Green Lantern, A Lesson on Expectations and Comic Book Movies
0
Start the movie on Earth. Let us actually get to know the main characters and find out who they are before major change is thrust upon them (or let the audience know what the characters dont).
Don’t tell us the entire plot of the movie in the opening scene. We already know it’s a superhero movie [...]
Super 8, not so super
0
Everyone knows who did this movie. Spielberg and Abrams. What’s very interesting about this movie, is that you’d be able to name those two film makers even if you didn’t know they were already involved. Especially if you’re over 25 or just familiar with Spielberg pre-1990, and have seen Lost, [...]
Review: X-Men First Class
0
Since the opportunity arose, I decided to go see X-Men: First Class with a few friends. Before I write my thoughts down, I must first say a few words. I am a not a comic book reader, nor am I particularly familiar with the true origins of the X-Men. But I am comfortable in my appreciation and [...]

Portal 2: Wrap-up!

Well, thanks to the local plasma center, I was able to save enough money to get Portal 2 on release day, woohoo! So, what do I have to say after only about an hour of gameplay?
First off, I bought my copy on the Playstation 3 from GameStop. I must say, a very good choice indeed! Why? Because [...]
Tron vs Tron Legacy

This morning I began watching Tron Legacy, on 2D Blu-Ray, with my daughter. Which of course made me think of the almost 30 years since the original. While I wasn’t alive when it came out, it was certainly something I grew up with. But not until I entered my twenties did I realize just how big [...]
Source Code: Good, but not
0
This past Friday I had the pleasure of seeing Source Code. This movie had everything it needed to be a great science fiction film. It was directed by Duncan Jones, who directed Moon and also helped write it. So we know he’s a friend of the genre. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, a favorite of some, [...]
