Fast and Furious 6 is a dunderheaded action film full of meat heads, explosions, and cars… and it’s the best in the series (given a certain level of affection for the first film). I didn’t much like parts 2-4 and … Continue reading
Saw Star Trek: Into Darkness…. your average movie movie goer and the more casual (or more forgiving) Trek fans should enjoy this flick for the popcorn-eating, gee-whiz spectacle it’s trying to be. It looks great, it’s funny, well acted, and … Continue reading
Saw Iron Man 3 today and it’s pretty great. Surprising how little the trailers have spoiled – there’s huge portions of the plot that have yet to be spoiled and some real surprises to boot. Also, much more of a … Continue reading

So Django Unchained may be my favorite movie of the year… kind of gobsmacked about that but there ya go. It’s a violent (red mist! Jeesh) western/action flick with an awesome soundtrack… it’s the revenge fantasy that Inglorious Basterds wished … Continue reading
