Super 8… it just doesn’t work as well as it should. It’s not a bad movie… but it’s not as good as I’d hoped given it’s director and its obvious desire to emulate great 80s Spielberg flicks. It doesn’t gel … Continue reading
Saw Thor – good movie. I know very little about him as a comic book hero… though I know a bit more more about Norse mythology… so it was easy to watch knowing one of the two. Fairly good action, … Continue reading

Saw the film Skyline which, surprisingly, isn’t a movie about chili (Cincinnati-style chili joke – har har)… it’s a rather pedestrian alien invasion flick that thinks its A LOT better than it is. Definitely a flick done on a budget … Continue reading
