Read MoreMy "Men Who Stare at Goats" Review
Just wrote a review last night about Men Who Stare at Goats, a truly unique film that combines psychic warfare, Iraq, the new age 70′s movement, Vietnam, and goats. It’s really quite an absurd film. Here’s a snipplet from my review: This quirky adventure mixes the irony of psychic warfare in the US army, a tale of self discovery, political commentary, a mix of great actors, and a premise that is guaranteed to be off-the-wall. While this may seem like a sure winner, it stumbles rather than taking flight and becoming a true classic. Interested in what I’ve got to say?...
Read MoreMovie Review: District 9
I’ve written a review for the Science Fiction film directed by Neill Blomkamp called District 9. Just what is District 9? You really have to watch the movie to find out. And boy, will it blow your mind. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, and I believe that you, too, should have the experience of watching it. You read my review posted over at my new website called “Movie...
Read MoreThe Watchmen Review
[singlepic=70,410,240,,] The Watchmen is part action, part mystery, part drama, but mainly it’s just damn interesting. The movie itself is a near carbon copy of the graphic novel, and it doesn’t just skim the interesting bits from the top – it delves into a lot of detail. [singlepic=67,115,100,,left]There’s a lot of adult subjects in here. From nudity to excessive gore to political commentary to deep characterization, The Watchmen doesn’t treat you like you’re stupid. It gives you the respect to watch a deep, adult oriented movie, without having to dumb...
Read MoreMy expectations were shaken by Taken
[singlepic=78,410,240,,] Wow. what a fantastic surprise this movie was! I was accompanied by a group of friends when we went to see this flick. Even though the new Underworld was released this weekend, our group of young and action-seeking college students ultimately decided on Taken. I mean, the trailer really did look pretty cool, and that played a big role in picking the movie. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. There is something special about this movie. Sure, it has it’s faults. And it probably isn’t going to win any awards. But if you like action movies, you’re...
Read MoreWho Watches The Watchmen?
[singlepic=67,410,240,,] There’s a brand new trailer out for the upcoming film titled The Watchmen. Check out the trailer at Yahoo Movies (make sure you watch it in HD!). The trailer is amazing, it gave me tingles all over. I’m very excited for the release of this film! I also just finished the graphic novel today, and it’s great. Well deserving of the praise it has received, and the praise has been extensive! Hugo Award winner, on the Time Magazine’s 100 best novels, you name it. I’d suggest picking it up if you haven’t yet it, yet! The story is very...
