I spitefully spread my clearly on-the-way-out cold germs at the movies – Dark Skies… very early show. This is a decent horror movie – an alien abduction movie masquerading as a haunted house movie. It’s like Signs with aliens who … Continue reading
So… classing it up in a goofy storyline, Aaron Eckhart plays the Frankenstein monster in the so-very-serious action/sf flick I, Frankenstein. A movie that tries real hard… tries to be good, tries to be some kind of amalgam of Underworld … 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

Transformers 3 is a good movie marred by the fact it’s a bad movie. That’s the best thing I’ve ever said about a (live action) Transformers movie. For the first time in this series, I actually felt an emotion other … Continue reading
