I’m not a big fan of horror movies, per se, but JC is, so we went to see “Fright Night” on Sunday morning. I haven’t seen the original, so I can’t do any comparisons. I’m sure JC will. I thought it was pretty good. Nothing that made my jaw drop, but overall, a fun movie. [...]
This is the movie I’ve been waiting for. Yes, HP&tDHpt2 was fantastic and provided great closure to the franchise, but this! This is a summer movie that I may just go see again in the theatre. Saturday morning at 10am, (prime opening weekend viewing time for JC and I), we went to see “Rise of [...]
Opening this week, August 5, 2011: Rise of the Planet of the Apes – I don’t know much of the lore of the Planet of the Apes franchise. I’ve never seen any of the originals, therefore I found the re-boot a few years back with Mark Wahlberg bearable. Looks like they are re-booting it again, [...]
(this was also posted at The Nerdist, where JC is also a contributor) I got up early on Saturday to head out to see Cowboys and Aliens. The buzz from Comic-Con hooked me on the idea of Indiana Jones and James Bond vs. ET. The story is as follows: a man (Daniel Craig) with no [...]

Please don’t allow my review to cancel anyone’s plans of seeing this movie. Mr. Favreau spent undoubtedly [...]

Starring Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) and James Bond (Daniel Craig), Cowboys and Aliens is set in the old west, where a group of lawmen is the only [...]
When J.C. and I visited London in May of this year, we saw a movie called “Attack the Block.” It was released in the UK on May 11th. It’s being released in the US on Friday, July 29th. ‘“Attack the Block” is a fast, funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen gang against [...]
I had the opportunity to screen Aaron Rottinghaus’ movie, “Apart” at the IIFF. [JC saw it at the first screening and insisted that I see it as well.] I wanted to offer my opinion on this film so that you can get a different perspective on it. I am still processing what I watched on [...]
