Early-April to Mid-June Wrap-Up

Early-April to Mid-June Wrap-Up

Since early April, I have been fighting to keep Bucket Reviews up and running, trying to balance it with loads of schoolwork and a few periods of being miserably sick. Now that the school-year is over, the burden of coping with all of that has been lifted from my shoulders. I can now catch up on all of the movie reviews that I have not done for all of the theatrical releases that I have seen in the past few months. This represents quite a dilemma in its own. Since the 4^th of April, I have seen twenty-five films which need reviews. Obviously, there is no way that I will be able to churn full-length reviews for all of them, as I do not remember some of them enough to do so and still need to keep up with current releases. As a result, I have selected to write complete write-ups on House Of Wax, Star Wars: Episode 3—Revenge of the Sith, Cinderella Man, Batman Begins, The Perfect Man, and Howl’s Moving Castle, and War of the Worlds, seven films that I think, for one reason of another, merit the extra amount of words that I may have to say about them. In this index of commentaries, discussion on the rest of the recent releases that I have seen can be found. I apologize for making regular, faithful readers of this website wait so long to see what I have to say about all of them, but I can now only promise to try to prevent anything similar happening in the future.
