Movie review : Legion
—
Legion Buy the soundtrack for Legion Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon Legion. Big sigh. I wanted so much more. It’s about Revelations, sorta, and that is a really big deal in Christian mythology. Four horsemen, the holy host, avenging angels. The legions of God, right? Thus the title? We got boils and locusts. And…strangely…

Movie review : Leap Year
—
Leap Year Buy the soundtrack for Leap Year Purchase at Amazon.com With its stunning on-location southwest Irish landscapes, Leap Year is a sweet treat for the eyes. The leads are easy on the oculars also. We don’t get anything new here – our characters share in their disdain for each other, bickering their way from…

Movie review : Daybreakers
—
Daybreakers Buy the soundtrack for Daybreakers Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com Do all angsty, brooding, attractive vampires have to be named Edward? Oh, wait, we also had Angel and Louis. Okay, strike that, but it’s still weirdly coincidental. I saw this movie yesterday and have a lot to say about it. Still compiling my…

Avatar – plot too simple? Actually, a good idea.
—
Avatar is interesting in the context that the world of Pandora is a huge fantasy treat to an aging geek like me. The storyline is predictable; the acting is pedestrian; there is really nothing “new” here in terms of plot or character. I’ve read all the complaints from people expecting more from Cameron. People whinge…

Movie Review – Sherlock Holmes
—
Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes legions can relax; this Holmes outing isn’t too egregious. In fact, it’s even a good time for all. The plot isn’t really afoot, here. In other words, the plot is only okay – it has notes of Hound of Baskervilles, mixed with a whole lot of Voldemort (sort of like a grown…

Movie review : Did You Hear About the Morgans?
—
I ‘ve been dragging my feet to review this movie. Good lead actors in a C level film. How did this happen? The Morgans movie commits the worst entertainment sin there is – it is dull. If I didn’t have to get the PeeTimes and end credits info, I would have walked out and sat…

Movie review : The Princess and the Frog
—
The Princess and the Frog Buy the soundtrack for The Princess and the Frog Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com Unfortunately, I had the flu this week and did not want to spread it to a theater rull of children (or anyone, f0r that matter). So we asked Dan’s mother to get the PeeTimes for…

New Disney Princess Celebrates Racial Diversity
—
I must say I’m excited about the newest Disney princess movie, The Princess and the Frog. I love all the princess movies (it’s my girly side) but have wondered for at least a decade when we’d have a black princess to add to the lineup. We’ve had some welcome racial diversity with Native American Pocahontas,…

Movie review : Armored
—
Armored Buy the soundtrack for Armored Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com Armored is a nondemanding bit of amiable escapism. I appreciated the thriller’s lean pace, warehouse visuals and Columbus Short’s earnest, determined characterization. In the latter half of the film, it felt like a non-humorous version of Die Hard. No dig intended: I mean…

Movie review : Transylmania
—
Transylmania What WAS this? Somewhere between a soft porn flick and a teen-humor gross-out gag film. The movie seems to want to fall into the American Pie and Something About Mary genres. Don’t be fooled. The script lacks their cleverness but piles on the bodily humor. There are boobies, penises, farts, vomiting, midgets, pot parties,…
