The Incredible Hulk (2008)

July 30th, 2009 · No Comments

We were sort of leary about watching this film as the Hulk franchise in film has not gotten the most graceful of treatments, but we are fans of Edward Norton, so we figured we would pop it in. We were in the mood for a movie that required no thinking on our part and had [...]

If Lucy Fell (1996)

July 30th, 2009 · No Comments

This was a nice predictable romantic comedy. You knew the minute you met the roommates what would happen, but the journey getting there was nice to watch. Does 30 seem a little young to have a suicide pact if you haven’t found true love? Don’t most people make the cut off 40 these days? Of [...]

True Romance (1993)

July 30th, 2009 · No Comments

Not sure why it took us so long to see this film. I believe we have had the opportunity, just never took it. And we like the writer, actors, and director of the film. This film was able to make both Detroit and LA look far worse than they actually look. Added unneeded grittiness that [...]

Snatch. (2000)

July 28th, 2009 · No Comments

There is nothing not enjoyable about this film. Great acting, fun action, unexpected turns, multiple story lines leading to one ending. In other words, I love this film. Seen it before, but not for a while so we took the opportunity to pop it back in the queue. Worth a watch almost every time it [...]

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)

July 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

Charming film about a down and out woman that falls into a social secretary position for a wanna be starlet. McDormand and Adams work well together. They bring out the best in each other when in scenes together. The story is predictable and somewhat too adorable, but enjoyable nonetheless. It is a fast 90 minutes [...]

Land of the Blind (2006)

July 16th, 2009 · No Comments

This chilling film contains great performances by Sutherland and Fiennes. The plot has been done before, but I liked the twist of everyone taking someone else’s place in the grand scheme of both the governments. Same characters, different players. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss is paramount to this film. It is [...]

88 Minutes (2007)

July 13th, 2009 · No Comments

88 minutes is a somewhat suspenseful film that uses too many suspense cliches, easily fooled young woman that are suppose to be smart and an ending that you knew was coming. The film starts out in a flashback giving you just the right amount of information to move you forward to the present day story. [...]

Eagle Eye (2008) [HD]

July 12th, 2009 · No Comments

Great car chases and big explosions are the highlight of this film with an ordinary plot mixed with consipracy theories, terrorism and out of control computers. I enjoyed the timing of the film. It was fast paced. But the out of control, rogue computer thing had us wondering if people in films and television actually [...]
