Iron Man was really the perfect beginning to the summer movie season. I saw it Saturday and Sunday. It has been a long long time since a movie truly showcased Robert Downey Jr’s hotness. And he’s quite hot in Iron Man. It feels like something that was horribly wrong with the world has been restored. […]

So I saw Control, and I have to admit during the last 15 minutes of the movie I was counting down until the appearance of the noose.

One of the few Sundance movies my husband was able to get tickets to was Katsuhiro Otomo’s Mushishi or Bugmaster. First of all, I don’t think I was in the right frame of mind to appreciate the movie, because I was tired and watching it late at night. The circular and meandering plot centers around […]

I’m looking forward to September, which oddly enough has two action movies coming out that I’m really looking forward to. The first is Crank, because I am a big fan of the cinematic oeuvre of Jason Statham. I adore the Transporter movies, so there is no way that I’m not going to be there opening […]

I had really low expectations for this movie, and I still ended up being disappointed. For an action movie it seemed curiously dull and flat. I don’t expect much from a Miami Vice movie, but I would have thought that there would at least be a car chase leading to a speedboat chase or a […]

It is a little odd, seeing people resurrect the toys and TV shows of my youth. I dunno about the Transformers movie, but the trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was cute. Now I’m waiting for a Jem and the Holograms movie…
Blogging will be light for the next few days, because I’m going out of […]

I liked this very much. It did feel like a Richard Donner movie with better special effects. I thought Brandon Routh was appropriately Christopher Reevey.

This movie bummed me out. I know that there’s a difference between movie X-Men and comic book X-men in terms of characterization and continuity, but WAY too much stuff happened that seemed totally out of character. Also, it was really anti-woman to an astonishing degree. I mean, if Halle Berry’s Storm is the strongest female […]

I’m not really recommending this movie, unless you are sick of packing, all your dvds are in boxes, you’ve already seen MI:3 and don’t want to see the spelling bee movie, you’re stuck in a torrential rainstorm, and you are not averse to watching movies of the Kurt Russell escaping from things genre. But it […]

The Promise was beautifully filmed and operatically overwrought. I can’t say much for the plot, but you know that you’re seeing a pretty good action movie when the villian fights with razor-tipped fans as his main weapon. It is a nice movie to see if you enjoy a lot of billowing silk and wirework in […]
