IRON MAN

This was a fun movie well worth the admission fee. The movie stays true to the hero's dark nature. This is a definate must if you enjoyed the old Iron Man comics like I did a million years ago. Lots of techy special effects and good story line. Marvel character does it again! I give it one and a half thunbs up, yeah I'm partial to Iron Man. This was a very well done flick.

I AM LEGEND

Well here it is plain and simple. This was an example of the lazy Hollywood writers ripping off an old story line because they can't come up with an original idea. Ten minutes into this flick I'm reminded of the dark story Omega man with Charelston Heston came to mind, an odd thing since I haven't seen it in over 24 years. But then I guess it's to be expected when your repackaging other peoples ideas. Now the plus to this movie is Will Smiths performance, very well done as always. I give it half a thumb.

ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS

Hi, this is one attempt following an apparent fad recreating old material. I often wonder if that's because the writers are just lazy, or if they truly lack any original thoughts....but thats for another conversation. This movie is funny and a great kids movie. So I give it one kiddie thumb up!
this one will give you a 92 minute break in your daily childcare duties. Get the little tykes some Gummys and relax.

Charlie Wilsons War

Now This Flick was right up my Alley. I think this one was outstanding. The Acting was superlative, but of course with Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks you'd expect that. The writing was very good. I am particularly fond the this type of subject matter and find historical biographies very entertaining and informative. I'm giving this one a firm One and a half Thumbs up!.
Pizza and a movie, this one is it!

Juno

Ok here it goes, this was not the typical movie you'd catch me watching. However that being said I'd have to say this is a heart warming tale of first love. This movie makes you laugh, and at the same time brings tears to your eyes. This one pulls at your heartstrings on many different levels. So that's all I'm gonna say, get the popcorn and pull your special someone close. One thumb up for sure, worth seeing.

30 Days of Night

Ok this isn't your typical vampire movie, nice twist,interesting story line. I really liked the camera work, but I think they overdid the bloodiness portion. Overall It was ok as far as B rated Vampire flicks go, so i give it half a thumb.

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN

Hello Hello...back again I see...alright, here we go, we begin with a little tale of lunacy and contract killing.....ok so that sums up the movie , granted it has a few twist and turns, but not many ..it's what I would say would be a predictable movie, that is if it weren't for the clever casting. I mean you see Tommy Lee Jones' name in the credits and expect him in his usual type of role, and this is not the case for him or Woody Harrelson. I have to say the movie was pretty good for its genre. It does well to remind you that there are real crazies out there. The only real disappointment for me was the ending. Sit back relax and enjoy I have to give it a thumb up.

Beowulf

Hi there folks, ok ready for another installment of my movie rants and raves?....Well ready or not here we go....let me start out by saying I'm not a huge fan of animated movies as a rule, however....this flick I have to say was pretty decent, held my attention, nice storyline, very nice graphics. i give this unusual movie 1 and a quarter thumbs up!..enjoy, I did!! ;)

American Gangster

Hello again, ok I checked this one out, and it was Good. It realistically depicts a certain segment of the population and subculture. Denzel Washington is as always, very good. (guess you now know I'm a fan of his work)and Russell Crowe is equally effective in this flick. I say this one is a must see! I give it 1 1/2 Thumbs up. Dim the lights get some munchies and enjoy.

Hoax

Your back again, good to see you,. Ok here we go review number five. Well what can I say, I enjoyed this one . I can't complain intrigue, psychosis, suspense, and all based on a true story. But then I'm a sucker for a good Howard Hughes fable, aren't you ;) I give it a thumb up for sure.

3:10 to Yuma

Welcome back, ok review number four is ready. This Flick is actually pretty good, not predictable and has a decent cast. All in all I'd say if you like westerns then definately give this one a spin. 1 thumb up.

Michael Clayton

Welcome to the third review, ok this movie is borrinnngggg!!!! The director took what could have made an interesting story, and made it as dull and slow as humanly possible. This movie is such a waste of good talent and celluloid. I give a big NEGATIVE as far as it being worthy of your time.
you'd be better off doing your taxes or cleaning the cat litter box. Needless to say all thumbs down!!

GONE BABY GONE

Installment number 2 of reviews GONE BABY GONE is extremely weak for a freeman film...but not entirely horrible. The young Afleck is almost good at times. This film is a slowww starter
but picks up a little half way through. My overall opinion is save you time for something better say a snowball fight or romp in the hay, that time would be much better spent.

Stranger than fiction

Ok first review here, and to be blunt this is slow drags on and on. It unfortunately lacks the typical Will Ferrell comedy we've grown accustomed to. anyhow cant hold my interest so I say two thumbs down!
