Since May 4th is Star Wars Day (May the Fourth be with you), I thought I would share a couple Star Wars memories. In particular I want to share 3 memories, of when I saw each of the original Star Wars movies. Each one is a vivid memory for me, which says a lot about […]
Read moreQuick Review: Dawn of Justice
Despite the loads of negative reviews, we took the plunge and went and saw Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. I’m going to get into some spoilers so I’ll banter here for a moment before putting in a page break. The spoiler-free review is that I didn’t really mind this movie at all. It had […]
Read moreQuick Review: Man of Steel
Tomorrow we’re going to take the plunge and see Batman v Superman. In preparation for that we rented Man of Steel tonight. I wasn’t totally sure what to expect, but I had heard that Man of Steel wasn’t that bad. So we rented it and the family spent our Friday evening seeing yet another origin […]
Read moreGoosebumps Movie
We had a heck of a time deciding what movie to watch as a family on Friday night, but we eventually decided on Goosebumps. We had all heard mostly positive things about it, and so we plunged in. I actually had never read any of the Goosebumps books growing up, but I knew about them. […]
Read moreBustin ghosts again
The world was treated today, to the new Ghostbusters relaunch trailer. This all-female team of paranormal warriors is set to take on the new era of ghostbusting in New York. The trailer was filled with moments of nostalgia, and scenes of classic equipment. Even when something wasn’t an exact copy of the 1984 movie, it […]
Read moreSaw Deadpool
After our run on Sunday morning, the wife and I decided to hit a movie. There are three films that have our attention in theaters right now; Hail Ceaser!, Deadpool, and Zoolander 2. I feel like Zoolander 2 is best left for a video rental, and so between the other two, we opted for Deadpool. […]
Read moreQuick Review: Spectre
Tonight the wife and I finally got to watch the most recent James Bond film. If this is indeed Daniel Craig’s final Bond film, he went out with a good flick as his last. As expected this is a traditional Bond film, with all the trappings of sex, guns, and chases, but with some added […]
Read moreQuick Review: San Andreas
Our original plan for Saturday night was to watch the latest Bond movie, Spectre, but it appears that it wasn’t out for rental yet. So we scrolled through the list of other recent movies and decided on San Andreas. The plot of this movie is simple. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, takes on the biggest earthquake […]
Read moreBonding weekend
This past weekend my wife and I got a bit more caught up on the James Bond movie series. We had both seen Casino Royale many years ago, but hadn’t bothered watching any of the newer flicks. Since we had a weekend together without any kids around, we decided to watch Quantum of Solace on […]
Read moreQuick Review: Moon
Pretty much ever since we’ve been together, my wife has suggested I watch the movie Moon. It’s the story of a solitary astronaut who works on the moon harvesting clean energy for Earth. He’s a couple weeks away from the end of his three year contract, and excited to get going home. However, things take […]
Read moreQuick review: The Giver
This weekend my wife found a bunch of movies in Hulu that were just there for the weekend. Last night we decided to watch The Giver based on the 1993 book by Lois Lowry. The basic premise of the film is that war and strife has been eliminated in society by the application of strict […]
Read moreReturn to Hogwarts
Last night we were going to rent The Martian. My kids weren’t really feeling like watching that one though, when my oldest suggested that we watch one of the Harry Potter films. With the passing of Alan Rickman this week, it seemed appropriate, and so we put in Harry Potter and the Order of the […]
