I thought I’d do some quick reviews of movies that are available on demand for Netflix. The pickins are a little slim, but if you’re like me you forget to mail back the movies you just watched for about 3 weeks. I think I just mailed back a movie that I had gotten when it [...]
Netflix, of which I’m a big fan, took another hit from the movie studios today. While it looked to be the reasonable answer to the digital age in movies as iTunes was to music, apparently they won’t be going about this without a fight. You may recall recently, new releases are beginning to be removed [...]
For almost every holiday or season, I have a movie tradition that sort of kicks it off. One of the few I hadn’t found one for was winter itself. This winter, in particular, I was needing some themed escapism while my face regained feeling. Christmas pretty much takes all the good movies for winter, so [...]
As a fan of superhero movies and a lifelong wearer of a towel as a cape, my interest had to be peaked by the upcoming movie “Kick Ass.” It’s about regular folks that decide to put on costumes and become superheroes..much like my entire life before I was 12. Ok before I was 27. The [...]
Is Netflix really going to stop renting out new releases? Well…actually yes and no. I’m a huge fan of Netflix..they’ve gotten their delivery system down to a science, and with their on-demand movies it really is a bargain at 14.99 (16.99 with BluRay) a month. So why the heck would they stop renting new release [...]
Avatar (Rated PG-13) Directed by James Cameron Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez Runtime – 2 hours 32 minutes Now on its way past $1 billion dollars worldwide, I finally caught Avatar 3D in a nearly packed theater on a Wednesday night. This is one of the few films that, more than 3 weeks into [...]
Ghostbusters 3 has had countless rumors over the past few years, but recently they’ve started to get more definitive. Most likely, it will be a total destruction of the iconic 80′s original, but secretly millions of 35 year olds hope that its going to be awesome. Over at SlashFilm, they’re reporting Harold Ramis (Egon from [...]
Not wanting to admit too often, but the American Pie 1 and 2 movies are some of my all-time favorite comedies. Perhaps because the characters were the identical age I was when released, so the story was sort of targeted at my generation. Multiple direct-to-dvd sequels with none of the original cast (save Jim’s dad) [...]
Like many, I caught up on a few movies I missed during the break. Mostly recent DVD releases. If you’re curious whether they’re worth the rental, here’s my quick takes on these 2009 blockbusters and how good they really were. The Hangover A movie that had a lot of hype for me, and a lot [...]
Lots of buzz on this March release…. Hot Tub Time Machine may be a movie right up my alley. A mix of Road Trip, The Office, and Back to the Future. I’ll definitely be there…whether it will be good or not isn’t apparent from this trailer, but it looks promising. There is obviously a decent [...]
