Movie review : Cop Out

Cop Out Buy the soundtrack for Cop Out Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon Cop Out was hard to watch. It…um… sucked. It had humor and adventure and really bad guys, with independent but loyal female characters. Some moments provoked a giggle or two. With me so far?  Cop Out cast me nostalgically back to 80s [...]

Movie review : The Crazies

The Crazies Buy the soundtrack for The Crazies Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon [No Spoilers ] The Crazies is a good solid zombie flick but certainly not the best of the genre. There isn’t a lot of action to speak of so this doesn’t compare to something like Resident Evil. And I don’t recall [...]

Movie review : The Wolfman

The Wolfman Buy the soundtrack for The Wolfman Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon Gothic, dark, damp and delightful. The gorgeously grimy 1880s English setting evokes gravity and mystery. Between the wet entrails and chunky avulsion wounds, this is a tale of one seriously dysfunctional family. As The Wolfman unfolds, Blackmoor’s family skeletons (so to speak) carefully [...]

Percy Jackson & the Olympians Buy the soundtrack for Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon A very enjoyable flick!

Movie review : Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day Buy the soundtrack for Valentine’s Day Purchase at iTunes Amazon [ No spoilers ] First off the cast is great and huge. In the first 30 minutes of the movie there were at least 15 different scene cuts and it didn’t seem like we visited the same actor/actress twice. This movie is packed [...]

Movie review : Crazy Heart

Crazy Heart Buy the soundtrack for Crazy Heart Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon [ No spoilers ] For most people, if asked to name a Jeff Bridges movie, more than half would say Starman. I’ve always felt that it was his best role. Until today. Jeff Bridges as Bad Blake, a wash-up, alcoholic country [...]

Movie review : From Paris With Love

From Paris With Love Buy the soundtrack for From Paris With Love iTunes Purchase at Amazon [ No spoilers ] I was really looking forward to this movie. And while I’m not hugely disappointed I’m also not exactly thrilled with it either. I guess the good news is that it’s a decent movie because it [...]

Movie review : Dear John

Dear John Buy the soundtrack for Dear John Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon [ No spoilers ]  The movie schedule this week worked out to where I had to see this movie instead of my mother or wife. So a middle aged guy is probably not the demographic this movie was aiming for. I’m [...]
