The Green Hornet

The Green Hornet is bad. Really bad. The Green Hornet is a movie made for Will Ferrell, but Will Ferrell’s not in it.  It’s a movie that thinks sexual harassment in the workplace is comedic fodder.  It’s one of those movies where lots and lots of professional killers shoot lots and lots of weapons for 90 minutes and never really… (more…)

The Other Guys

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg?  Someone thought this was a good idea.  Kinda crazy given their combined line-up: Think about that.  With that they decided these two needed to make a cop flick.  OK with that so far?  I really am not going to go too far into this one, the plot is absolutely meaningless and at times inane.  However,… (more…)

Ramona and Beezus

This is a movie I liked a lot for no real good reason.  Joey King should be a star.  She stole that movie, which of course she was supposed to, but a lot moreso than I expected for a kid.  My only disappointment was a I expected a lot more of the flights of imagination based on the trailer.  What… (more…)

Despicable Me

I liked this one.  I really did.  Some movies move well from child to adult, this is not one of those.  This is purely child stuff.  It’s light-hearted, pleasant, fun.  It’s creative, and a little witty.  It builds a plot that is believable, and the characters are deeper than face value.  I liked it.  Two thumbs up.

Inception

Wow, talk about a busy flick.  First of all, this is sorta The Matrixlite.  I hated The Matrix.  Not so much because Keanu Reeves is the worst major actor of all time, but because computers became so powerful they over-ran mankind and put the entire race, that’s billions of people, into a permanent sleep, only to be saved by Neo’s… (more…)

Zombieland

Zombieland is all that I expected it to be. This movie had to have been written especially for Woodie Harrelson. He honestly seems to enjoy this role too much. Now, based on the trailers on the ‘net, I decided to take my boy with me. That might have been a mistake. Only one intentionally startling scene seemed to get him.… (more…)

Hannah Montana: The Movie

In order to have a family event, Mrs. Moon decided we needed to go see a movie. Given the fact me and the boy had already seen the other two or three kids’ movies, we were pretty much compelled to watch Hannah Montana: The Movie. Now, the first thing I noticed was my boy and my two nieces sat all… (more…)

Knowing

Fun movie.  One warning tho: DO NOT TAKE SMALL KIDS TO THIS MOVIE! There are very needless incredibly graphic scenes that will disturb them.  I read the previews, they were fairly lame.  Sure, it has an apocalyptic theme, but so does a lot of movies.  What the other movies don’t do is go into great detail to show you the… (more…)

Paul Blart: Mall Cop

  Moonlet and I went to see Paul Blart: Mall Cop last weekend.  Now, my first impression wasn’t what I expected.  The theatre was sold out.  I mean, jam-packed, standing room only, sold out.  The Dark Knight, Iron Man, Tropic Thunder, none of those pulled that off here that I am aware of.  But, on a Saturday at one o’clock in… (more…)

The Day The Earth Stood Still again

Moonlet is now getting old enough to sort of somewhat understand movie plots.  I stress the “sort of”.  As such, our movie experiences are expanding into more adult oriented stuff.  Not movies with drugs, violence, sex, excessive profanity, or complicated boring plots.  But, the other stuff.  That doesn’t leave a whole lot.  It did however, leave room for The Day… (more…)
