Kick-Ass

Kick-Ass

Two things you should do about Kick-Ass – First of all, go out and see Kick-Ass, second of all keep your young impressionable kids (especially the girls) as far away from this one as if it was a pedophile with candy in tow ducking from Chris Hansen. Kick-Ass to me was what you would get, if The Sopranos, Lazytown, Spiderman, and Revenge of The Nerds were...

Casino Royale (2006)

Casino Royale (2006)

This new jumpstart to the James Bond series was a shocking surprise to many a cynic (myself included) who complained that Daniel Craig was an odd choice to play James Bond. We were used to Bond being tall, dark and handsome, not blonde, rough and rugged but boy were we in for a surprise when Casino Royale hit the big screen. Suddenly Craig’s name was being...

Avatar – 3D IMAX

If the visuals don’t hook you then the battle sequences will. Wow, where to start – the anticipation for James Cameron’s Avatar was for a lack of a better word, uncomfortable since the day I was treated to 15 minutes of teaser footage at the local AMC. The 15 minutes of eye candy solidified my interest in the movie and as the nay-sayers...
