Horror of horrors! There are plans to remake Dirty Dancing. Patrick Swayze has only been gone for a couple of years. Surely it takes longer than that for him to be forgotten. Whoever is going to make Dirty Dancing again with different actors is just out of his mind. There won’t be a review of [...]
I’ve been waiting for Cowboys and Aliens for months. I had very high expectations because of the big names involved in the picture: Jon Favreau (I got the ball!!), Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, Skywalker Sound. Truly some big hitters from Hollywood. How could they produce anything less than awesome? Yes, I [...]
I’ve missed reviewing lots of movies during my hiatus. This one is a great way to return. I’m a big Harry Potter fan from about the time the first movie came out. I started reading the books after that and continued with them as they were released until the final book, Harry Potter and the [...]
Part of our Independence Day activities included going to The Rave theater to see The Proposal. Once again, the theater was complete awesomeness and produced the best popcorn in the history of the world. The storyline of the movie wasn’t anything special. Big mean boss forces harried assistant to marry her so she can stay in [...]
I rented The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I’d wanted to see it in the theater, but missed it. I’ve been waiting for it to come to DVD and become available through my mail order Blockbuster. Finally watched it a couple of nights ago. First of all, I’m not a Brad Pitt fan. The strange part [...]
I didn’t catch it on opening day, but I got to see Terminator Salvation this afternoon. The year is 2018. Judgement Day happened. John Connor is now 33 years old and he has a face to remember (and his own Wikipedia page). He’s part of the Resistance, but he’s not the leader. The launch of [...]
Before I get started, let me just say that, while at The Rave theater to see Star Trek yesterday, I had the BEST. POPCORN. EVAR. It was hot and buttered perfectly and had some awesome ranch seasoning sprinkled on it. And by “some”, I mean “all of it” and it was like… OMNOMNOMNOM! Ok, here we [...]
Ok, well, technically the movie is called “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” But really, who are they trying to kid? It’s ALL ABOUT WOLVERINE!! I know just enough about the X-Men series of movies to be dangerous, which means not much. I’m pretty sure I’ve watched them, but my memory’s not so good sometimes. I can’t really [...]
The month of May 2009 is producing three stellar, must see, been waiting far too long movies. We shall discuss then in the order of their release. 1. Wolverine – X Men Origins. The important part is WOLVERINE by Hugh Jackman. He is quickly rising to the top of my favorite actors list. There’s a [...]
I went to see Knowing on opening day (Friday). It stars Nicolas Cage as a man whose son receives an envelope from a 50 year old time capsule at his school. 50 years ago, the students drew pictures of what they thought the future would be like. The pictures all went into the time capsule [...]
