Blog #67: Movie Review: Safe House

Posted on February 19, 2012 by lmb3

I really liked Safe House, and it answered a question I’ve been asking myself since Green Lantern.  Can Ryan Reynolds actually act?  The answer is a resounding, albeit surprising, yes.  Believe me, I’m just as shocked as you are. Spoilers … Continue reading →

Blog #66: Movie Review: Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 3D

Posted on February 19, 2012 by lmb3

While I love the Star Wars movies, I am by no means a hardcore Star Wars fan (I have always preferred Star Trek).  Perhaps I’m less attached to the original, and that’s why I really like this movie far more … Continue reading →

Blog #60: Movie Review: Underworld: Awakening

Posted on February 2, 2012 by lmb3

First off, this is the best vampire-werewolf movie I’ve seen since Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.  (If it wasn’t obvious, that was a shot at the Twilight movies.) This is a great movie, but let’s be honest.  The main reason … Continue reading →

Blog #58: Movie Review: “Red Tails” aims high, but falls flat.

Posted on January 25, 2012 by lmb3

I loved the action of this movie, and the special effects in this movie, but it completely lacks the impact of other war movies like Saving Private Ryan and The Bridge on the River Kwai.  In short, go see it … Continue reading →

Blog #53: Movie Review: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

Posted on January 13, 2012 by lmb3

I really thought I was going to love this movie.  I didn’t hate it, but I certainly didn’t love it. First the good.  Gary Oldman was magnificent and should be nominated for best actor (though his not speaking for the … Continue reading →

Blog #48: Movie Review: Colombiana

Posted on December 30, 2011 by lmb3

I decided to skip Colombiana when it was in theaters.  While I did enjoy it, I don’t regret that decision. Spoilers ahead. Zoe Saldana plays Cataleya.  As a young girl, she witnessed her parent’s brutal execution in Bogota.  She grows … Continue reading →

Blog #47: Movie Review: Red Riding Hood

Posted on December 28, 2011 by lmb3

I never did see this one in theaters, but I saw it on television this week.  It was okay.  It could have been better, but could have been worse too.  Starring Amanda Seyfried, Gary Oldman, Billy Burke, Shiloh Fernandez, Max … Continue reading →

Blog #46: Movie Review: War Horse

Posted on December 27, 2011 by lmb3

While I enjoyed War Horse, I think it is over hyped.  It will likely win Best Picture at the Oscars, but I don’t think it should.  It was well worth seeing though. Lots of major spoilers ahead.  I am literally … Continue reading →

Blog #45: Movie Review: The Adventures of Tintin (Great Snakes!)

Posted on December 27, 2011 by lmb3

I must confess, I know nothing about the comic book this movie is based on, so I can’t compare it.  What I can say is that the animation is absolutely incredible…nothing really special there.  Amazing computer animation like this is … Continue reading →

Blog #44: Movie Review: Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

Posted on December 27, 2011 by lmb3

Tom Cruise may be one weird dude, but he’s a hell of an actor.  I enjoyed the first three Mission Impossible Movies.  The first was a worthy successor to the famed television series, but I didn’t enjoy any of them … Continue reading →
