FAN EXPO CANADA: Matt Smith

During my time at Fan Expo Canada I was able to snap a few pictures of the insanely talented Matt Smith. It was an amazing experience for me because he was my first Doctor when I started the series Doctor Who. One of the nicest people you could ever meet, wish I could have had a longer conversation with him though.

REVIEW: Non-Stop

Non-Stop is not the typical Liam Neeson action film we have grown accustom to. It is a high-intensity and clever mystery thriller that benefits from its isolated and close-quartered setting. Liam Neeson is fantastic as a federal air marshal fighting against the clock in a film that makes everyone suspicious. However…

REVIEW: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is a reboot of a very long dormant series that brings nothing new to the action genre but ushers in a new-era of Jack Ryan. Very stereotypical thriller with political themes that were more relevant during the original films 25 years ago.

REVIEW: RoboCop

RoboCop is an unoriginal remake of an original sci-fi cult classic that attempts to bring this beloved story into the 21st century with high intensity action and revamped special effects. Wish the film took a riskier approach to reinventing RoboCop, bringing something new to the table with such a great cast.

Perception 3×10 ‘Dirty’: It’s an outrage! It’s a scandal!

That certainly was unexpected. The summer finale of Perception has come and gone leaving us with more questions than answers. All the unexpected twists and turns we love to hate and hate to love in a finale made us furious to wait until 2015 to learn the fates of our beloved crazy crime-solving family. At least the writers stuck with continuity rather than drama for the sake of drama. Onto “Dirty!” Read the rest at gottawatchit.com…

REVIEW: Lucy

Lucy is a high-intensity science fiction spectacle with strong, realistic characters that endure great development through the story. The concept and script are excellently written with sublime special effects and visuals. The film lacks the typical action associated with Luc Besson‘s writing but with the lack of action benefits the strength of the sci-fi concept. However, the story is shown in such an interesting and dynamic way that it doesn’t waste the only measurement worth anything: time.

Perception 3×09 ‘Silence’: Waves of trouble

Well that certainly wasn’t the start to the two-part summer finale of Perception that I expected.  When I heard the next two episodes were a two-part finale I anticipated a huge case for our favourite schizophrenic psychology professor to solve with the occasional hallucination along the way. Instead, it seems it will be two separate stories with the only real connection between the two episodes being the arc involving Kate and Donnie (We will get to that later). Read the rest at gottawatchit.com…

REVIEW: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a rather mediocre reboot of a beloved franchise. With such a vast universe that spans decades with modern moviemaking, one may think that this film could really have it all. However the filmmakers suffered from a terrible illness: Michael Bay Syndrome. Instead of creating the large, charismatic personalities of the Turtles, the audience received very one-dimensional, lacklustre characters as the writers opt for mind-numbing action and explosive chaos.

REVIEW: Guardians Of The Galaxy

Guardians of the Galaxy is the greatest Marvel film released to date. It is a brilliant science fiction set in the Marvel Universe without the presence of superheroes. Everything in this film is astonishing from the script and direction to the special effects and visual masterpiece bestowed upon the audience. The film uses the perfect blend of action, sci-fi, charm, wit and comedy seen most noticeably through the story’s protagonist, Star-Lord, that gives merit to its sole place as this year’s biggest blockbuster.

REVIEW: Snowpiercer

Snowpiercer is a fantastic sci-fi film that blends a dystopian apocalypse setting with that of gritty action and a strong, charismatic protagonist. The concept goes above and beyond, delivering a non-stop thriller that ceases to amaze bringing a fresh take to a rather repetitive post-apocalyptic genre, with action worthy of any summer blockbuster. The cast is great, especially Chris Evans who gives an award worthy performance. Nice to see that sci-fi films can be action-filled without the aid of effects-driven story.
