Eagle Eye (2008)

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 [...]

Babylon A.D. (2008)

 
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 [...]

John Adams (2008): Part 3: Don’t Tread On Me

 My wife is on her way home from the Minnesota State Fair. While she was off helping run a booth, I watched the next episode in the John Adams HBO miniseries.
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 [...]

Pineapple Express (2008)

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 [...]

Step Up (2006)

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 [...]

X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008)

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 (2008)

 
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 [...]
