I’ve mentioned in a previous post how much I liked Underworld. Well, I came across a link that had a preview to the sequel and it looks pretty darn good. It has many of the same elements which made the first great and a few new exciting surprises that should just make it different enough. [...]

As movies that are covering old TV shows (remember Beverly Hillbillies, Dukes of Hazard, …), the movie Bewitched took an interesting spin at it. Rather than retelling the original story from the TV show and modernizing it a bit, they instead made a movie about Hollywood making a new TV series which was an updated [...]

Kathy and I go to the movies once in a while. Now that the kids are in school full day, our options to do this come more often (having more choices is good). Probably just like everyone else in the world, we struggle with the movies though because the experience is not all that wonderful. [...]

Kathy and I got to go to the Movies today.  My brother even strongly recommended the new Batman movie (which was high on my list already) so that’s where we went. Having collected comic books both in child years and many adult years (I don’t any more though I still have quite the collection stored [...]

Oh my goodness, this is the corniest little movie.  It was also pretty darn preachy though I’m not sure what the goal with the preachiness was (daydream more and ignore life more! or maybe if you dream a lot and hard enough, the dreams can become real!). I did have some predisposition when I went [...]

No, we didn’t see 2 movies in one day.  Kathy and I went to see Mr. and Mrs Smith earlier in the week by ourselves (fun to do once in a while). Today, since the kids were off of school we took them to see something they have been asking to see.  Mitchell still is [...]

I really liked this movie.  As you could tell from the preview, this movie didn’t take itself too seriously but had plenty of action and surprises in it. They do really well with a fairly short back story of how the two people meet and then jump forward where they are having some difficulties in [...]

Well, Kathy and I went and saw this yesterday. I did enjoy it though I thought parts of it were truly baffling. George clearly knows how to make a visually stunning film so all the tech is pretty top notch and there is lots to be wowed over (though, not as much as I thought [...]

Kathy and I snuck off to the movies today while the kids were at school. This seemed like the best choice. Neither Kathy or I had ever read the book. As a kid, I vaguely remember a BBC show about this though maybe I’m misremembering. I could be confusing that other BBC scifi show about [...]

Obviously, as someone who is out there advocating peoples rights regarding copyrighted material that we have purchased I better own actual legal material. Well, I do. I own about 400 DVDs and maybe twice that many CDs. Well, since I work out a lot I have a nice home theater set up in the gym [...]

Rating: 3.5 of 5 Kathy and I went to see this tonight. I think we had seen one preview but didn’t know much about it. I’ve seen Matthew in Contact and a few other movies that were good so I was hopeful. It was basically an action flick. A hero and sidekick in search of [...]

I don’t watch the Oscars. I didn’t watch the Oscars. I find award shows dull for the most part. I generally don’t even find it that interesting to follow Hollywood gossip on the various gossip shows (though I do admit that in my younger days I did watch a bit of it). 
 
 After [...]

I just finished watching Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle. What an intersting movie. I didn’t really laugh out loud but I did think it was odd enough to like it and probably even recommend it. This isn’t really about a movie review though. 
 
 What I’m thinking is that a movie like [...]

Rate it: 3 out of 5 
 
 Well, Kathy and I got out to see another movie. I like Depp though some of his movies are just the oddest things. His characters though are always top notch at whatever they are (pirates, psychopaths, mutant scissorhand boys, whatever). 
 
 Anyway, I don’t know much [...]
