The Dark Knight Rises

I think I was one the few movie fans out there who thought the first two Batman films by Christopher Nolan film were just okay and nothing special. For the most part, I feel then same way about The Dark Knight Rises, the third installment by Nolan. This movie is very dry at times, has a very crowded and busy plot and is one the longest films I've ever sat through. It is also a film that brings...

The Next Three Days

The Next Three Days is one those films I was thinking of seeing back in 2010 when it came out but I didn't. After seeing it now, I really don't know what I  was thinking as I should have seen this film much earlier as I really liked it for many reasons. It is a film that I liked more than thought I would.The film is a remake of  a French film called Anything for Her. The film is about a...

Death Proof

I was really excited to see this film because I like B-movies and also like some of the other Grindhouse films like Planet Terror, Hobo with a Shotgun and especially Machete. I was also excited to see Kurt Russell. I can tell you that the plot is very cool and the film does have a lot going for it but it really should have been better than it...

Thoughts on The Dark Knight Rises and the Aurora, Colorado shooting

As the new Batman movie comes out this weekend, I feel kind of neutral about it. It is a series that I don't watch very often as I have not been a big Batman fan like I am of the Spiderman movies but still it is a series I enjoy.The only Batman movie that I did not see was the very first one which came out in 1966. It is a forgotten film mostly because of the more recent...

We Need to Talk about Kevin

To begin with, I should say that parenting is not something that I think about very often. As an easy going and nerdish kind of teenage guy, I don't how I will handle being a parent. I can see some aspects that I would like but right now the patience and commitment needed to be a parent is not there for me yet. We Need to Talk about Kevin is a horror film about how rough parenting can be. Watching...

The Amazing Spider-Man

I've said it many times before, and I don't think it will ever change, that the Sam Rami films will always be my favorite of the Spider-Man movies. Aside from just being great films, they bring back really good memories of my childhood and also a time when my baby brother, Louis was born. With the new Spider-Man, I have been opposed it for a lot of reasons but decided to watch it anyway. After...

Somewhere

Somewhere is one those films that I've been wanting to see since it came out in 2010 even though I am not much into dramas and this is nowhere close to the type of film that I usually like. The main reason why I wanted to see this is because the directer Sofia Coppola has made a lot of good films before this. Also after watching Super 8 last summer, I could tell that Elle Fanning...

Repo Man

Repo Man was one those punk 80's films that as a kid I always wanted to pick up whenever I went to Blockbuster. Of course due to violence and it's rating, I was never allowed to get it and so I forgot about it for about ten years. Now I am watching it and I see that Repo Man is one bizarre film that some people no doubt will not like but I really enjoyed it. In fact, I already...

Sanctum

Sanctum is one those films that I was excited to see for many reasons. I am a big fan of cave films so I was looking forward to this one due to water in a cave and I also like claustrophobic films. At the end of this film, I learned that Sanctum drags quite a bit throughout and has some very dry characters. Frankly it is one of the most boring...

Bucky Larson: Born To Be a Star

Going into Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star, I thought it sounded kind of dumb and that it would probably be a very long hours two hours of my life. It did sound like an interesting idea nevertheless and something that I might find entertaining. After watching it, I can’t even describe how bad it was. It is a mess from start to finish with some terrible characters and is no doubt one...

Thoughts on Spider-Man Reboot

As the 4th of July holiday approaches, my family usually goes away for a vacation and I don't get to watch too many movies at home or in the theater. Also usually, there is nothing out that I want to see. The last film I watched around the holiday break at the threaters was The Journey to the Center of the Earth which was just ok. This year is going to be a little different as The Amazing...
