Dallin: The Film Fanatic

2016 was a great year for movies. We had unexpected surprises, predictable successes, but also, some terrifying flops. With this list, I won't be focusing on the negative, only the positive. I know I may see some more films that came out this past year in the future, but when I did that with my list of favorite films for 2015, I didn't finish that till April of 2016. Yes, this blog existed before May 2016, but that's a post for another time. Anyway, in an effort to not wait till April, I thought that I'd immediately do this list right as we've started 2017. There will be some SLIGHT SPOILERS in this so "CONTINUE AT SLIGHT SPOILER RISK!

I'm super excited to see this trailer. Ever since the fifty second teaser came out, this film has jumped, or raced, onto the list of films I'm excited to see this year.

I thought the visuals in that teaser were amazing. It looked like it was something out of this Asphalt 8 game I play, which is also a racing game as well. One...

Hello and welcome to Dallin: Film Fanatic today. Thanks for visiting on this fine day to read my review for Illumination's newest film, Sing. It stars Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, and more. The film is about a struggling, but optimistic, koala bear named Buster Moon (McConaughey), who attempts to save his theater by hosting a singing competition. To entice more attendance, Buster makes flyers promising a prize money of 1,000 dollars, but due to a "small mixup," it changes to 100,000 dollars. A ton of animals show up and the final contestants include a mouse (MacFarlane), a shy elephant (Tori Kelly), two pigs (Witherspoon) and (Nick Kroll), a mountain gorilla (Egerton), and a moody porcupine (Johansson). To those who've read my previous reviews, you'll notice a lot of changes have been made to my reviews. In short, there will no longer be spoiler portions which is a good thing because there's noth...
