Man ‘o Steel is a decent Superman remake. Decent but it still lacks in many ways. Special effects are arguably flawless and fantastic. Our new Superman, actor Henry Cavill who I like, played a very boring and monotone super hero. The main villain, played by Michael Shannon, who I know best from the TV series… Read More »

Merge the basic plots of Transformers and Godzilla and you have the entire plot of Pacific Rim. Well with a tiny plot slice that is a bit of a spoiler, so I will leave it out here, but it doesn’t change the story in the least. This movie is fun and interesting for the first… Read More »

A brilliant comedic fantasy story, where the characters are actual actors and comedians that play themselves, in a scenario where Armageddon occurs while at James Franco’s house warming party. I had no idea what this movie was about when I started watching. It was fairly new, had some currently well known actors, and I was… Read More »

We have the same old Sci-Fi “end of the world” rich people against poor plot. The only difference about Elysium would be the particular brand of tech and space station involved in the story. There is really little change in theme from Matt Damon’s Bourne movie series. It’s fairly well told, entertaining action, and special… Read More »

This isn’t your traditional zombie movie, but it is a typical zombie movie. The only differences this round are that the zombies are very fast and strong, and act like rabid lemmings. There is good character and plot building. And the story is mostly action, and is well done. Other than that it’s the same… Read More »

DJango is a renegade slave in search of his wife during southern slavery days of America’s old west. If you were to ask me how many times they used the “N” word (Niger) in this movie, I’d have to guess between 500 and 900 times. I’d be curious if anyone watched the movie with a… Read More »

The Hobbit, is an unexpectedly long and unexpectedly boring story. It’s by no means boring due to a simply plot, in fact it is an overly complex tale with far to many characters. So many characters, that you don’t care to associate with any of them, as no one character get enough individual screen time… Read More »

Yet another iteration of the Twilight Saga, magical realm of the vampire/werewolf three somes. Hard to believe that this episode actually has a significantly weaker plot and script than the previous ones. The writing is on the same level as a grade 8 girl’s free form essay. While I’m watching the movie, I imagined a… Read More »

Snitch is a low-action emotionally involved crime drama. It’s not the sort of film I’m used to seeing The Rock in. Most of the action doesn’t start till near the end. In the mean time we are overwhelmed with a father’s struggle to rescue his son from jail, for getting too deep into a first-time… Read More »

Skyfall is the latest James Bond adventure. Unlike most earlier Bond films, the modern day Bond is less a super hero, and more a real person with aches and pains, and everyday emotional scares. This episode is as good as any other, but without a grand villainous feat, and without lots of exciting gadgets. Instead… Read More »
