Movie Review #39: Tell No One

I can’t remember why I was looking forward to seeing this movie so badly other than Netflix told me to. I’m also pretty sure I was going on a Luc Besson kick for a while after watching La Femme Nikita and though this movie is only produced by him, I was looking forward to it. [...]

Movie Reviews #37: Lions for Lambs

A month or two ago, i had the honor of going to opening night of a broadway play (athankyou Jessica). Death of a Salesman. With Philip Seymour Hoffman in the lead role and… my boy… Andrew Garfield as Biff A friend of mine recently claimed he knew Andrew and thought he could get Garfield to [...]

Movie Review #36: 1408

On a recent trip up to Boston, we had some free time and decided to watch a good old fashioned John Cusack movie. My friend Kelli insisted that 1408 was a scary scary movie and that we would be impressed by it if we gave it another chance. So we did! I believe I am [...]

Movie Review #36: Harry Potter 7.5

I just bought an ipad today. downloaded the wordpress app. Tried to write a review on there. Thought it would be a big change for the site. Things would be easier, faster. But I was wrong. I’m thinking the ipad might be useful for writing afternoon posts if I ever get back around to it, [...]

Movie Review #35: The Avengers

Yesterday, I was browsing the interwebs and came across a list. I was giddy! A LIST?!?! My favorite. It was a list of the top 10 greatest comic book movies of all time. In the blurb about the list, the writer announces that he and the staff have seen Avengers and yes it is on [...]

Movie Review #29: Despicable Me

It’s time I got back on this horse. There have been a few months of lacking and they made me very very sad. Everyday I would come to the site and wonder if i had set anything up. I knew I hadn’t. But you still came! So… I’m back! Here we go… Ok, so it’s [...]

Movie Review #28: Batman: Year One

While I’ll admit that this movie isn’t exactly a movie in the traditional “movie theater” way, this is a movie just as real as any other. I think this movie is one of the best straight to DVD animated movies I’ve ever seen!!! I haven’t had the luxury of reading Frank Miller’s initial Batman: Year [...]

Movie Review #27: Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

A Friday night can be spent many a way. You could go out with friends and have a buncha drinks. You could get some very important work done. You could go to a ballgame (which I’m very much looking forward to going to a few ballgames over the course of this summer, but that’s not [...]

Movie Review #26: The King’s Speech

And so it is complete. I am back in the ranks of people who have seen every Best Picture winner for the past 40 years. This one was very very good and I’m sad that it took me so long to see it. But, it’s seen now, so that’s all that matters. Here’s something that [...]

Movie Review #25: Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

A quick word about this movie: I thought this movie was fairly good. It was fun and I like fun action movies nowadays. I feel like we’ve lost our 80s action movie and I’d love to see some of that come back in a form that doesn’t involve Taylor Lautner or Vin Diesel. That being [...]

Movie Review #24: Stranger Than Paradise

I got this movie in the mail and it took me forever to get around to sitting down and watching it. Even after I did, took me 3 sittings to get all the way through it. Not because it was bad, but because I was that absent minded that I couldn’t even get it together [...]

Movie Review #22: Lethal Weapon

28 years. I managed to go 28 years without watching an entire Lethal Weapon movie. I distinctly remember having seen Renee Russo at some point, but I had never watched any of the movies all the way through, I’m sure of that. But then I said to myself, Travie, how does your age match up [...]

Movie Review #17: Batman Begins

And so it begins… The great wait… As of the date of this post, there will be 113 days until The Dark Knight Rises comes out. Of the previous Batman movies, I only have the Nolan set. I definitely need to purchase the Tim Burton films and… I guess I’ll buy the Schumacker films BUT [...]

Movie Review #41: The Hunger Games

There was a point in this movie when I turned to Jess and I said “there has to be at least an hour left in this movie, right?” The problem is that she thought “Oh no! He’s bored. He’s counting down the time.” What was actually happening in my head was “There’s ONLY an hour [...]

Movie Review #23: John Carter

JOHHHHHHHHHHHN CARTEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!!! The history of what is going to be the untold history of this movie has to be told! Articles as far as the eye can see: “Biggest flop in the history of movies” “Worst decision ever made” “Marketing for John Carter sinks the movie” The articles all say how bad the movie is [...]
