‘The Matrix Resurrections’ – Take The Blue Pill! (Movie Review)

The Matrix Resurrections is obviously a movie that never had to be made, but I digress.  I am happy it was.  Not many trailers ever give me goosebumps, but Matrix Resurrections did.  It’s odd too as I’m not even a huge Matrix fan.  However, that doesn’t mean I don’t respect how integral the features are […]

‘A Million Ways’ To Seem Like A Western…Not Enough To Be Hilarious (Movie Review)

The surprising thing about Seth MacFarlane’s A Million Ways to Die in the West is how devoted to the genre it actually is. While I can only think of so many western comedies offhand, there are plenty of ways to turn the genre on its head and have a lot of fun with it. MacFarlane […]
