Oblivion

Oblivion

I've just seen Oblivion. Wow. What an amazing movie. This is not a shoot 'em sci-if adventure, but rather a mystery wrapped in an enigma. There are many levels to this movie, I would love to see it again to see what I missed the first time. The story is compelling, as are the characters. The design aesthetic...

A Good Day to Die Hard

A Good Day to Die Hard

I remember how cool the first Die Hard was: the bad guy really did count to four and then did what he said. No fuss, and well there was a mess...poor Mr. Takagi. Fast forward through four sequels to Die Hard 5. A short, action filled romp in Russia. The storyline was a bit thin. Had the writers bothered...

Rise of the Guardians

Rise of the Guardians

Rise of the Guardians features an interesting twist on beloved characters from our childhood: Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Sandman, the Tooth Fairy, and Jack Frost. They are guardians of the children of the world fighting to stop the vile Boogeyman. It's a great concept and well executed. The story sucks...

Wanna Watch: Oblivion

Wanna Watch: Oblivion

Why? Not for Tom Cruise, that's for sure. But it is a scifi movie that looks to have an interesting story, co-stars Morgan Freeman and has fantastic looking poster and aesthetics. Will it live up to the hype? I'll find out soon enough...stay tuned moviedood...

The Last Stand

The Last Stand

When my friend and I saw the preview for The Last Stand, we all said we needed to see it. I mean Arnold doing an action movie at his age? Gonna be good or gonna suck (and be funny). This movie is not extraordinary. It's not great. There are plot holes you could drive a Terminator tank through. But you know...

Skyfall

Skyfall

I'll be the first to admit it: I'm not a James Bond fan. On occasion, my friends have persuaded me to see a movie or two, but I missed most of the older Bond films. I did see Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. Both were good, but Solace left me in confusion and not really wanting to see another Bond film....

42

42

Chadwick Boseman plays Jackie Robinson in 42 with a great balance of dignity, power, and vulnerability. Wow, I didn't recognize Harrison Ford at first as Branch Rickey! Probably one of his best performances ever. The storyline flowed pretty evenly throughout, except near the end some quick...

G.I. Joe: Retaliation

G.I. Joe: Retaliation

I admit it, I had my hopes up for G.I. Joe: Retaliation when I saw the previews. But then there was the almost-year delay to convert it to 3D. Seriously? Did they do it because they knew this movie would suck? I will admit this movie is better than the first, but that's really not saying much. The...
