Rating All MCU Films So Far And a Series average review Look, I'm not a big fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), but I will admit there are some good films. I haven't seen all of them, but I have seen most of them. Maybe someday I will write reviews for each of the films, but until then, I will use this post to give my ratings for MCU films. If I write a review for a MCU film, just click on the title of the film and it will take you to the film's review.  Phase 1 Iron Man: 4/5 The Incredible Hulk: 1/5 Iron Man 2: 3/5 Thor: 1/5 Captain America: The First Avenger: 3.5/5 Marvel's The Avengers: 3/5 Phase 2 Iron Man 3: 3/5 Thor: The Dark World: Skipped Captain America: The Winter Soldier: 3.5/5 Guardians of the Galaxy: 0.1/5 Avengers: Age of Ultron: 2.7/5 Ant-Man: 3/5 Phase 3 Captain America: Civil War: 3/5 Doctor Strange: 3/5 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Skipped Spider-Man: Homecoming :...

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels  Thoughts On The Upcoming Series I've been loosely following the upcoming sequel series to Penny Dreadful , Penny Dreadful City Of Angels. Some first look shots have come about  as of recent. It appears as though Natalie Dormer is in the cast and I'm pretty happy about that. She's a good actress and it's nice to see her in another series since Game of Thrones. Though I don't know how she will stack up against Eva Green's fantastic performance in the original series.  Just looking at these first few images, the tone of the series looks like it will be different. I'm going to go into this series with caution. I don't doubt Natalie Dormer's acting prowess, but I am concerned how the story will go moving forward. The original Penny Dreadful series did a fantastic job of blending gothic literature of Dracula, Frankenstein, etc. into one great show. I am wondering how they will blend elements into the new series sin...

Rebel Without A Cause Movie Review A Fun Classic! I saw the film, Rebel Without A Cause a little while ago, and I have to say, it's fantastic! Rebel Without A Cause follows Jim Stark ( James Dean ) as he moves into a new town. He's a guy constantly getting into trouble and when he does, his parents pack everything up and head off to the next town.  The town they just moved to, Jim is putting in an effort to do better, but his peers might push him to do other things instead. I want to start off by saying, this is the first James Dean film I've seen and man he's a great actor! It's a tragedy we lost a man of talent so young. The whole cast did a fine job with no real bad performances. The cinematography in Rebel Without A Cause is fantastic as well. The directing was very well done too. I just have to gush about how great James Dean played Jim Stark. He was so freaking fantastic as this character. I want to see his other major films now after seeing Reb...
