Summary and Review[]
X-Men: Days of Future Past[]
“ X-Men: Days of Future Past marks the return of director Bryan Singer, a man who was recently accused of making two really good X-Men movies! In this fifth X-Men film, Wolverine travels back in time to stop a midget from making tall things. All the important X-Men characters are in it, as Wolverine attempts to fix a future that really sucks for everyone, except for dangerous tall things ... and maybe the company that manufactures bad-ass alternate future body armor ... and maybe Ian McKellan 'cause he's still alive! —Mike Stoklasa”
A Million Ways to Die in the West[]
“ A Million Ways to Die in the West is terrible! It stars a man who loves himself way too much, Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, and Amanda Seafood. Considering this was a wild west film, it's ironic that we had more fun watching the tumbleweed rolling by us in the empty theater. Hey, that was a joke, MacFarlane. That's how that's done. —Jay Bauman”
