Straight to the meat: it wasn’t a bad movie. The didn’t ruin it like so many remakes, but, seriously, wait till it comes out on DVD. Just not worth going to the theater, even during a matinee. It was predictable, not particularly scary, not particularly gruesome, and, gotta say, the guy who plays Freddy, Jackie […]

Yes, I went to see Clash of the Titans this afternoon. What’s the verdit? Two different ones. For being a good, fun, movie, which must be seen in 3D, and they did not overdo the action scenes in order to pump up the 3D effects, I’ll give it a B-, and proclaim it as an […]

A pretty decent movie, I’ll give it a B-. Good plot, good visuals, and, here is the big thing: once you realize that this is NOT a science fiction movie, but, a drama movie, the acting goes well. Regardless of this being about vampires vs. humans, this is drama, and the acting, cinematography, etc, has […]

So, I was bored this afternoon, chores done (except for a haircut), presents rapped, house clean. Movie time! I decided “what the heck, I’ll give Avatar a whirl.” Matinee rate of $9.25 for a 3-D movie. $10 for some darned good popcorn and a coke (I went to a different theater than usual. Screen was […]

Just got back from seeing 2012, and, wow, great movie. One really gets one’s moneys worth, especially at 2 hours and 28 minutes long. Many critics were blase on it, but, viewer reviews have been pretty good. Great action, great visuals, the dialogue wasn’t as over the top as in Independence Day (same with the […]

Starting off with 9, I’ll give it a B-. It was a pretty darned good post-apocalyptic movie, saw it on the 9th, reminiscent of the 50’s B movie scifi flicks. Mankind is wiped out. All that is left are machines, and some little creatures an inventor created with spare parts and some cloth. The script was […]

3 simple words: Go. See. It. If you like science fiction, this is simply an awesome movie, somewhat in the vein of Alien Nation, with the aliens being located in South Africa, though the premise surrounds a man who works for an agency that controls the aliens. But, during a big relocation project he ends up…….. Nope, […]

Had the day off today, sorta rainy, so, decided to go to the movies. While the newes Night at the Museum looks good, as does UP!, I love horror and scifi, so, had to see Drag Me To Hell first. To make a long story short, awesome! I’ll give it a solid B. It was […]

Someone sounds like they are trying to keep an interest in the movie The director, who uses the single name ‘McG’, told The Telegraph that it was his demand for perfection that triggered Bale’s expletive-laden rant at a crew member. “I’m to blame for the whole thing,†he said. “In a great many ways this […]

Very simple review in 4 words. Don’t waste your time. The dialogue, what little their is, is dumb, and adds almost nothing to the overall plot. You thought the dialogue in Revenge of the Sith was lame? It’s Hemingway in comparison to Terminator Salvation. The plot, what little there is, makes little sense, doesn’t jibe […]
