Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol – best of the series and one of the best action movies of the year. Solid, solid movie that knows how to be a good action movie and to put an action scene together. Great set … Continue reading
So how is is that a kids CGI movie starring a little-known (in the US) character and his dog is somehow less silly and more in the spirit of Raiders of the Lost Ark than the whole of Kingdom of … Continue reading
Rise of the Planet of the Apes was a surprisingly good movie… exciting, a little thoughtful, and amazing to look at (thems some smart ape thinkins). People actually gasped and applauded in the theater so I know they were all … Continue reading
