Animated movies are not my favorite type of movies. I enjoy them, when they are well done, but lately they have been just a little on the flat side for my taste. So, it goes without saying that I wasn’t really all that thrilled to sit down with Bolt. My family has been waiting to [...]

The Dukes of Hazzard television series, which ran from 1979 to 1985, is, and has been, one of my favorite tv series of all time. The enigmatic characters, and the General Lee, created a world where you could escape to on Friday nights and just be one of the Good Ole’ Boys. When the movie [...]

Saw V is one of the those movies you either like or you don’t. Actually, the entire Saw series is one where you either like them or not. I would quite classify them as horror movies, but more like gory movies. There is blood. And a lot of it. There’s also broken limbs, entrails, brains, [...]

There are movies that are good, and then there are those that cause an involuntary emotional response. I categorize those types of movies as absolutely “must see”. Marley and Me is one of those movies. I must admit that I wasn’t really that interested in it. I passed on it as the theaters and waited [...]

Role Models is not exactly bad, but it’s not exactly good either. Caught at a crossroads between raunchy and acceptable, Role Models tries to deliver and make you laugh. The story is ok as far a slacker comedy goes. Two guys, Danny and Wheeler (played by Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott), work as a [...]

I saw The Uninvited awhile ago. While it was a pretty good movie, you’ll also see why it took so long to put a review up about it. The Uninvited was advertised as a horror movie with a few flashes of ghosts and suspenseful moments. I don’t think I’d put it in the horror genre. [...]

Back when the Eagle Eye trailer was featured on this site, I was wondering how intense this movie was going to be. The trailer looked incredible and the TV spots kept showing some really cool action scenes. Kind of made you think that the entire movie was going to be like that. Eagle Eye, with [...]

There are those movies that you fall in love with right from the opening scene. Then there are those that you want to poke your eyes out so that you are never subjected to that kind of torture again. Body of Lies is neither one. As stated in my earlier post about what I’m watching, [...]

To truly be a great movie, one that will be remembered for decades to come, is a feat that most directors have in mind when beginning a project. Zack Snyder, the director of Watchmen, must have had that thought ingrained in him when he was first born. Following up on his highly acclaimed, and downright [...]

Tonight I’m going to watch a movie I’ve been wanting to see, but just never got around to it. Death Race stars one of my favorite actors at the moment in Jason Statham. The Transporter movies are just a fun thrill ride and his role in Crank is just bad ass. The simple plot of [...]
