Shrek: Happily Ever After
Well, just for the simple fact that there was nothing else starting this past weekend, Shrek was the movie to see. I did have some interest in the movie having loved the first two, but the third film made me skeptical about seeing this one. The basic plot for this film is that Shrek wants [...]
Robin Hood (2010)
After checking the reviews on Friday, the first three I read were pretty bad and didn’t have many good things to say at all. And after a few people chiming in on facebook, my better half saying it’s Russell Crowe, and the fact that I had some movie cash from Apollo 13 bluray…OK…I will go [...]
Iron Man 2
For me the summer blockbuster movies have begun. Iron Man 2 being the first one to hit the big screen. Without giving too much away, the movie is about a disgruntled russian, Ivan, who is setting out to take down Tony Stark. Also there is a story line about Justin Hammer, a competitor in the [...]

No Time For Sergeants
I can’t tell you how long I have been waiting for this DVD. No Time For Sergeants is a movie that I grew up on, and to finally be able to get in on DVD, what a treat. If you have never seen this film, it’s classic Andy Griffith . Granted he is playing a [...]
Clash of the Titans (2010)
The new movie out for the weekend is Clash of the Titans. It is out there for 3D viewing as well, which I opted for. This is a remake of the classic Ray Harryhausen version. Everyone probably knows a little about the story through mythology in school, or seeing the 1981 version of this film. [...]
Toy Story 1 and 2 Bluray coupon
OK Bluray fans, Disney has a coupon on their website for $10 off Toy Story 1 and 2. At the current time, it looks like Target has both of these titles on sale for $19.99 each, and if you buy both you save $10. Stack that with the Disney coupon, and you are getting out [...]
The Ghost Writer
After seeing a couple of ho-hum movies at the theatre with Shutter Island and Alice in Wonderland, seeing Ghost Writer makes up for a lot. directed by Roman Polanski (The Pianist, Death and the Maiden), you would expect nothing less than a very grey toned pot boiler! First a little about the story…and as always [...]
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Opening up with mixed reviews, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this film. Of course I went to see it in 3D, and I recommend anyone going to see Alice in Wonderland, go see it in this format. Everyone knows the story of Alice, following the white rabbit down the hole, so I won’t [...]
Shutter Island
Man, have I been the biggest slacker as of late as far as keeping up with reviews. It is really tough sometimes to find the time to write your thoughts on a particular movie, especially as many as I watch. I will try to do a better job, especially with all the good movies that [...]
Daybreakers
Well, I wasn’t really sure what to think of this one going in. The trailers had intrigued me with the interesting twist on vampire movies, but then the first reviews came out and they weren’t very good at all. So I figured for a matinée price it was worth seeing for myself. First off, the [...]
Up In The Air
“Some animals were meant to carry each other to live symbiotically over a lifetime. Star crossed lovers, monogamous swans. We are not swans. We are sharks.” One of the many philosophies of Ryan Bingham, a man who lives his life on the road and literally calls Hilton one of his homes. Bingham works for a [...]
Sherlock Holmes
What an onslaught of Holiday movies. Sure Hope I can keep caught up. The first film to cross off the list is Sherlock Holmes. I wasn’t sure what this film would be like with Guy Ritchie at the helm of a mainstream film. Better known for his edgy indie films like Snatch and Lock, Stock [...]

Avatar
Finally, AVATAR! Can’t believe that James Cameron finally has a new film out after a long wait from his last movie….that little film called Titanic. The Director of True Lies and Aliens delivers again. The film follows an ex-marine, Jake Sully, who is wheelchair bound, to Pandora. His twin brother was recently killed and Jake [...]
In Old Chicago (1937)
Still no big screen TV, still plenty of full frame movies to watch. The choice of the night, In Old Chicago. This film is basically a dramatization of the characters involved in starting the Chicago fire. Although not much of the story really ties to the great fire other than a family member has a [...]
