September 12th, 2010 · No Comments

Finally!!! I could not seem to catch this film on cable for YEARS. We finally found it a bit edited and cut, but I finally got to see it. I am a fan of the Die Hard series. I considered at one point going to just rent them all on DVD to see them back [...]

Machete (2010) [Theatre]

September 6th, 2010 · No Comments

This was Danny Trejo’s film, everyone else was just a supporting character. Amazingly some great performances were given by some really  not great actors. Steven Segal was perfect in his part with an over the top death scene that you just have to love as an actor. Don Johnson got to play an unbelievable dick [...]

Circus (2000)

More twists and back stabbing (both figuratively and literally) than you can even begin to follow in this film. Fun ending. Hard to follow. Lots of jump cuts. Peter Stormare looks like he is having a pretty great time. imdb.com Bruno, a sadistic criminal, wants clever con man Leo out of the way. Leo and [...]

Monsters vs Aliens (2009)

August 4th, 2010 · No Comments

But none of the effects were bothersome. imdb.com When a meteorite from outer space hits a young woman and turns her into [...]

I had seen the other films in this series so I decided to watch this as I had the opportunity. Great driving and stunts, other than that the story was pretty boring, but the driving made up for that.Too angsty when not driving. Amazing opening driving scene. imdb.com An undercover cop infiltrates an underworld subculture [...]

Inkheart (2008)

July 5th, 2010 · No Comments

Odd film about a man and his ability to make whatever he reads outloud happen and the effect it has on his family and the characters in books that come alive. Interesting concept. Some great effects. Probably a really good kids film (10 and older). Of course, it might make them never read aloud again. [...]
