Movie Review – The Hobbit
It’s such a pleasure to return to Middle-Earth. Peter Jackson and his team have masterfully recreated and expanded the universe according to Tolkien. I know from the production diaries, created during the filming of *The Hobbit*, that the undertaking was massive. Not just in the technical challenges of filming at 48fps IMAX 3D but also…

Movie Review – Rise of the Guardians – A Great Holiday Film About Jack Frost
A visually stunning movie that is destined to become a holiday classic, along with Rudolph and The Grinch. The overarching theme of The Rise of The Guardians revolves around Jack Frost finding his identity, and how important beliefs are in shaping reality. The importance of “finding your center” is explored by multiple characters. It’s a message…

Movie review: Red Dawn
—
This movie was beyond unbelievable – and not in the good way. The acting was slightly above mediocre. In my opinion the only saving grace was that there were a few decent, not great, action scenes. Chris Hemsworth is one of my favorite actors. He’s certainly not the best but he is entertaining and very…

Movie review: The Dark Knight Rises
—
The Dark Knight Rises is an epic spectacle to end an epic trilogy. But is it good? Yes, it is good. But not great. I think everyone was hoping for a legendary movie that would cement Christopher Nolan’s Batman as one of the great movie trilogies of all time. But, in my estimation the series…

Spielberg has given us a three dimensional insight into the last few months of our most beloved leader. In Lincoln we see him not only as the President during the most difficult time in our nation’s history, but also in an equally demanding role as husband and father. Make no mistake, this is not a…

Movie review: Breaking Dawn – Part 2

Epic ending to an epic saga! I enjoyed the other movies but I loved this one. Luckily I got to see the midnight showing. Personally I love these crowds. When something crazy goes down on the screen the midnighters have something to say about it. The theater was roaring during the final twenty minutes of…

Movie review: Paranormal Activity 4
—
I want to start off by saying the last thirty minutes of the movie is what made it watchable. I enjoyed those few minutes. My legs were in a constant state of chill bumps and I have to admit my hands flew up to my face of their own accord a few times. That being…

Movie Review – Looper
—
Here’s a great thing: they didn’t give anything away about the plot in the previews. The acting and story are the best part of the movie – which is how all movies should be. The characters are complex and some of them grow during the course of the story unfolding. The last movie I can…

Movie Review: The Bourne Legacy
I don’t think there’s any question that if you liked the other Bourne movies you’ll like this one. I don’t think it’s as good as Bourne Identity, but it’s every bit as good as the other two. The story is solid and fits into the Bourne universe perfectly. In fact…nah, I’m not going to give anything…

A Conversation with RunPee Fans
—
You know what I love about RunPee fans? They are so nuts about my wacky app. I think everyone can agree that it’s about the most bizarre, some say genius, idea to come along in a long time. And some fans, some call them fanatics, just love to hoot and holler about it. And to…
