The very fact that almost half of the country was in an uproar over this movie says that the Director is doing something right, The Hunt tackles some political themes in an unorthodox and controversial situation in the genre of Dark Comedy and in doing so crafted a movie that challenges how well the audience can take a joke. By half of our country getting so upset and making it into a bigger deal than it actually was just helped the movie gain infamy, when this happens for reasons we can't definitively identify the movie gains an infamous reputation making it feel taboo to go and see it. Now, this may not sound like a good thing but actually, this helps gain the movie more attention in places that otherwise wouldn't have so much as look at it twice, but when a movie gains the reputation of taboo not only do more people (that wouldn't have) hear about it but it becomes more of a thrill to do something that you're not supposed to. So, I am glad that there is some truth to the old saying, "There is no such thing as bad publicity", but when this happens to a movie that is getting panned for its political statement those with no sense of humor in regards to their political ideals always tend to use the movie in question as an image for their campaign of protest. Now, while this is still getting the movie more attention and free publicity; it happens to be the attention that no filmmaker, studio, or actor wants…the attention of political division and debate for both sides. Maybe in twenty-five to fifty years from now, the once unwanted attention will start to work in the movie's favor, as now it will gain popularity as the source of major political feuds and ill will between Americans. I personally loved this movie, I thought it was smart, funny, and socially progressive in conducting civil debate and maybe even open the door to a conversation that otherwise may not have been had. I think that no matter which side of the political spectrum you fall under you should see this movie as a good thing for sparking constructive communication, I believe that whether you're Republican or Democrat we can all agree that having civil and constructive debates on sensitive or difficult subjects is a positive thing. So all I ask is that you either give this movie a shot and make up your own thoughts on the movie and potential have a constructive conversation with your family or viewing part (because that is the purpose of these kinds of movies) or you refrain from conjuring an opinion on a piece of art you've never seen and refuse to see. Regardless of what you choose to do, I only ask that you keep in mind that this is just a piece of art the artist/artists made it based on how they perceive modern American society and politics, I personally believe that regardless of whether or not a piece of arts' message disagrees and or agrees with my own personal opinions on the political subject it deserves to exist and move it's spectators regardless of their political identification.

A classic and a solid entry to the Star Wars Saga! Worth the buy and worth the time, it's a great movie to introduce your kids to the galaxy far far away. This movie has a definite and obvious limitation on the VFX due to its direct-to-TV budget, it is an unnecessary story and one no one was asking for. This Si-Fi Fantasy Movie that is Ewoks: The Battle Of Endor is a must-have for Star Wars fanatics and perfect for the younger Star Wars generation.

Disney and Marvel Studios were able to do what everyone thought was impossible, they were able to create a cinematic universe in which each hero would get their own movie to tell their own individual stories, and then bring them together in an epic movie event called The Avengers. In Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel Studios and the Russo Brothers took it to the next level by culminating 10 years' worth of movies and build-up to deliver not just one of the greatest superhero movies of all time but also one of the single greatest cinematic achievements ever done. Avengers: Infinity War is potentially the best movie out of the MCU in my personal opinion, it brings together all of your favorite heroes in one singular story crammed into a 2 1/2 hour epic and each hero gets their own moment to shine. It's something out of a comic book put onto the big screen that could only be done in our time. It's full of action, drama, and a score you'll be wanting to listen to long after you leave the theater and an ending that'll keep you thinking and talking about for days. This is a must-see!

I personally don't think this movie is as bad as everyone else thinks it is, I was able to find some enjoyment from seeing these heroes all on-screen together for the first time in live-action. I found Steppenwolf to be a rather stale villain, his motives were clear and understandable but don't really add too much depth to his character. The story was simple, the humor was "meh", and the action was entertaining, so I think that it works fine as a superhero movie but so much as a cinematic event (which it should have been.

I'm going to attempt to keep this short, if you'd like to know my full thoughts on Zack Snyder's Justice League then go to my YouTube channel called McKein Mull to watch my full review. This movie is everything the fans could've wanted and more, it's the monumental epic of a movie that the Justice League deserved for their first live-action big-screen outing. Cyborg and Flash were especially improved on in this cut of the film, I think Cyborg actually had the best story arc out of all 6 heroes and I'm not the only one. It's beautifully shot, directed, and written, it delivered on everything we were wanting out of the 2017 Justice League. I strongly recommend this movie it's an absolute must-see for any movie lover of any caliber, and is a can not live without seeing for any major Justice League fan. Congratulations to all of you who made this movie a reality!

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

This movie is an instant classic, this year marks the 20th anniversary of this movie. So, I thought it'd be the perfect time to write a review for it! When it comes to fans of the Middle-Earth series (both movies and books) there is one thing most of us can agree on, that being that Peter Jackson basically did just as much for J.R.R. Tolkien's stories as J.R.R. Tolkien himself. This movie has aged amazingly well in my opinion, the VFX & SFX both hold up today. FOTR is the perfect first act to a three-part story while telling a fantastic and well fleshed out story itself, it has the perfect mix of whimsical and dark fantasy. It handles nine lead characters beautifully without taking from the primary story at hand, it gives each of its leads a moment to shine and gives most of them complete individual story arcs. If you're a fan of the books who's never seen the movies, or a fantasy movie fanatic who's never seen the movies, or even someone who's read the books and seen the movies it's worth watching (for the first time or a rewatch). This movie trilogy is one of those rare occasions where something that should've been impossible became a colossal success, this poster boy of the heroes' journey shows what can happen when you are passionate enough about something.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, admittedly it's not perfect and isn't everything the fans have been wanting. However, with that said it is a great start, I do have my problems with the story/lore but the things I did enjoy about this movie outweighed what issues I do have. One of the things I didn't like was the introduction of the Dragon Marking and Arcana, I didn't need each character from the games to have the powers that they possessed in the game. For instance, there is a character in this movie who didn't need the powers they had in the game to be badass, this character could've been a regular human with excellent fighting skills and that'd have been enough. With that said though there is so much to love in this movie, Scorpion and Sub-Zero's rivalry is one of the best parts of this movie. And while not necessarily a major story arc I thought it explored it the proper amount without overstaying its welcome or undercutting it. The fights in this movie are another reason to watch this movie, you get all the blood and violence you could want out of a rated R Mortal Kombat movie. I'd definitely recommend watching this movie, just don't go into it with high expectations or you might walk out a little let down.
