Iron Man 2

Iron Man 2

Where are all of my true believers? No not the snobs who will whine about John Favreau playing a major role in his own movie, or the Transformers fans who will hate that this had too much story, too little action. I mean my true believers who can tell the difference between a repulsor ray and a uni-beam. If you are a true believer then you will 100% without a...

I’m Here (2010)

I’m Here (2010)

With an eerily beautiful soundtrack (Aska), an urban Los Angeles setting and a Sci-Fi twist of old robots walking amongst human beings.

The 15 minutes of eye candy solidified my interest in the movie and as the nay-sayers...

V (2009)

V (2009)

I was pleasantly happy with the premier of V on ABC. With the nostalgia and love I had for the original series, I re watched the old episodes on SyFy last week in preparation for the new show. In a way I wished that I had left the 1983 miniseries back in the archives of my memory instead of reliving it. While the story remained solid with the assimilation of the...
