Inception

This is an interesting movie.  It is probably the only movie I know that you have to pay full attention in and stay engaged with because it is such a mind job.  Literally.  The special effects are cool.  The concepts are crazy and the acting is interested.  I quite enjoy the movie.  If you haven't watched it, check it out.  I added the top.  You'll know what it is for after you watch the movie.

Ghostbusters

Truly a comedy/horror classic.  I, of course, have the 4k movie.  Definitely worth the entertainment factor.

Ghostbusters II

Ghostbusters II was not quite as good as Ghostbusters, but it was still an enjoyable movie.  Well worth watching nonetheless.  Funny. I love the ghost train and ghost titanic.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife

I figured I'd wrap up the current 3 movie timeline.  (For the record, the money-losing disaster that was the start of the Hollywood crap show of the last few years "Ghostbusters 2016" is not part of canon at idiot director Paul Fool's insistence) This movie is kind of an apology from Sony for the above mentioned crap show.  It has plenty of little fan thank yous.  And the main plotline is actually a pretty touching tribute.  Also of interesting note, they forced Bill Murray to appear i

Superman Returns

I saw this on Saturday. If you have the opportunity, go see it in 3D at the IMAX. Very cool. IMAX is nice because of the far superior sound system. The 3D effects while cool, I could take or leave.

V for Vendatta

I must admit that this movie is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.  It is very well done and the actors do a great job all across the board.  It has gay characters and that are really in a hard spot in the movie. The reason for my guilt is because this movie is clearly a propaganda piece by someone that doesn't understand history at all.  This movie is what a 'progressive' thinks a 'conservative' is.  While in reality, it is projection on the part of the writers.   The movie is in

American Assassin

I really enjoyed this movie.  It was good to see Micheal Keaton back in the game.  I'll admit that I also like staring at Dylan O'Brien.  I've heard really good things about the books as well.  There is a series of them.  This is one of those rare cases where I've seen the movie before reading the books.   I think this might be a new pattern for me, actually.  By watching the movie before reading the book, I can enjoy the movie for what it is and then read the book and enjoy that too.

The Hitman's Bodyguard

I really enjoyed this movie. I got a few really good laughs out of it.  I'm a big fan of Samuel L. Jackson as long as he's acting and not yapping about politics.  He plays a really great BAMF.  (Bad Ass Mother F....).  This is true in most things he shows up in.    This movie has both action and comedy.  It is definitely adult targetted.  If you are into action romps with comedy, this fits well.  Ryan Reynolds does come across a bit as his Deadpool character at times.  That's not a bad

Batman Begins

So, I really, really enjoyed this movie.  It had a more grounded comic book movie approach than the over-the-top-campy the George Clooney and Val Kilmer Batman movies went.  And of course, this set up The Dark Knight, one of the best comic book movies ever.  Which, unfortunately was folllowed by the worse Batman movie of all,  The Dark Knight Falls.  The batman movie that is 2.5 hours long with about 5 minutes of Batman.  Ugh.  Stupid. But knowing the end of the trilogy does not stop the gr

Spider-Man: Homecoming

So I finally got around to watching this.  I shouldn't have waited so long.  Oh... mmmm.  Tom Holland.  What an adorable Spider-Man he makes.  What a great selling feature too, showing him in boxers.  More than once.  lol. Eye candy aside, both male and special effects, I also enjoyed the movie in general.  It's really good to see Micheal Keaton back to acting again.  He did a good job with a complex character.   I'd definitely say this is worth having in your library.  The 4k ver

Jurassic Park - Movie

This movie was crazy in 1993.  The soaring music, the visuals.  The special effects. The dinosaurs.  The humor. I miss when they made good original movies now and then.  No lectures.  No harassment. Just good entertainment.  They spared no expense

Justice League

With my internet down for 3 days except for phone, I've had some time to catch up on other things. (oddly enough).  I got around to watching this finally and I enjoyed it.  Ezra Miller in spandex.... mmm. There were a couple of spots that were a little slower and superman, as ever, is an overpowered hero.  I'd say about 8/10.  well worth watching and keeping in my collection.

Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker

So, I mentioned the book for this in the blog last Friday, so I thought I'd mention this movie.  The release kind of sucks as for some stupid reason, they haven't released a widescreen dvd or a Blu-Ray.  It is a cute little action movie with a lot of familiar British faces.  It's a quick romp with nice eyecandy.  There are worse things out there.

Force of Nature - A "B" Action Movie

I'll have to admit I picked this movie up on a whim. Mel Gibson action movies are usually entertaining.  And Emile Hirsch has had an interesting career. It was a bad movie, if you like brain-off B flicks.  I'll have to admit this groaner though... saw Mel Gibson and my immediate comment was "He's getting too old for this shit". If you see it somewhere on a streaming service and want to kill some time, there are worse ways to do it.  I wouldn't buy it.

2 Guns

This was a nice little action movie.  And I generally enjoy any movie Denzel Washington shows up in.  If you haven't you seen it, and you like action movies, this is worth checking out.

Christmas Shopping and Star Dust

Well, it is the end of another day and time for a little stream of conciousness. I have officially completed my Christmas shopping. I hate Christmas shopping for my family because, frankly, if someone in my family wants something, they go get it. But, as I said, I'm done. I now just need to spend the evening tomorrow wrapping everything. I will also spend some time in the kitchen cooking up some gifts for some friends at work.   Stardust (and the Simpsons Movie) hit DVD today. If you hav

Getting some stuff done

I've had a busy little day today. I got a bunch of stuff done around the house. I went to see "I Am Legend". It was good, but weird. Interesting story concept at least.   I also got some time in with Mass Effect today. I'm looking to get more done with that tomorrow.   I did manage to focus a bit on Gay Authors today. I worked on the letter and poll I'm setting up for the end of the year.   Right now, I'm working on installing a major new program that is a beta. It is looking like i

Dune Movie 2021

Please no one tell @Cia, but I still have not read Frank Herbert's Dune.  Though I have seen 2021 Dune movie starring Timothée Chalamet. I enjoyed the visuals a lot in this movie.  It can been a bit slow at times, but it was nice to disconnect and just enjoy it.  They made one hell of a big set up... I hope all the changes at going on a Discovery/Warner Bros doesn't ruin a sequel for this.

Oblivion

This was an interesting spin on sci-fi.  The special effects and visuals were really good.  I have added the 4k Blu-Ray to my library. If you haven't seen it and you like sci-fi and some action, check it out.  It's been out long enough that you should be able to find it on one of those streaming services.
