A break from the norm, and some Star Wars Awesome The force is strong with this couple. Two computer programmers who claim to not be crazy Star Wars fanatics built a home theater modeled after Darth Vader’s destroyer vessel in The Empire Strikes Back. Kim Howett, 41, and her husband, Jim, 43, said they have […]

You remember the movie “Fair Game”, right? No? Well, I guess it was kinda hard to miss, since it was released November 5th, and immediately tanked. Worldwide, it has made a whopping $12 million, with a production cost of $22 million. That earns it a big #FAIL tag. Yet, almost a month later, the Washington […]

Having a tough time with this one. I liked it, but…….the story was rather flat, as was the emotion. It was entertaining, but, perhaps not so much that it is worth seeing in a movie theater. Might have been better off as SyFy channel Saturday night movie (albeit better than their standard fare). Many reviews […]

The answer would be: beyond dismal. This bit of fanciful fluff, which attempts to paint Valerie Wilson as just a normal mom before 9am, to some sort of international spy flying around the world putting out fires, being involved in firefights, like James Bond, during the day, opened Friday, November 5th, and, pulled in a […]

Yes, I headed out to the 1:20pm showing of RED this afternoon, and, was impressed. To make it simple, I’ll give it a solid B. For those expecting all action, like so many Bruce Willis movies, nope, sorry. There were some times which were a little slow, perhaps a bit awkward. Yet, as the movie […]

It has been quite some time since I reviewed a film, hasn’t it? Quite frankly, it’s been awhile since I bothered going to the movies, since, most of the films this year have sucked. Last one I saw in the theater was Nightmare On Elm Street. Well, let me tell you about Piranha 3D – […]

Straight to the meat: it wasn’t a bad movie. The didn’t ruin it like so many remakes, but, seriously, wait till it comes out on DVD. Just not worth going to the theater, even during a matinee. It was predictable, not particularly scary, not particularly gruesome, and, gotta say, the guy who plays Freddy, Jackie […]

Yes, I went to see Clash of the Titans this afternoon. What’s the verdit? Two different ones. For being a good, fun, movie, which must be seen in 3D, and they did not overdo the action scenes in order to pump up the 3D effects, I’ll give it a B-, and proclaim it as an […]

A pretty decent movie, I’ll give it a B-. Good plot, good visuals, and, here is the big thing: once you realize that this is NOT a science fiction movie, but, a drama movie, the acting goes well. Regardless of this being about vampires vs. humans, this is drama, and the acting, cinematography, etc, has […]

So, I was bored this afternoon, chores done (except for a haircut), presents rapped, house clean. Movie time! I decided “what the heck, I’ll give Avatar a whirl.” Matinee rate of $9.25 for a 3-D movie. $10 for some darned good popcorn and a coke (I went to a different theater than usual. Screen was […]
