Just to give you an idea of how picky I am when it comes to movies, I may see 4 or 5 movies at the movie theater in a given year. So typically a trailer really has to move me to go see a movie. True Grit was that type of trailer. Jeff Bridges sounded […]
I’m a big fan of Jason Statham. And I’m a big fan of crazy ass Ben Foster, who always plays a crazy ass. So why the hell have I not heard about this film before seeing the standee in theaters last week? Holy crap it looks fantastic! Supposedly a remake of the Charles Bronson 1972 […]
Okay, full disclosure. I just about wanted to kill myself watching the original Tron. I couldn’t remember much about the original Tron, but was given an opportunity to see it a couple of days ago, and jumped at the chance, figuring that it could enhance my viewing of Tron: Legacy, which I’ve been dying to […]
The end of a beloved saga is always going to divide fans. Revenge of the Sith (and even Return of the Jedi) have hardcore fans, and hardcore detractors. So do the final Pirates of the Caribbean series, and The Matrix films, amongst many others. It’s just impossible to please everybody. The final Harry Potter novel […]
Tonight, I was able to attend TRON NIGHT 2010, a screening of 23 minutes from the upcoming Tron: Legacy (due out December 17th). Tickets were given out for free on www.tronnight2010.com, and went very quickly. I can’t lie, I don’t remember much about the original Tron, save for some of the iconic imagery. Still, the […]
I’ve been a Sylvester Stallone fan my entire life. Just something about the guy and his rise to fame I find inspiring. I remember the bad Stallone years, right after Get Carter. That film flopped and no one liked it (I did), but then it was followed by either limited release movies or straight-to-DVD fare…not […]
This past Friday, the Robert Rodriguez produced Predators, the third entry in the popular franchise (not counting the AvP entries), was released, and fan enthusiasm is at an all time high for the franchise. With mostly positive reviews and a decent box office opening, is this a revitalization of the beloved franchise? I loved the […]
I was asked that in the spirit of our nation’s birthday, indicate a favorite patriotic item, superhero, movie, etc. I know most thoughts would drift to the hero who wears the flag with him, and he’s a darn good choice. Here are a few of my favorite patriotic movies. Saving Private Ryan: Listen, if you’ve […]
You know…I love the character of the Green Hornet, I love the concept of the Green Hornet, and I absolutely love the TV series that starred Bruce Lee as Kato. Unfortunately, I’m not entirely sure what the hell the folks at Universal have been trying to do with the property. First they hired Kevin Smith […]
“I DARE ANYTHING! I am Skeletor!” I still remember when I saw Masters of the Universe in a movie theater. My family and I had gone out of town, but there was no way I was missing out on the friggin He-Man movie! I begged and I pleaded, and we as a family went to […]
