Battleship

Amazon.com Widgets We rented this movie yesterday. It kept the boy occupied for probably and hour and a half or so. For that, it was worth it’s money. But, this is an awful, awful, movie. One spoiler and that is all. During a critical moment in the movie, they have revived the mothballed USS Missouri. They are using it to… (more…)

Hugo

The family went to see Hugo last night.  From watching the previews I figured it was a kid’s movie and since me and the boy needed some downtime, this would be a good way to do it.  Boy, was I ever right.  This movie is sedentary as you can get.  It’s a very, very, very easy movie to watch.  It’s… (more…)

Apollo 18

I waited a long time to see this.  I’m a sci-fi junkie with precious little content lately to sate my appetite.  This looked like something to sink my teeth into.  It became obvious very early this wasn’t it. A few years ago I did a list of Top Sci-Fi films of all-time.  This won’t be on it.  It might be… (more…)

Amazing Spider-Man, reboot

I never liked the Spider-Man series that much.  Just never got me.  So, imagine my, well, glee’s not the word I’m looking for here, help me.  OK, how’s about annoyance? To find out they’re making a new one.  It’s a little different than the others tho: It’s a little more than the suit tho.  Since most of the actors balked… (more…)

Fast and Furious Six

While I’m at it.  Fast and Furious Six?  Really? Fast Five was awful. My guess is this can only be worse. Gonna see Fast and Furious Six? QuestionsView Results

Footloose

Now, I’ve never been a fan of dance flicks.  Music flicks are usually bad enough, dance flicks make me very nervous.  One of the worst dance flicks I ever had to endure as a kid was Footloose.  This was the teaser: A city boy comes to a small town where rock music and dancing have been banned. OK, I’m “small… (more…)

Wonder Woman gets a makeover

Wonder Woman made her introduction in December of 1941. Got that whole Betty Boop look goin.  She very quickly morphed into: Originally created and designed by William Moulton Marston, a psychologist, Wonder Woman was supposed to be an inspiration for young women.  As such, she was intentionally designed to be edgier, healthier, assertive, and sexier.  She was everything a young… (more…)

On Stranger Tides

Someone asked if I was psyched for “On Stranger Tides”.  Well, Simple answer, YES! QuestionsView Results

Rango

Rango was what I expected.  Take Johnny Depp, morph into a small lizard, stick him in a desert, and this is what you get.  His child-like personality usually works best in darker roles, for some bizarre reason.  When he thinks he’s supposed to act child-like, he doesn’t come off as creatively.  We get fart jokes, illness jokes, slap-stick, and anything… (more…)

Mars Needs Moms

Check this out: This movie’s graphics blow away anything I’ve ever seen before.  Although Milo looked kinda normal and re-used, Gribble looked almost too real.  It’s supposed to be a cartoon after all. But, that’s where it ended for me.  It’s a very creative, time tested plot.  Kid behaves badly, saves the planet, realizes he’s squeaky clean nice in the… (more…)
