Star Trek (2009)
Let me start out this review by saying truthfully that I have been an unrepentant Star Trek fan since 1986. I watched the original series in syndication as I entered my teens. I really enjoyed ‘Wrath of Khan’ and ‘Voyage Home’, but I really can’t say I was anything more than a casual [...]

The Wrestler (2009)

So, I dragged the same person to this that I saw Twilight with since let’s be honest she owed me one. I sat through two hours of that narcissistic vampire wannabe high school bullshit, the least she can do is watch an Oscar nominated film with me.
Mickey Rourke was extremely believable. I actually forgot the [...]

Hamlet 2 (2008)

Do you like being uncomfortable?  This is the question you should ask yourself, if you choose to go watch Hamlet 2, now in theaters.  I was so jazzed to see this movie, because Steve Coogan is pretty effin’ brilliant.  Instead of my expected reaction of light laughter, I spent half the duration of the movie [...]

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 [...]

The Dark Knight (2008)

I am not sure where to begin with this movie.  This will most likely be the first review of this movie on this site.  So will just share what I think of the movie and allow one of my more eloquent reviewers give a full synopsis.  Well, first thing first…it is brilliant.  This is not [...]

HELLBOY 2 THE GOLDEN ARMY

This is the second movie about the characters created by Mike Mignola. Guillermo del Toro once again take the helm of this franchise. The movie is beautiful to look at. Like Pan’s Labyrinth the fey and other mythical creatures do not look fake or computer generated (George Lucas please take note). [...]

Redbelt (2008)

Normally, I’m not a huge fan of modern martial arts movies.  Jean Claude, Steven, and Dolph have never been known for their inspiring acting skills nor have their movies contained interesting plots or gripping dialogue.  My problem is that I like marital arts and I like watching people beating other people up, but I have an [...]

Enchanted (2007)

Back in the day (late 2006), when I started to see previews for Enchanted, I cringed.  I honest-to-god cringed.  What could be more hokey than a half-cartoon/half-live action feature about an animated princess who comes to life?  I chalked it up to another movie that makes me question the existence of God.
Then, when it came [...]

Hackers (1995)

 

Speaking of Angelina Jolie (see my last post), one of my all time favorite movies with the still smoking hot actress is Hackers, where she plays the bad girl Kate Libby aka Acid Burn.
I don’t have mad programming skills like these characters that take on the computer establishment and the mad genius Eugene Belford aka [...]

Wanted (2008)

I’m so there!
