Movie Review: Director Bryan Singer Restores The X-Men To Their Glory In DOFP.

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Director: Bryan Singer
Cast: Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Peter Dinklage, Evan Peters, Ian McKellan, and Patrick Stewart.
Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi violence and action, some suggestive material, nudity, and language.

The X-Men are back and have never been better! The cast of the original trilogy teams up with the young cast from X-Men: First Class to bring you the ultimate X-Men experience. Director Bryan Singer (who directed the first two films only to leave the franchise for other projects) is back behind the camera and he intends to right a few wrongs done to the franchise while he was away. The result is not only the biggest and best X-Men film to date, but also one of the greatest comic book movies of all time.

Movie Review: "A Million Ways To Die In The West" Delivers The Typical MacFarlane Laughs.

A Million Ways To Die In The West

Director: Seth MacFarlane
Cast: Seth MacFarlane, Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried, Neil Patrick Harris, and Liam Neeson.
Rated R strong crude and sexual content, language throughout, some violence, and drug material.

In 2012, funny man and Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane made his directorial debut with the massive comedy hit, Ted. Flash forward to two years later and here we actually have MacFarlane directing his second feature, this time with him in the lead. Luckily, MacFarlane has loads of charisma, great comedic timing, and a killer supporting cast to back him up.

Movie Review: "Godzilla" Has A Surprisingly Small Amount of Godzilla.

Godzilla

Director: Gareth Edwards
Cast: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, Ken Watanabe, David Strathairn, and Bryan Cranston.
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of destruction, mayhem, and creature violence.

Godzilla has never really taken off with American audiences the way it has with the Japanese, and this latest adaptation is hoping to change all of that by giving us the biggest version we've seen yet. I had little anticipation for this project, especially since the 1998 film starring Matthew Broderick was so disastrous and not in a good way. However, as trailers surfaced my curiosity began to grow. While this reincarnation is miles better than the '98 version, it still suffered from boring human characters and convenient plot points.

Movie Review: "Neighbors" Shows That We Never Want To Grow Up Accompanied By Lots Of Laughs.

Neighbors

Director: Nicholas Stoller
Cast: Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Rose Byrne, Dave Franco, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Lisa Kudrow.
Rated R for pervasive language, strong crude and sexual content, graphic nudity, and drug use throughout.

You already know if you want to see Neighbors or not. This review is not meant to convince all to go see it, because the humor is not for everybody. What I will say to those of you who think you'll enjoy Neighbors is that you're right! There's usually at least one solid R-rated comedy that comes out each year, and so far that title belongs to Neighbors. We'll see if it is still king once 22 Jump Street comes out.

Movie Review: "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" Is Fun, But Not Yet Amazing.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Director: Mark Webb

Cast: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Paul Giamatti, and Sally Field.

Rated PG-13 for sequence of sci-fi action/violence.

I was not too crazy about this reboot from the beginning, and The Amazing Spider-Man did not convince me that this new take on the character would be worth while. However, it was generally accepted by most critics and audience members, so I was somewhat surprised to see that this follow-up had such a lower rating on Rotten Tomatoes; we're talking lower than Spider-Man 3. Yikes. Personally, I thought it was an improvement on its predecessor. I still did not love the film; it's got its share of problems, but I found it to be a fun summer movie.
