Tropic Thunder - Funny? Not so much

Friday, August 15, 2008

Hey all… Do you ever go to a movie after actually getting bitten by the hype and wonder why the heck you were there? I had a chance to go see Tropic Thunder this week. After the advertising blitz and initial reviews, I was expecting to laugh my backside off. Hoping to, actually. Did that happen? Not [...]

Star Wars: Clone Wars - Review

Thursday, August 14, 2008

I fell in love with movies as a 7 year old boy, sitting in Philadelphia’s last “movie palace”, completely mesmerized by Star Wars. I’ve anxiously awaited every Star Wars movie made since. I felt sad after the release of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, thinking that I would never have another Star Wars film [...]

by richd On Friday, I received Vantage Point from my Blockbuster Total Access account. So Saturday night I decided to watch it. It is jam packed with big name stars that individually could make a movie. Dennis Quaid and Matthew Fox play the secret service agents assigned to protect the president, played by William Hurt. Forest [...]

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is by no means a great film but I won't go as far as to call it bad either.

‘Pineapple Express’: A Second Opinion

To see more of Micah’s reviews, go to punchyouintheheart.com. “The Pineapple Express” is affable, consistently funny and boasts one of the best performances I’ve seen this year. So why do I feel so let down by this movie? I think I was expecting a classic and what I got was a pretty good comedy. I laughed, but not [...]

I am not so sure when the last time was that I sat down to a movie that really did not have much of a plot and a actually enjoyed the show. With that said, this was one of those times. From the start to the finish, this movie is solid action. Fist are flying, [...]

by richd Last night I was fortunate enough to see a senak peek of this movie. I really think that Seth Rogen is hysterical and I remembered James Franco from the Spiderman movies. With another writing credit to his name, Rogen, along with co-writers, Evan Goldberg and Judd Apatow, did not disappoint. This film was non-stop [...]

The Mummy Returns… With No Real Mummy?

Hi all… If your favorite scene of a movie involves a group of CGI Yeti kicking a field goal with a Chinese soldier for the ball… something’s wrong. First… Luke Ford as Alex O’Connell? How in the heck could Rick (Brendan Fraser, whom I like) and Evie O’Connell have a son in College? Huh? Next… Maria Bello as [...]

Stargate: Continuum is Smart Sci-fi? What gives??

Hey all… It’s no secret that I’m a science fiction and fantasy guy. Have been since I was first introduced to Robert Heinlein and JRR Tolkien many many moons ago… So it shouldn’t be too shocking that I’m a fan of the Stargate series. From the original movie with James Spader and Kurt Russell in 1994 [...]

John McClaine is back at it again. Always the person in the wrong place at the right time. The first Die hard came out in 1988 and we are now 20 years past. This filmed is based on the 1997 article “A Farewell to Arms” written for Wired magazine by John Carlin. This is the [...]
