The other day I was very sickly. Stayed home from work. Didn’t have much human interaction. Did have one moment though… My dad called me to ask a trivia question. Yea. That’s pretty typical actually. It was a fun one… Name 4 movies that happened or are about Detroit. My responses baffled me at first, [...]

Movie Review #35: The Avengers
Posted: May 4, 2012 in Movies, New Releases, ReviewsTags: Action Movies, Comic Book Movies, Film, Hulk, Iron Man, Movies, New Releases, Robert Downey Jr, The Avengers, Thor
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 #23: John Carter
Posted: March 27, 2012 in Movies, ReviewsTags: Action Movies, Defense, John Carter, Movies
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 [...]
Movie Review #138: Die Hard
Posted: December 5, 2011 in Movies, ReviewsTags: Action Movies, Alan Rickman, Die Hard, Film, Harry Potter, Movies
Can you believe that it took me all the way to late november to watch Die Hard for the first time all year. I wonder what % of my movies I’ve watched this year are movies I’ve seen before vs. what % are those I’ve never seen. I bet its something like 80% new. We [...]

Movie Review #116: Drive
Posted: September 21, 2011 in Movies, New Releases, ReviewsTags: Action Movies, Drive, Nicolas Winding Refn, Ryan Gosling
“Some Heroes are Real.” This quote really hits what is very interesting about this movie on so many levels. Four simple words, but it really gets to the bottom of what Nicolas Winding Refn was trying to accomplish in this film (and did so quite successfully). But the sentence is so loaded in the context [...]

Action Fights… LETS HAVE SOME OF EM! Fight for 15th: Sin City (1-0) vs. The Departed (1-0) Lets see here. Well, Sin City is a more prototypical action movie. It’s more about shoot em up and smash some brains. People dying and such. That being said, The Departed is a far superior movie. That is [...]
Movie Review #95: Chocolate

A week or two ago, I went ahead and watched a movie that had made it all the way to the top of my queue, even though I long ago forgot it was there. I suppose it’s possible a few years ago I was watching Ong-Bak and then I was like “I WANT TO WATCH [...]

Movie Review #63: Eagle Eye

I think, all time, I made somewhere around 6 attempts at finishing this movie. Some where close to when it came out, a few years ago. At least 3 were while i had it in my home most recently. First, the blue ray broke and I couldn’t finish. sent it back and got a new [...]
