Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes (2009)
The Sunday following Christmas, a few friends and I got the chance to join what seemed to be approximately a million other folks crammed in the sold out theater to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law, and Rachel McAdams. After several hours of reflection, I find myself at a...

Movie Review: Avatar

Movie Review: Avatar
I saw the film this weekend and thought I would share my thoughts on the latest epic by James Cameron. THE QUICK The latest CGI meets “Dances With Wolves”. It won’t be a memorable film for me in terms of story but the visuals set a new standard for everything that follows. This film is...

Movie Review: 2012
Snuck out to see the movie 2012 on Friday the 13th.  Hey, it seemed appropriate at the time. Highly publicized for months if not a year or so, 2012 is Roland Emmerich’s latest “the world’s going to end, we are all going to die unless you happen to be rich and/or popular” flick. The...

Star Trek (2009) : An "exit poll" review
I am a Trek fan. There, I said it. It’s out there. Grew up on it, learned it, lived it, love it. Trek fan, somewhere between “Trekkie” and “Trekker” I guess, if you want to put it on the Boy Scout merit badge scale. That being said, when the idea of this...

Movie Review : Seven Pounds

Movie Review : Seven Pounds
I’ve said it before. I’m a fan of Will Smith. Always have been, with two notable exceptions, “Six Degrees of Separation” and his later “Hancock” movies. That being said, I can only summarize his latest, “Seven Pounds” in one inextricably speechless...

Costner's Swing Vote

Costner's Swing Vote
Been a long couple of weeks.  Went on business travel at the end of the month, got home and was pretty much wiped, which meant an entire weekend spent pretty much asleep in my bed.  Kinda funny, my internal voice was having an argument with my conscience over whether or not to get up and be motivated.  ...

Movie review : Hancock
After what feels like 9 months of waiting since I’d seen the first trailer, I finally got to see the new Will Smith movie, Hancock last night. For unknown — yet appreciated reasons, the local Regal movie theater began showing it pretty much non-stop at 7pm last night.  They also didn’t...

As the two people on planet earth who read this blog know, I did a “Movie Quickie” review last week of Adam Sandler’s latest movie, “Don’t mess with the Zohan”… In said review, I did admit that it had me laughing through most of the scenes. That being said, as with...
