Movie Review: Captain America: The Winter Soldier

First of all...Spoiler Alert!

I'll keep all of the spoilers for the end of the review so you can stop reading before you get to them.

Now, on to the review:

If you enjoy super hero movies, and you like the old-school political thrillers of the 70's, you're gonna like this movie. 

Movie Review: Tron: Legacy

I had the day off Monday and my wife was slaving away at work, so I figured what better time to ignore my honey-do list and go see a movie!

I've been a huge fan of Tron [1982] since...well....1982. I went to see it with my dad and brother when I was 12 and then played the video game till my eyes bled. I had a vcr copy of the movie that I got off of tv that lasted me until I could buy a VHS copy for myself. And then I bought the DVD as soon as it came out, only to have to buy it AGAIN when the 20th anniversary edition came out (which was worth it btw). So saying that I was looking forward to the sequel is a bit of an understatement. I saw the test footage they shot for comic-con back in 2008 and I've been waiting with baited breath (or was that jalapenos?) ever since.

Film Review: Avatar

I went to see Avatar yesterday...in 3D.

Any of you out there that wear glasses like I do know what a pain in the ass it seems like to wear glasses OVER glasses. Well, let me tell you, it's exactly the pain in the ass you're imagining. I had to sort of balance them on my nose and lean my head back a little so they wouldn't slide off. And then my field of view was narrowed because the frames were sitting away from my face which blocked my vision some. It was sorta like in a movie when a character is looking through binoculars and the camera shows their view, you get the image of two circles side by side and everything outside of that is black.

Movie Review: The Book of Eli

My wife is an avid scrapbooker and when she gets together with her friends, I take that opportunity to go see movie that she wouldn't like such as anything sci-fi, fantasy, war or otherwise interesting to a gamer. So this weekend she had a scrapbook get-together and I headed down to the local theater to watch The Book of Eli.

Let me start off by saying, I love anything post-apocalyptic! Movies, TV shows, books, games, audio books...anything that involves the world ending in a big flash and surviving afterward, I'm in! So having said that, I had high hopes for this one. I had been looking forward to it since I saw the first trailers a few weeks ago, so when I found out I had some free time I jumped at the chance to go eat over-priced food substitute and leave my shoes stuck to a soda covered floor.
