I have absolutely no idea what happened in Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon. For a lack of a better phrase, that’s exactly how I describe watching Bay’s hopefully last installment in this franchise. It’s not to say the man didn’t do a serviceable job giving us a live-action experience of toys you may or may not have grown up to. It was just so evidently clear to me that ... Read More!
This movie shouldn’t have been made. There were a lot of things that bugged me about this film, pacing, story, transitions. I think casting was off too in the end, but in truth it could’ve just been the delivery of the story itself. It suffered from the same problems I found with Thor, to which Thor is definitely the better film but that’s not saying much at all. The Green ... Read More!
The Hangover: Part II Before I say anything, there will be spoilers in this impression. So if you haven’t seen this movie yet and don’t want to ruin anything for yourself. Stop reading now. The Hangover: Part II has officially joined the ranks of American Pie. You can bet we’ll see sequel after sequel and potentially direct-to-dvd titles. A third movie has already been ... Read More!
If there is one movie to watch in 3D, it’s this one. It is the only way to watch it, production was conceived around it and it truly shows. It’s not only an animation marvel, it’s literally piece of art. There were scenes I wished the director held the camera pan just a couple seconds longer just so you could take in the visuals that much more. There is depth of field, but ... Read More!
You know what popcorn are going to be. In some ways there is a low expectation for things, or no expectations. You pay your ticket fee and just hope for decent enough entertainment. I think that’s what On Stranger Tides was for me. Good popcorn and good entertainment. Not great, but enough of an adventure to say, yeah I enjoyed that film. I know the latest Pirates movie is getting bad ... Read More!
This is your average film, a little short I would say. It got pushed back almost a year for release date reasons and to convert it to 3D. I really don’t know why they ended up putting it smack dab in with all the summer movies, I think it would’ve benefited more from an October 2010 release. I did enjoy this film for what it was, it did a fantastic job of creating a setting and ... Read More!

I have so much to say on this and I probably won’t be able to say everything. First off, Move is legit. I walked away this weekend absolutely loving the Ping Pong game in the Sports Champion demo. Unlike Wii Tennis, you actually have to hold the controller/paddle straight and can put top spin, back spin, slice, actually lob shots and downward shots. It’s awesome. There are ... Read More!
