Wanted staring James McAvoy as Wesley Gibson, Morgan Freeman as Sloan, and the sexy tattooed Angelina Jolie as Fox, didn’t quite live up to my expectations. Yes, it was a suburb action movie. And don’t get me wrong, I loved every minute of it. However, it left me a little bit cold once the lights [...]

John Adams (2008): Part 2: Independence
What can I say? I’m completely hooked on the John Adams HBO miniseries. It provided a needed respite from work on my thesis today, work that goes as well as it can. I wrote or I guess I should say that I completely rewrote eleven pages of my short story Tagger. I trust in my [...]
John Adams (2008): Part 1: Join or Die
John Adams is going to be an amazing seven part HBO miniseries. I just finished Part 1: “Join or Die.” It has a huge cast, including Paul Giamatti as John Adams and Laura Linney as Abigail Adams. I’m going to review each Part as I watch it, this is to as much as anything, slow [...]
Jumper (2008)
What can I say? I’m a sucker for the high gloss action movie’s with super powers. Jumper, newly on DVD, is one of those guilty pleasures. I’m even going to role-up a character like Griffin (played by Jamie Bell), meaning that my character will be able to jump, for an upcoming game that colovillis will [...]
The Incredible Hulk
The Incredible Hulk is second of Mavel Comics summer movies. It stars Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth and William Hurt. The movie is not a sequel to Ang Lee movie that was released in 2003…and thank god for that. Lee’s vision of the Hulk was ass. He did not [...]
The Last Hit Man (2008)
Harry Tremayne has a reputation of never missing. He is the best. Yet, today when he is positioned on a roof top and he has his target in the cross hairs, he misses for the first time. From here the plot unfolds as he comes to terms with this age and cancer.
The Last Hit Man [...]
Untraceable (2008)
Untraceable is one of those movies that I get to watch by myself. It falls into the genre of Torture Porn; however it is no Saw or Hostel. It does have scenes where people are being held against their will and killed slowly.
This movie has a clear message from the beginning to the end: there [...]
Sex and the City (2008)
You all ready know that I like wedding movies from a previous post. So, it should be no surprise that I saw Sex and the City the opening weekend. What may surprise you is that my wife did not want to go. She went to make me happy. We have move system that enables us [...]
Into the Wild (2007)
Even though I like Important Movies (they make me feel smart), I have been avoiding seeing Into the Wild. The story of Christopher McCandless’s (or Alexander Supertramp’s) journey from prestigious college graduate to starved mountain man just seemed like it would be too precious and too depressing to watch in one sitting. Couple that with [...]
