Ranking: Man of Steel
Man of Steel came out in 2013, and if I remember, it was critically panned at the time. I watched it recently with my son, and we enjoyed it pretty well! Not the greatest comic movie I’ve ever seen but perfectly entertaining. I rank this… Continue Reading “Ranking: Man of Steel”
Ranking: Avengers: Infinity War
Avengers: The Infinity War is what the Marvel movies have been building up to for many years. Hints about the villain, Thanos, have been seeded in movies going back at least to the first Avengers movie in 2012, and maybe farther (?). Thanos is a… Continue Reading “Ranking: Avengers: Infinity War”
Ranking: Logan
I’m falling behind on ranking my comic book movies! I have two I haven’t gotten to, and I haven’t even seen Ant-Man & the Wasp yet. So let’s start with the oldest one, Logan, which my son and I watched on DVD last weekend.… Continue Reading “Ranking: Logan”

Ranking Thor: Ragnarok
My family went to see Thor: Ragnarok last weekend and a good time was had by all. Oddly, the first Thor movie was lackluster but each sequel has only gotten better–not the usual progression for movies. I have previously ranked the Batman movies, the Superman movies,… Continue Reading “Ranking Thor: Ragnarok”
Scary Movies: Carrie
Working through a backlog of horror movies we watched this past October, and now we come to a personal favorite of mine, Carrie, directed by Brian De Palma and released in 1976. I haven’t seen it since I was a senior in high school,… Continue Reading “Scary Movies: Carrie”
Scary Movies: The Birds
I assume I don’t have to explain too much about Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. Starring Rod Taylor, Tippi Hedren, Jessica Tandy, and Suzanne Pleshette, it’s one of Hitchcock’s best-known movies, although this was my first time seeing it. Everybody in my family enjoyed this one, with… Continue Reading “Scary Movies: The Birds”
