O What A Night!
PostedMay 26, 2009
I had to work this Memorial Day. So as soon as the whistle blew, I raced to the cinema to take in the # 1 movie in America!
Night At The Museum 2 on the IMAX was a joy ride from beginning to end; theme park style! And with a cast of unforgettable characters taken right out of history, it was one to grow on.
Ben Stiller and friends bring the comedy in a sequel that lives up to the first, and even takes the series to another level.
It was great to also see Owen Wilson back in the saddle and Robin Williams (with his Jumanji spirit) back as Teddy Roosevelt not once but twice!
This feel good movie for the entire family, not only made my NIGHT but it made my DAY!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Terminate On Sight!
PostedMay 21, 2009
Terminator Salvation was cool but it fell short of my expectations. From the trailer, ad campaign, and history of the series, I thought this movie was going to be totally awesome!
However, when I came out of the theater I felt short changed. Granted, the special effects were sweet. But that's not the only reason I go to the cinema.
Christian Bale's performance was the best thing about this prequel. The story was predictable, too simple, and a little illogical. If all the elements were as good as Christian, this flic would have been an A+ in my book.
Fortunately, this installment didn't completely wreck the Terminator franchise for me. When the next film is released, I'll Be Back!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

What The Devil's Going On?
PostedMay 20, 2009
Sunday school is in session as Ron Howard and Tom Hanks take you on another religious crusade in classic Hollywood style!
And once again author Dan Brown provides a provocative and adventurous tale that questions your faith.
This is a really intelligent film which keeps you glued to the screen all the way through.
The twist at the end seemed a bit contrived, but understood.
If you liked The Davinci Code, you'll like The Davinci Code more than this one. Make sense?
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Criminal Minded!
PostedMay 9, 2009
You might think this flic is all about glorifying the gangster. Well...kind of.
And just like Gangsta Rap, this one gives you a creative criminal fix! Plus there is a moral in the end. Benny Boom did an excellent job crafting a crooked tale with a cast of unusual characters from the 'hood.
Mike Epps leaps past his "Friday" roll in this one. The Latina Yasmin is really funny and just F-I-N-E: FINE! And my man Mos Def is off the chain!
It's too bad this is the only time you really get to see a group of strong ethnic actors carrying a movie without a White lead; when they play criminals.
But even Denzel received an Oscar for playing a crooked cop, not a hero. That's Hollywood for you!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Enterprise Origins: Outstanding!
PostedMay 8, 2009
Prepare to get beamed up like never before! Because the newest Star Trek film on the IMAX screen is an experience like none other!
Visually fantastic, here's a movie that really MOVES! I felt like I was in WARP SPEED!. The action was non-stop. The story was completely brilliant and entertaining. And the cast was just phenomenal!
I think the last Star Trek movie I saw in theaters was The Wrath of Khan (1982). A big round of applause to J.J. Abrams for giving life to a dying franchise! His resurrection is hip, adventurous, and full of laughs!
Find out how it all began in this stellar Star Trek for THIS generation!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Battle Star!
PostedMay 5, 2009
Who wants to see Animated Science-Fiction?!
I mean, that's what I thought when I first saw the trailer. But a funny thing happened. As I saw it more and more the film began to interest me.
But then along came Wolverine and I almost forgot about this film. According to its opening weekend box office (didn't make top 10), I wasn't the only one who forgot.
The theater was like a ghost town when I went to see it. You could almost sense the tumbleweed. One small family and I made up the entire audience.
In the end however, the movie wasn't that bad. It had a positive message even though the story needed work.
Lionsgate should note the American animation formula if they want to pack the house: Cute Talking Animals!
"Nuff Said!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Wolverine Rocks!
PostedMay 3, 2009
Today was Free Comic Book Day! All across America comic book shops were giving away books to fans young and old.
And what better way to celebrate this super hero holiday than to take in the latest film adaptation of Marvel Comics.
This big screen spectacular was much better than the version leaked onto the Internet! All special effects were complete and the story just flowed!
Hugh Jackman was born to play this character! He's tough, talented, and one mean SOB! Just like in the comics!
Liev Schreiber helped to hold it all together as a dynamic villian with depth and dimension!
Find out what the SNIKT! is all about! Check X-Men Origins: Wolverine out!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Coming To America!
PostedApril 25, 2009
This is one of those incredibly special movies that reveals a side of life not often experienced by the average, every day US citizen.
That's because this film is about the journey of the illegal Latino immigrant.
SIN passports and SIN dinero, these courageous Hispanics head for the United States in search of a better life.
However, the film exposes the harsh realities that they face on their quest to America. Many of them dying in the process.
With powerfully moving performances and an engaging and gripping story, Sin Nombre in my book is MUST SEE CINEMA!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Our Awesome EARTH!
PostedApril 23, 2009
Disney Nature's EARTH.is just extraordinary!
The cinematography is simply breathtaking!
And the wild life that we follow are ever so entertaining and fascinating to watch. I began to FEEL for these creatures as if they were people.
This is Edu-tainment at its best! And James Earl Jones' narration reminds us why we must safeguard and improve our environment.
With a dynamic score that brings it all home, EARTH is a fabulous way to celebrate our big blue planet!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

State Your Business!
PostedApril 18, 2009
Newspaper reporters & politicians get into a clash of the titans as they come together to solve the mysterious murder of a young woman in this suspenseful and dramatic thriller!
State Of Play gets an "A" for its excellent cast! The acting in this film is the best of the best, and worth every penny to see. My opinion of Ben Affleck totally changed after witnessing his stellar performance.
And Russell Crowe did a fantastic job as an investigative journalist with an edge. The entire cast made you really believe in this story. Almost as if it were a documentary.
Unearth government corruption with the stars in this 2009 "All The President's Men"! Go see this one citizen! And don't forget the popcorn!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
