Source Code (2011)

A nice variation on the travel back in time plot.  I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect after seeing the trailers.  There are a few surprises along the way, that we can’t discuss without spoiling it for you.  It’s not just a simple action movie, there is an emotional ride as well.  It’s worth seeing,… Read More »

Priest (2011)

Another variation on the old vampire storey. This one takes place in the futures after vampire apocalypse, and a twisted version of the Roman Catholic church runs society, not unlike medieval times. Actually nothing that memorable to share about this one, other than it’s okay as vampire flicks go, but the ending really sucks.  You… Read More »

Take Me Home Tonight (2011)

This is a fun teenager style movie with an 80’s theme.  Well done and light hearted.  It has the typical teenager party movie plot; lead teenage boy is kinda geeky, can;t get a girl, lead teenage girl is very hot, can have anyone she wants, geek chases girl, can’t get girl, then get’s girl after… Read More »

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

I enjoyed this remake more than I expected.  It was entertaining, the CGI effects of making Chris Evans a skinny short little guy were excellent and totally believable, and it has Chris Evans – who is simply hot! The only thing I didn’t really care for was that it’s in 3D.  For me the 3D… Read More »

Yogi Bear (2010)

Yogi must be rolling over in his grave.  Assuming Yogi Bear died by now.  I mean how old do bears live for?  My review is from a adult perspective, but we adults like a lot of animated movies these days.  But this Yogi remake is bad.  Really freakin bad.  Boring as all hell, and slow,… Read More »

S.W.A.T.: Firefight (2011)

This “movie” was shot in what feels like a TV movie or even a TV series style.  With moments where you expect to be suddenly watching a commercial break.  The title of this one tells you eveything you need to know about this story.  It’s about S.W.A.T. team characters and a little action.  That’s it.… Read More »

The Green Hornet (2011)

The general concept of this movie is obviously to be a remake of the old TV series.  Other than that it’s not much like the original.  The main character may have the same name, but he isn’t the serious, good looking, tough guy I remember from the original series.  He’s a average looking, dumb ass… Read More »

Battle: Los Angeles (2011)

I was rather disappointed with Battle Los Angeles.  I was expecting a lot more substance.  It has a distinct low budget feel.  You don’t learn to care for any of the characters.  In fact I ended up routing for the aliens by the end.  They used the old jerky camera technique to make it feel… Read More »

The Mechanic (2011)

Not too much to say about this flick.  It’s a decent watch of a very typical and general style hit man scenario.  Holds your attention, has some action that keeps you watching.  Nothing overly memorable about this entire movie, just a good time killer for action fans.  And you’ll have forgotten you saw it 3… Read More »

Drive Angry 3D (2011)

I watched the 2D version of this 3D yawner.  So I can’t speak to the quality of the 3D.  I can tell you that there are many events that cause items to be flung directly at the screen.  It makes you feel like you are watching the 2D version of any 1950’s or 1960’s 3D… Read More »
