World War Z (review)

Blitz Review:  Action-packed and suspenseful.  Brad Pitt does an amazing job as “Gerry Lane.”  Weaker third-act and questionable ending, but overall really good and perfect release for summer.  Hope it makes the money, so we can have a sequel.  Awesome instrumental by Muse (“Isolated System”) included! Grade:  A-  See my full WORLD WAR Z review on…

Man of Steel (review)

Blitz Review:  Henry Cavill is the best Superman ever! Zack Snyder’s direction makes this a one-of-a-kind visual Superman experience.  It’s gorgeous and has a fantastic Hans Zimmer score and some awesome sound mixing.  Story could have been condensed or expanded – and maybe could have been a little more dramatic.

Notable Qualities:  Art Direction, Cinematography, Acting, Soundtrack/Score, Costume Design, Directing, Original Song (“Together” – listen below), DiCaprio’s performance. Grade:  A+ Follow the link…
