Movie Review – Green Lantern
I went and saw Green Lantern last night with the guys, and I enjoyed it. It was not a top-flight movie by any stretch, though. I came into this with almost zero knowledge of the Green Lantern Corps, it’s lore, other members than Hal Jordan or John Stewart, and him only in passing, from an…

Movie Review – X-Men: First Class
Went to see this movie Saturday night (had a busy weekend and needed the time), and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Great, not REALLY SUPER great, but one of the better comic book movies. Lightyears beyond what Brett Ratner could do, that’s for sure. Now, to reiterate something – I am not a comic…

Lightning Movie Review – Rango
Things are returning somewhat to normal around these parts, enough so that I took my family to see Rango at the Movieland 8. I enjoyed it, and it’s interesting that we had a trailer for Kung Fu Panda 2 in front of it, as Rango feels much like Kung Fu Panda – a good representative…

Movie Review: The Lincoln Lawyer
We had a rare grown-up movie night this weekend, and the group wanted to see The Lincoln Lawyer. Mickey Haller, played ably by Matthew McConaughey, is a criminal defense attorney who gets his clients mostly from the realm of drug dealers, bikers and the like. Until, that is, his name is dropped by a rich…

Links From The Blogroll
Hey, everybody. Haven’t been around much to post here, mostly because I haven’t seen any movies or played any new video games to review. ;) That should change this weekend. What I would like to do is highlight some of the newer additions to my blogroll and give some examples as to why you should…

Movie Review – TRON: Legacy
I caught a 3D showing of TRON: Legacy this weekend, and I love it. I might just be their ideal movie-goer. I did see the original TRON at some point, far enough back that I watched it on one of these bad boys. My Grandfather liked to buy wacky things at auctions, and came home with a…

Lightning Movie Review – Tangled
We took the kids to see Tangled this weekend, and Mattie in particular LOVED IT. As in, during the moving saying ‘Mommy I WUV DIS MOVIE!’, and having to come over and sit on my lap so she could tell me the same thing directly. Okay, and get direct access to more popcorn. I thought…

Lightning Movie Review – Megamind
Saw this over the weekend with the kids – it was a solid kids movie, kept my 7 year old and 2.5 year old entertained while keeping a smile on my face throughout. Didn’t generate huge laughs or anything, but I enjoyed it and would see it again. Despicable Me wins out for me in…

Movie Review – Despicable Me
I took Thomas and Mattie to see Despicable Me on Saturday, and we all enjoyed it quite a bit. Well, Mattie was more interested in popcorn and changing seats, but that’s why we go to the kid-friendly showing in the morning. ;) The story is about Gru, a super-villain comfortable in his solitary life until…

Movie Review: Toy Story 3
What? Oh hi, didn’t see you there…huh? No, I have something in my eye *sniff* that’s all. It’s a movie about toys for crying out loud! Uh, crying is a bad choice of words… The whole family went to see Toy Story 3 this weekend, and of course we all loved it. Plenty of action,…

Movie Review: The A-Team
I went and saw The A-Team last night, and I have to say I enjoyed myself. It was exactly what I expected, nothing more, nothing less. It had plenty of nods to the series, while modernizing it and making it different enough that you didn’t feel like you’d seen it all before. Glad I went. …

Movie Review: The Book of Eli
I saw The Book of Eli on Sunday (edit:Â now on DVD and Blu-ray), and enjoyed it. However, I wasn’t planning on reviewing it officially until I read this story, that requires an FJM-style takedown. I will have a go at that after the jump, as there will be MASSIVE SPOILERS.
