Granted, it’s kind of a lame weekend for new movies, but, this is rather impressive (Deadline) The anti-Obama movie 2016 Obama’s America went into wider release around America today and is opening right now in first place at the domestic box office. That’s quite a feat since the Rocky Mountain Pictures political documentary is still playing in only […]

Like many other movies, such as Prometheus, The Dark Knight Rises had a ton of hype around it, and was widely anticipated to be a summer blockbuster. Well, mission accomplished! But, how good is it, really? Over at Rotten Tomatoes, it gets very high marks, but one thing you seem to see a lot is […]

Just getting back from seeing Prometheus (saw it in 2D. Missed being able to get in to the 3D showing by 3 minutes, stuck at work). The big question is, did it live up to the hype? No. But it came very, very close. Pretty much everything you have read about what it is supposed […]

Eh. That’s pretty much it. Perhaps I expected too much after all the hype. Perhaps it’s because it seemed to be a stilted movie with boring dialogue which superimposed visuals for 3D effect over a good screenplay, which creates little emotion, as happens with many 3D movies. It becomes more about explosions and violence and […]

I now have my excuse (Washington Post) “Twilight: Breaking Dawn†has elicited shrieks of joy from Twihards, yawns from some film critics and groans from unwilling partners dragged to the vampire love story. But the film’s gory birth scene, which contains rapid flashes of black and red light, has apparently also caused two men to […]

Hmm, this is a toughy. I really expected quite a bit more from the movie. Don’t get me wrong, I was pleased with it, I just expected more deeper meaning, and a bit more of an ending, not an obvious setup for a part 2. That said, I’ll give it a B for an afternoon […]

Yes, I went to see the movie this afternoon, and the verdict is……..go see it! There have been lots of criticisms over the movie. For my part, let’s say this: it is not a super deep movie. There isn’t super duper dialogue (though, no stupid or bad dialogue.) It doesn’t make you think. There’s no […]

Eh. Kinda slow paced, plot is kinda thin, action is so so, weapons and vehicles are rather unbelievable for 1943, and the ending was a slight downer. Not a bad movie, per se, but not worth, at best, an afternoon matinee for the 2D version. The 3D was kinda boring. The character development was sparse. […]

Very simply put, this was a fun, fun movie, which did a great job in setting up the beginning of the X-Men, who Charles Xavier was, how Eric Lansherr becomes Magneto, what’s the deal with their friendship (and antagonism), as well as including some of the original characters, such as Mystique and Hank McCoy/Beast. Now, […]

I’m going to start with Fast 5, which I went to see about a week and a half ago, forgot to publish. I’ll make it easy: one hell of a fun movie. Action, drama, more action, cars going really fast, great character development, all that you’ve come to expect with the Fast movies with Vin […]
