Twilight

Twilight is a wonderful novel. Stephenie Meyer definitely puts it in perspective when you read about her scary crush. Soon, not long after the first page, you fall in love with the clumsy character of Isabella Swan. Even with all her faults Edward falls deeply in love with his potential prey.… Read the rest

Untraceable was Quite Traceable

I a am sucker for techno-trillers so the plot for Untraceable intrigued me. It was not enough to get me to go to the theater to see it but I did rent it from NetFlix when it came out on DVD.… Read the rest

Into the Wild

I just finished watching Into the Wild. It has been out for a while but I am finding it harder to sit down and just watch movies and TV anymore. I wanted to watch this one because I had heard good things and I also liked the soundtrack.… Read the rest

Iron Man

The summer of 2008 looks like it will be a great movie season if Iron Man is any indication. I loved the action. The special effects did not get in the way of the story. It made me nostalgic for RoboCop.… Read the rest

Aliens vs Predator: Requiem – Good Presentation of a B Movie

I finally got to watch Aliens vs Predator: Requiem. It is by far the weakest film in the series. The producers have reverted to a typical monsters everywhere plot. We go from one monster to monsters everywhere in just one night.… Read the rest

Silver Surfer has a Nice Shine

I went to see Fantastic Four: The Rise of Silver Surfer at a midnight showing at the Metreon in downtown San Francisco. I went into this movie with very low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised by the experience and recommend this movie as a good summer “popcorn movie”.… Read the rest

Babel

I just finished watching Babel. This is actually the second time I rented it. I rented it previously from NetFlix but did not get a chance to watch it. I sent it back so we could get a new movie that others at home would want to watch.… Read the rest

Superman Returns

We went to a midnight showing of Superman Returns and really enjoyed it. The movie might have been a bit long but it sure packed a lot of action and story into the time. The movie was an excellent balance of new information and story with references to the first two movies.… Read the rest

Cars (2006)

last matinee on a very hot Friday. I had only seen one review prior to going to see this movie. It definitely delivered. Although the story line was familiar to anyone who has seen Michael J. Fox’s Doc Hollywood, the Pixar version is a real treat.… Read the rest

Matrix: Reloaded & Revolutions (2003)

I just got back from seeing The Matrix Revolutions. I did not write up The Matrix Reloaded when it cam out so I guess I can talk about both movies. No such review would be complete without referring to the original movie.… Read the rest
