Saw Flight – the alcoholic coke-fiend flies a plane that breaks and he lands it well enough to not kill everyone. Funny the trailers didn’t suggest the sheer volume of intoxicants this guy takes… Not a bad movie at all … Continue reading
Went to see Disney’s new video-game themed CGI cartoon Wreck-It Ralph and I’m giving it an endorsement. Very funny, very sweet movie that really earns its potentially cheesy emotional moments (who knew Sarah Silverman could tug on the heart strings?). … Continue reading
Saw the new Tom Hangs, Tom Hanks, Tom Hanks, and Tom Hanks movie Cloud Atlas – the 2 hr 50 min 6 interwoven story movie (each with similar themes, each from different time periods, each largely with the same cast). … Continue reading

Loved it… neat action flick about a child assassin (who wouldn’t like that?!). Saroise Ronin plays the lead and she’s very solid. Great action scenes that are proof against all the idiot hyper-cut action flicks out there… and it’s also … Continue reading
