Beautiful film based on a Neil Gaiman book. Saw it in regular 2D as we watched at home and really don’t enjoy the 3D experience. The story was good, but the visuals and animation were amazing. Film goes by quickly with plenty to see. imdb.com A young girl walks through a secret door in her [...]

Monsters vs Aliens (2009)
August 4th, 2010 · No Comments
Great voice cast in this sweet film about “Monsters” that defeat the aliens and save the world. The 3D thing is a bit overdone and really irrelevant when watching it on a television. But none of the effects were bothersome. imdb.com When a meteorite from outer space hits a young woman and turns her into [...]

The Invention of Lying (2009)
July 26th, 2010 · No Comments
Fun look at the world if no one except one guy was able to lie. Amusing. Takes a very cynical tone about religion, so if that offends you, I recommend you don’t watch this. imdb.com It’s a world where everyone tells the truth – and just about anything they’re thinking. Mark Bellison is a screenwriter, [...]

Inkheart (2008)

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. [...]

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009) [HD]

Well, we saw the others, so I guess it made sense to watch this one. Remarkably dark. I don’t mean the mood, I mean the lighting. I felt like I could barely see what was going on. I get it, they’re vampires, light is bad for them, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be able [...]

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008) [HD]

The third in the series. I wonder how many more they will dig up (pun intended). I am guessing the next one will be in Peru. The story was pretty good. I especially liked the witch and her daughter and how they had guarded the tomb for 2000 years. Nice interesting twist. On the other [...]
