Thor (2011)

Thor (2011)

How appropriate was it that I chose Thursday (Thor’s Day) to check out the thunder god’s addition to the Marvel take over. It was a moderately large crowd which contained I would assume 50% curious fans who loved Iron Man, 40% geeks who love anything comic book, and 10% Thor fans that know more about him than “that dude who is a god”. Natalie Portman...

Fast Five (2011)

Fast Five (2011)

An excellent job by Vin Diesel and company on this action packed return to form for Fast and Furious series. If you thought that the series was over think again, this reboot has brought back the excitement of the original. Jordana Brewster is slim, tan and absolutely delicious. Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson are JACKED! These two titans clashing took all of the...

I Am Number Four

I Am Number Four

I Am Number Four is an odd choice to make Box Office. The production value, score and special effects seemed more geared towards NBC, FOX or TNT television and the High School in a small town backdrop never seems to do well in major releases. There has always been a problem with the Sci-Fi genre releasing a bunch of turds after every successful nugget. Well...

Sucker Punch

Sucker Punch

Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch was Alice in Wonderland on a landscape of CGI goodness. Judging from the trailers I always us assume that this would be another visual masterpiece similar to that of 300, Sin City, and the other graphic novels turned movies from the past. Emily Browning stars as Baby Doll our Alice in this tale of mental illness delusions and...

The Troll Hunter (Trolljegeren)

The Troll Hunter (Trolljegeren)

The Troll Hunter is a Swedish mockumentary by André Øvredal. It has excellent production value, realistic looking creatures and a realistic enough act by the players involved to make it see almost real. Like Blair witch and other movies shot in this fashion, it begins and ends with the claim that the video footage was found and that perhaps someone out there...

The Mechanic (2011)

The Mechanic (2011)

In a time when the alpha male action hero is pretty much extinct, Jason Statham has taken up the mantle and is holding it up on his shoulders and doing one helluva job. While many people will ignore The Mechanic thinking that it will be yet another Transporter or Crank it is more along the lines of a Bourne Identity, Salt type of movie. There are no twists...
