Tron made something like 43 million this weekend. Though there are some not so great reviews out there I thought it was awesome. If you’re a true Tron fan from the 80′s movie there are so many things to love about this movie. Lots of tie-ins to the original, fantastic effects, amazing soundtrack by Daft Punk and Olivia Wilde….who wouldn’t love this movie. I had a chance last night to catch it in 3D at the IMAX at City Place here in West Palm Beach. I got lucky and picked one of the last great seats right in the middle (since you had to pick seats). Wow, I loved this movie. The only thing I didn’t like was the digital version of Jeff Bridges as “Clu”. I understand the premis but the characters face just didn’t some out clean and believable. Reminded me too much of Beowulf’s crappy animation when they talked. They should have kept his helmet closed for most of the scenes just to keep that menacing property. I just became distracted by the poor animation quality in making Jeff Bridges look young again. Regardless, I’ll be seeing this movie again before it leaves the theater and the... Continue Reading

Last night I finally made it over to Muvico to catch the new Iron Man movie. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it but the lull in the middle was a bit long. Sam Rockwell’s character “Hammer” was a bit over the top annoying. Whiplash played by Mickey Rourke was especially disturbing but very well done. They even poked a little jab at Captain America (which no one in my theater got at all so I laughed by myself). The appearance of Don Cheadle as Rhody was a good change. Scarlett Johansen was also a fantastic addition to the movie. My favorite... Continue Reading

I finally received this movie via Netflix over the weekend. It was a sweet little movie but not as good as the book I remembered as a kid. The little kid is kind of a brat and most of the movie was kind of sad. Life lessons, etc but the Wild Things were so well done. The costumes and character development was really kind of cool. I think more kids probably liked this over the adults though it does kind of conjure up memories of being a wild little kid. Overall a good flick but it probably won’t make it... Continue Reading

Thanks to Netflix I had a chance to see this movie last night. Wow, what a mind bending movie. Really well written and Sam Rockwell is amazing. Sam’s a lone worker on the Moon harvesting H3 for energy. His 3 year contract is almost up so he can go home to see his wife and kid but when he goes out to check something out he ends up saving another person…himself. Really really good. Definitely a great watch. ... Permalink

All I have to say is wow, this movie was amazing. I had a chance to see it in 3d at Muvico down the street and wow. Stunning visual effects and a pretty good story line, though the previews do give away quite a bit if you pay attention. It’s definitely a must see movie. I’m not sure about the “future of movies” comment everyone seems to be making. It’s an evolution of how movies are made but it’s still a movie never the less. The overall production cost of Avatar was 300 million and it made over 274 million... Continue Reading

I was really dying to do something other than hang by the pool yesterday. I know we’ve got it pretty good down here but with the total lack of surf the weekends have become somewhat mundane and boring (can’t wait to get a bike for something else to do). So I decided to catch The Hangover, a hilarious movie about a bachelor party in Vegas. It was awesome, wish I’d seen it earlier. I walked down to Muvico by myself and got a great seat and took it all in. By far the best part of the movie was the... Continue Reading

I had a chance last night to hit the movies and catch the new Transformers Movie and to be honest with you it was a bit of a let down. Could have been my mood too, I guess. One screaming baby and a couple of “won’t shut up” teenagers behind me. But it was entertaining. The action was amazing and of course, so where the special effects but the storyline and a couple new characters made me feel like I was watching a cartoon, not a movie…and could Micheal Bay bay blow up more stuff [sarcasm]. The primary cast was... Continue Reading
