Rational Conservatism from the Rocky Mountains
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a movie review. I suppose that’s in part just because of my general decline in posting to this blog period, but it is also because I’ve not really felt any reason to share my thoughts about most of the recent movies I’ve seen. I just don’t think I [...]
Well, apparently this movie is setting all kinds of Christmas season movie records. I expected it to do well, but I honestly did not expect it to do as well as it is doing so far. It will be interesting to see what sort of legs it has. I am still bemused by the decision [...]
For obvious reasons I have hesitated to write this review. But here it is anyway. I am seriously conflicted about this movie. There were some things I liked a lot, and some things I didn’t like at all. WARNING!!! SPOILERS!!! For example, I like Anne Hathaway. I’ve enjoyed her since the first “Princess Diaries” movie. [...]
The latest installment of the Scrat-based franchise. Each movie the little prehistoric squirrel-rat takes on a more prominent role in his slapstick one-offs which have no actual tie in to the alleged story. The fact that Scrat keeps getting more movie play is probably due to the inability of the writers to come up with [...]
Brave is the latest entry into the “Disney Princess” parade. The young princess in this case, Merida, is a red-haired tomboy who finds the royal life confining, especially when she is told she is to be married off to an allied clan’s prince to retain the thinly held peace of the four clans of the [...]
Went to see this with the Cosmic Wife on a rare day off yesterday. So we saw it in the early afternoon in an almost empty theater. The Cosmic Wife liked it. She thought some of the CGI stuff was wildly overdone, but found the film to be fun and campy. I enjoyed parts of [...]
So… it’s been a week now, or close to it, since “Prometheus” opened. I made some comments in my previous post about my problems with the movie’s “plot”. At that time I didn’t want to spoil it for anyone who might want to go see the movie, but after a week I feel like I [...]
Well, I had low expectations going into this movie. I’m not a big fan of the “Alien” series of movies. I did like “Bladerunner”, but I think that had better material to work with than Alien or Aliens. Still, I wanted to see the show, figuring this would be a special effects extravaganza. It was. [...]
For a decade or so from the late 60s into the 70s I was a pretty avid comic book buyer and reader. I typically preferred Marvel comics to DC comics for a variety of reasons. My favorite Marvel comics were Spiderman, Dr. Strange, Warlock, Fantastic Four, X-Men and every now and then some Thor or [...]
