side by side and learn that they are one moment linked through warg magic is so incredibly heartbreaking. In the same…

‘game of thrones’ s6 e4 recap: this khal is on fire

‘Game of Thrones’ S6 E4 Recap: This Khal is on Fire

Let’s be honest. We’ve spent the early part of this season of Game of Thrones watching our interest in the Daenerys storyline dwindle. Well guess what, folks. She’s back! Episode four was titled “Book of the Stranger,” but it was all about the characters and the audience getting reacquainted with some familiar faces. Here’s our…

‘game of thrones’ s6 e3 recap: every snow has its thorne

‘Game of Thrones’ S6 E3 Recap: Every Snow Has its Thorne

Okay, so no one came back from the dead this week. But with Jon Snow finally up and at ‘em, our focus can turn to some of these other crazy storylines covering the Game of Thrones landscape. In fact, one such scene may just be my favorite to ever appear on the show. Plus Rickon!…

May movie preview: war! Apocalypse! And angry birds!

May Movie Preview: War! Apocalypse! and Angry Birds!

Last year, I wrote about Marvel’s affinity for conquering the box office in May of every year. This year looks to be the same. While the early portion of 2016 has had some big titles, May movies are an entirely different animal. We have two comic book films, four sequels, some comedy, horror, and even…

‘game of thrones’ s6 e2 recap: the demon barber of castle black

‘Game of Thrones’ S6 E2 Recap: The Demon Barber of Castle Black

Guys, it happened. It really happened. Jon Snow has returned to the land of the living! I’m so happy I could kiss him. …Well let’s be honest. He’s probably pretty stanky after being a corpse for a few days. But I’m so happy I could give him a spirited handshake! With the Castle Black storyline…

‘game of thrones’ s6 e1 recap: weekend at jonny’s

‘Game of Thrones’ S6 E1 Recap: Weekend at Jonny’s

Welcome back to Westeros, folks. It has been over ten months since the season five finale of Game of Thrones aired and there has only been two questions on the minds of fans throughout the realms of men. 1. Is Jon Snow dead? 2. Are any of our characters secretly elderly and only appear young…

April movie preview: the calm before the summer movie storm

April Movie Preview: The Calm Before the Summer Movie Storm

The first few months of the year are always a bit of a mixed bag at the movie theater. We’re finished with the award show art films, but studios are saving their biggest titles for the summer. This year we’ve already had a few huge success stories with Deadpool, Zootopia and the massive debut of…

March movie preview: batman v superman v cloverfield v disney

March Movie Preview: Batman v Superman v Cloverfield v Disney

I had said February was a pretty decent month at the movies, but nobody saw Deadpool breaking through as such a massive hit. I don’t know if there are any March movies that will be as surprising, but there are some probable hits on this list. There’s the third film in a YA dystopian series,…
