Suspension of Disbelief: Once Upon a Time
I like a good fantasy. Especially if it involves swashbuckling sword fights. And curses. And dragons. There isn’t a lot of good fantasy on television. At least the television I have access to. That’s why I was intrigued when ABC premiered Once Upon a Time last year. Title: Once Upon …

Suspension of Disbelief: Skyfall
Suspension of Disbelief is a weekly feature, in which we review movies, books, TV shows, and other popular culture for the skeptical teen. Title: Skyfall Director: Sam Mendes Starring: Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Naomie Harris, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes Despite (or maybe because of) growing up Bond-obsessed father, I never …

Suspension of Disbelief: Wreck it Ralph
How exciting… Sitting there watching previews during another movie and you see pac-man ghosts, Robotnik and Bowser all coming together for a new movie. Wreck it Ralph quickly became one of my top “must see”s of the year. Name: Wreck it Ralph Director: Rich Moore (a Disney film) Voices: Sarah …

Suspension Of Disbelief: Silent Hill Revelation
There aren’t really that many video game movies floating around, and that’s probably with good reason, because for the most part they’ve sucked. Tomb Raider, Resident Evil and the like have received little more than scorn from the hardcore fans of their respected game franchises, but when I heard that …

Suspension Of Disbelief: Frankenweenie

Suspension of Disbelief: Looper
As a big fan of sci-fi I find it depressing that there’s often not even one really good sci-fi movie released each year. Looper, despite being a little overrated, is this year’s good sci-fi release. With very few downfalls this movie was freaking aaaamazing. Title: Looper Director: Rian Johnson Actors: …

Suspension of Disbelief: The Awakening
While my fiancé was in China I went to the movies alone a LOT. It got to the point where I was going to see stuff… just to see it. The Awakening was one of those movies. It is set in 1921 England and is a horrible disappointment. Title: The …

Suspension of Disbelief: Resident Evil: Retribution
Generally speaking, all of the Resident Evil movies have been pretty great. Even if you’re not a fan of the video games or if you haven’t seen all of the movies that come before one… you were likely to enjoy any one of the films. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said …
