The Happening (2008)

An open letter to M. Night Shyamalan:
I consider myself a fan of your work.  I have seen every one of your movies in the theaters, including the truly awful Lady in the Water.  Every time I see a new preview of your movies, I think to myself: finally, this one will be good.  I think [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

While in Middleton, WI this weekend seeing friends and hiking, we couldn’t resist seeing the fourth installment of Indiana Jones: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Our friends were kind enough to buy the tickets in advance so that we did not need to show up hours early and stand in line. [...]

Iron Man (2008)

This movie is now the best superhero movie ever made!!  There I said it.  Bold statement I agree but go see it and prove me wrong.  Robert Doweny Jr. is one of the best actors in movies today and he pulls off Tony Stark like no one else could.  Tony Stark is a asshole….plain and [...]

21 (2008)

Las Vegas has changed over the years, from an adults-only playground to a family vacation destination and now, to self-mimicry.  In movies like the uneven Oceans trilogy and the new Jim Sturgess vehicle 21, the plasticly attractive perpetuate a take-or-be-taken mythology.  In this version of Vegas, the bad guys are casinos growing rich on the masses and the good [...]

The Ruins (2008)

I had such high hopes for this movie. My mistake. The book was good, really good. You can check out my reviews of the book by following the links below:
THE RUINS by Scott Smith pt 1
THE RUINS by Scott Smith (Finished)
I think that the reason that I had such high hopes for the movie was [...]

Horton Hears a Who (2008)

Last night, Soulless Machine and I went to see the Dr. Seuss animated film Horton Hears a Who.  I’ve been eagerly anticipating this movie since seeing the previews earlier this year, basically because I have been waiting for a film to do Seuss justice.  More recent attempts at live action Dr. Seuss movies have been [...]

Doomsday (Movie 2008)

So, I’ve still been wrapped up in The Ruins by Scott Smith in anticipation of the movie, The Ruins in theaters April 8th. I’ve also been working a lot on my thesis. Thus no short story reviews.
I still find time to see a lot, I mean a lot of movies. I love movies. I really [...]
