I went into Eagle Eye with really low expectations. I’m not really a fan of Shia LaBeouf who plays Jerry Shaw, a twin who is trust into a action packed race to discover who or what is pulling his strings. However, LaBeouf’s ability to look confused, angst ridden, and still be sexy, really stole the [...]

I’m a big fan of Vin Diesel. I’ve seen almost every movie that he has been in. I just think that he is one of the coolest bad asses around. I think that Marvel would be silly to pass him up for one of their villains. The man just knows how to play a bad [...]

In this installment, Adams had to once again leave his wife and family in the name of duty. Adams departure for France truly tests his family’s [...]

The wife and I hit the town last night and we ended up seeing Pineapple Express (Official Site).
I have to say that even though I really dislike weed and weed culture, I really like movies by Seth Rogen about bro-love and getting high. I laughed and laughed and almost lost my shit when James Franco [...]

Here is another terrible admission from The Soulless Machine. I really like the new trend of dance movies. Two of my favorites are Stomp the Yard (2007) and Save the Last Dance (2001). If you want a good list of dance movies you can check out: Dance 1977 - Present.
Step Up is a fun and [...]

Warning! If you are looking for a positive review, please keep looking.
I did not have high hopes for X-Files: I Want to Believe. I went in with very low expectations that should have been easily meet. I guess that joke is on me. Not one of wishes for the movie was fulfilled.
I truly want to [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]
