Interstellar
(2014)
|
Kevin McCarthy
|
The combination of NO green screen, incredible practical effects, Zimmer's score and a solid emotional core makes this Nolan's most complete flick to date. I had major nerd tears! See in 70mm IMAX film!

Gravity is the game-changing film of our generation. Cuaron has created a technical and emotional masterpiece that elevates the art form! See the film in IMAX 3D!

Man of Steel
(2013)
|
Kevin McCarthy

Zack Snyder marries Hans Zimmer's brilliant film score with the non-stop action resulting in an insane amount of Nerd Tears! Emotional and action-packed! Skip the 3D.

Star Trek Into Darkness
(2013)
|
Kevin McCarthy
|
Through Abrams' beautiful use of Giacchino's epic film score, 35mm anamorphic lens flares, and his incredible detail in character, I found myself weeping nerd tears! See it in IMAX!

Iron Man 3
(2013)
|
Kevin McCarthy
|
The epic action brought nerd tears to my eyes! Shane Black delivers a witty, action-packed flick with great twists. See it in 2D as the 3D conversion lacks great depth!

Cloud Atlas
(2012)
|
Kevin McCarthy
|
Cloud Atlas is masterful in concept but mediocre in execution. Three of the stories worked while the other three lacked the emotional depth required for a 3-hour flick!

Lawless
(2012)

Lawless uses it's extreme bloody violence as a character to propel this riveting and emotional story forward. Hardy and Pearce deliver incredibly engaging performances!

The Dark Knight Rises
(2012)

The Dark Knight Rises is underwhelming compared to it's two predecessor's yet Nolan still delivers a satisfying conclusion to his epic trilogy! See it in true 70mm IMAX!

Savages
(2012)
|
Kevin McCarthy
|
Savages is a solid flick for the first two hours and four minutes. I'm still flabbergasted and scratching my head at the choice Oliver Stone made to end the film!

The Amazing Spider-Man
(2012)
|
Kevin McCarthy
|
The Amazing Spider-Man succeeds as a great love story but ultimately fails as a super hero flick. Should you see the film in 2D? 3D? or 3D IMAX? Click for full review!

Prometheus
(2012)

"Prometheus" is a cinematic masterpiece with beautifully haunting visuals and an epic score. Instead of spoon-feeding the audience, Scott allows you to think for yourself!

Marvel's the Avengers
(2012)
|
Kevin McCarthy
|
Mark Ruffalo was born to the play The Hulk. There is a ten second epic action sequence that is worth the entire price of admission and every one of your nerd tears! Hulk Smash!

Think Like a Man
(2012)
|
Kevin McCarthy
|
The product placement for Harvey's book is a blatant disregard for the audience's intelligence. I felt like I was watching a 3am "ShamWow" infomercial!

The Hunger Games
(2012)
|
Kevin McCarthy
|
The Hunger Games completely transcends the teenage genre by presenting a film with a strong emotional core mixed with an epically bad-a** central character! I loved this movie!

Act of Valor
(2012)
|
Kevin McCarthy
|
Through the use of active duty Navy SEALS, live ammo and helmet cameras, Act of Valor produces insanely realistic action. Just don't go in expecting good acting from the SEALS.

Chronicle is an absolutely incredible, brutally intense, emotionally engaging, original film that will blow your freaking mind. Stop what you're doing and see it now!

The Grey
(2012)

Joe Carnahan delivers a rather brilliant, deeply emotional, philosophical flick that still finds time to show Liam Neeson's bad-a** side!

The Devil Inside

The Devil Inside is a terrible, uninspired, hack "found footage" flick whose trailer gives away every "scary" sequence!"

A solid film with a masterful score and beautiful cinematography. While the film never reaches that level of Spielberg greatness, it contains my favorite scene of 2011.

While I admired and enjoyed the film, it reminded me of drinking a Pepsi Throwback; tastes great but brings nothing new to the table.

Hugo

Martin Scorsese's love letter to filmmaking finally proves that 3D is a necessary aesthetic to storytelling if used correctly. I definitely shed a few nerd tears!

The Rum Diary
(2011)
|
Kevin McCarthy
|
The flick, whose advertisements were obviously channeling Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, is a slow, sometimes intriguing, mess that lacks direction and rich characters.
