January 15, 2009

These guys are mad talented.  You gotta love creative nerd fandom at its finest!

You can tell how big of a nerd this next guy is just from his enthusiasm and the awesome shirts he’s wearing : )

Happy 4th of July!

July 3, 2008

Here we go, eight films (and one non-film but still relevant suggestion) that should complement the holiday and make your heart swell with pride at living in the greatest country in the world. I had intended to include Saving Private Ryan in this list, but did not get the time to watch it before posting. [...]

Iron Man review

May 27, 2008

It seems that ever since the initial success and resurgence of the comic book movie, headlined by X-Men in 2000 and Spider-Man in 2002, Hollywood will not rest until every other comic super hero is exploited with similar results. Thus we now have Iron Man. Not being a comic book reader myself, I am not [...]

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

May 27, 2008

Fans have been itching for a new Indiana Jones film for 20 years, and they have finally been rewarded for their long wait. It has been said that one of the major reasons for the delay has been getting a script that George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and Harrison Ford all liked and felt passionate about. [...]

Ah, summer!

May 22, 2008

Here we are, another summer upon us and another batch of blockbuster movies. There looks to be some really good ones coming in the next few months. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most notable ones.
National Treasure 2 (on DVD) – Still on the fence about seeing this one. Anybody see it? The first one [...]

Phone Booth review

April 8, 2008

Released in 2003, Phone Booth stars mainly Colin Farrell, but also includes several other relatively big names. Farrell plays a cocky, smooth-talking publicist with no conscience. At the start, we see him working several of his “clients” to get what he wants out of each one, lying and deceiving anyone he can and stringing along [...]

AVP: Requiem

April 8, 2008

I certainly was not expecting this movie to be as good as the first AVP, mainly because it is directed by people other than the previous director and I wasn’t really impressed with what they had expressed to the media about the vision and direction they were taking. Pretty much, I was right. I did, [...]

I Am Legend review

April 8, 2008

For those of you that don’t already know, this is actually a film version of a book. A pretty old book in fact, I believe it was written in the 50s.
The premise here is that the year is 2012. Several years before, scientists had invented what was supposed to be the cure for cancer. Much [...]

Alvin and the Chipmunks review

April 8, 2008

Anyone old enough to remember the cartoon of the same name from the 80s and early 90s needs no introduction to this movie. I was pleasantly surprised to find the film true to the cartoon and more fun than I thought it would be.
At the very start we meet Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, three chipmunks [...]

Saw 4 review

April 8, 2008

While the story for this one is a little different than the previous three, Saw 4 manages to continue fleshing out the backstory of these characters and refuses to let the series die.
Now you might think that since everybody died at the end of Saw 3, that was it. Tsk, tsk. Being the genious that [...]
