AEOS Review: The Dark Knight Rises
Not Avengers. Not The Hobbit. Not the first of The Hunger Games or the last of Twilight produced the most anticipated hype for movies in 2012. I still believe that The Dark Knight Rises was the most anticipated film of the year. You can even add in a Tom Hooper and Quentin Tarantino flick near Oscar movie season, and I still hold […]
Favorite Five Films of 2012 (January–June)
I’ve been seeing some of these posts pop up on friends’ sites, so I decided to add my own. I actually have found the first half of 2012 to be relatively uneventful and dull at the movies. There have been just a few hits that I’ve seen, and even fewer films that have resonated with […]
AEOS Review: Snow White and the Huntsman
And . . . I’m back! It’s felt like forever since I blogged on AEOS, and I’m happy to be back after a very rough month. How’s everyone been? I’ve been able to check out posts by several of you when I’ve found the time. Bear with me as I get my footing again these next couple […]
The Hunger Games . . . It’s Everywhere . . . Make It Stop!

Neither of them watch a lot of movies, or really get into current trends. Yet when I talked to them […]
The 5 Worst Movies I Saw in 2011
While unfortunately, I can’t include the latest Twilight, Nic Cage’s most recent debacle Trespass, or the Adam Sandler slip-up Jack and Jill because I didn’t bother seeing any one of those, there were five shining, terrible gems that worked hard to make this list. 5. Abduction/ The Hangover Pt. 2 Two movies tie for this spot because while both […]
The Hunger Games: Following the Marketing Footsteps of Twilight?
Posts with titles like these typically turn off the sensible and rational audience, and they won’t get past the title. I completely understand that, and in some sense, would probably be the same way. There’s so much unnecessary, childish controversy over such unimportant issues, like which team someone has chosen sides with (Edward or Jacob), […]
2012: A Peak for Film Series?
The year 2012 holds possibly some of the greatest film conclusions and beginnings of series (and then a few more . . . ) that have not only your typical fanboy jumping with excitement, but your average theater attender as well. Now, I will not be including Scary Movie 5 or Men in Black 3 (sorry […]
