When Madagascar came to the box office in 2005, I took my young niece to see it. She’s kind of an animal nut, so I expected her to have a pretty good time. What I might not have expected was that I would have a good time. The whole talking animals routine can get pretty tired after a while. With the advent of CG animation on such a large scale there has been a little overload these days. Everybody wants to be Pixar, and while Pixar has found some unique story and character ideas, most studios have resorted to the old hand drawn animation standbys. I’m happy to report that Madagascar was better than I expected, and both of us had a really good time. Read the rest of this entry »

With the release of Shrek The Third on Blu-ray, Dreamworks has continued a rather aggressive slate of films on the Blu-ray format. You may remember that Dreamworks and its distribution partner Paramount came late to the Blu-ray party and had a lot of ground to make up. This was one of those films originally released in HD-DVD and eagerly awaited by many in the surviving format. The video transfer is actually the same master and so will not look any different in Blu. Still, with the addition of a TrueHD soundtrack the new release is an absolute step upward.

There are so many movies that get released; sometimes people will question why they even get released in the first place. I know I have done it myself. In regards to this film, Untraceable, I am more than sure someone asked the same question. Given its negative reviews, it is hard to go into viewing the film with a positive opinion. However, that is why you should watch the film yourself and be the judge. Read the rest of this entry »

When it comes to teen high school comedies, I think I have seen them all. They all seem to have the same premise. It is usually a couple of guys who are in high school and are looking to get laid at a prom or party or wherever they can get it. Nothing has changed in the 33 years that I have been watching movies. It works, the premise still works. But not all movies can pull off the perfect teen comedy?but Superbad comes super close.

There was first the cloned sheep, Dolly. Now today, cloning is actually very popular in science. Just do a simple Google search and you?ll find many articles on cloning that are occurring or have occurred. Heck, there was even an active website at one time about gene banking a pet. How far is science willing to go? The cloning of humans is not so far out of reach but most likely will not happen in my lifetime. When it does, you can bet that government will try and step in and stop it. Read the rest of this entry »

Cuba? What the hell…?
What’s next Norbit 2? Please noooooo!!!!
I don’t get it, why does this movie exist? What’s the thought process? Let’s take an already mediocre movie (Daddy Day Care) and make a less inspired, poorly conceived sequel. I miss the days when only good movies got less inspired, poorly conceived sequels.

I am sure at one point or another in everyone?s life; they wished they could be successful, smarter or healthier than they already are. It is only natural. Now what if I told you that when you have children of your own you could make that decision for them? Would you do it?
Vincent?s (Ethan Hawke) dream is to one day go into space. Since a very young age, he had read every book he could get his hands on to find out what it would take be an astronaut. Vincent fought off his parents urges to give up that dream because they knew he could never do it. Why? It was because he wasn?t created the?natural way.? Read the rest of this entry »

It was back in 1999 when I first saw Run Lola Run. I remember exactly where I rented it, what city I was in and who I watched it with. I read about the film online and when the opportunity came about to rent it, I jumped at the chance. One of my main reasons for wanting to rent it was because my companion was in fact German and from Germany and I knew she would enjoy watching a movie in her native language. Little did I know before watching Lola, it would become one of my all time favorite movies. Read the rest of this entry »

I love vampire movies. I remember watching Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee with my father on late night Saturdays when I was a kid. Since those days vampires have evolved. Ann Rice certainly deserves a lot of credit for breathing new life into the undead. Her gothic depictions of the creatures in her Vampire Chronicles stories added a wealth of new mythology and atmosphere to the age old monsters. Underworld would bring us even more vampire lore and, of course, the most attractive vampire to date in Selene. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve never understood book clubs. Of course, I’ve never been intimately involved in one. I prefer instead to let my brain have its own debate on whether or not a certain event in a novel was a metaphor or anything more than meets the eye. However, Jane Austen is a horse of another color. A book club focused on Austen might actually be interesting. But this one wasn’t.

The Resident Evil series has always been one that makes you feel good to be a guy. Each movie has provided the substance to make for a great action movie: little back-story, a lot of guns and explosions and of course hot girls in modest slinky outfits?. oh and ZOMBIES! If this sounds like the popcorn flick stuff you?re made of, than Resident Evil: Extinction is the flick for you. Read the rest of this entry »

As a film, Hostel is in a class of it’s own. It takes the “disturbing gore” genre to a whole new level. There isn’t much in between ground for this film. You will either really enjoy the film or you will be very much disgusted. The plot of the film revolves around two college students and a friend they recently met as they journey across Europe. They are looking to have a good time and “meet” as many women as possible along the way. They journey from Hostel to Hostel. At one point they are starting to feel as if they have hit their peak. This changes when they are getting high with a local named Alex who recommends this Hostel he knows of in the small country of Slovakia. Supposedly at this Hostel the girls are more beautiful and are turned on even more by American men. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m not sure where the mass-disappointment came from regarding the third installment of this hugely successful trilogy. The action scenes where incredible, the dialogue makes this movie the funniest of three, the story was non-stop and the characters were developed well considering how many they introduced. Many people found a problem that there were two villains. How is that bad? More bad guys, means more action. Read the rest of this entry »

Spider-man hits Blu-ray as part of the Blu-ray exclusive Spider-man Trilogy, and is not yet available for individual purchase. Sony has really pumped up this release, hoping it will help elevate Blu-ray to a level that the HD DVD camp cannot reach. While the verdict is still out on how this release will impact the format war, the verdict is in on the quality of this Spider-man release… Read the rest of this entry »
