Movie Review: Jurassic World

Nostalgia is one of the most powerful emotions. There are countless things to be nostalgic about. The city you grow up in. The music you listened to in your youth. The clothes you wore or the movies you watched. Recently Jenn and I went to Disneyland and saw Jurassic World the fourth movie in the Jurassic Park franchise.  And although I didn't expect it, it was a really great trip down memory lane.

Movie Review: The Wedding Ringer

It feels like its been a while since Jenn and I have watched a truly great comedy. The most recent ones we've enjoyed have been The Internship, Bridesmaids, and Couples Retreat. In-between those have been a multitude of bad comedies that just haven't lived up to the hype of their trailers. Sadly that's exactly what happened with The Wedding Ringer which stars Kevin Hart and Josh Gad.
