I’m a huge fan of documentaries. So far, my favorites have been about Scrabble, spelling bees, professional bowlers, and Donkey Kong. But this one? I don’t know what to do with it. It’s like a train wreck – I can’t look away.

A Review of “Up”
Posted in Movies on June 17, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I love Pixar films. In my opinion (and in pretty much everyone else’s), they haven’t missed yet. Finding Nemo was incredible. Toy Story 2 was even better than Toy Story 1, and that’s really saying something. And that kid in Monster’s Inc. is so cute I want to punch myself in [...]

Loved this video from History in the Making. Ben Arment writes:
Some of the most unforgettable speeches come from movies. The right words move people to action. They stick in people’s hearts and unleash them to new possibilities. The phrases themselves become iconic. Here are 40 inspirational speeches from the movies in two minutes:

I am what you would call a slightly-more-than-casual fan of Star Trek. That is to say, I know the names and traits of the original cast of characters, can tell you the plot lines of the first six movies or so, and know who Khan is, but I can’t write this [...]

I’ll admit – I’m not a huge fan of debates, mainly because I get sweaty armpits for the people involved. But this film looks so well done I was immediately captured by it. By clicking below, you can watch:
Preview of the first 13 minutes of the forthcoming documentary “Collision”. The film follows renowned author and [...]
Gran Torino

I’ll be honest – I could listen to Clint Eastwood growl for 2 hours. And that’s at least part of what I got in Gran Torino. He literally, audibly, growls. And he’s great at it.
If you watch the preview above you get the synopsis of the movie. Clint Eastwood is Walt, [...]

…and I loved it.
And if you’re one of the 3 people that hasn’t seen it yet, this post will be spoiler-free. To start off with, everybody in this movie is great. Christian Bale is great. Michal Cain is always great. Morgan Freeman – great. And Aaron Eakhart is very great.
Heath Ledger is a step beyond [...]
The Dark Knight

That’s right friends – The Dark Knight opens tonight. If you don’t know what it is, shame on you. But I’ll tell you – I’m seeing it tomorrow night, and I’m as excited as I’ve ever been about a movie. Here are some choice quotes from critics about the movie:
“The most brilliantly complex, perfectly paced, [...]
The Difference in Rocky and Indiana Jones (part 2)
Posted in Movies on June 20, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Yesterday I had a love fest with Rocky Balboa, writing alot about how the story was what drove the good movies in the series. Not the fights. It was originally about the character of Rocky, and that’s what made the newest movie good, too.
So now we come to Indiana Jones.
Another recreation. Another movie. Another return [...]
The Difference in Rocky and Indiana Jones (part 1)
Posted in Movies on June 19, 2008 | 4 Comments »
This year, both of these films revived two of my all time favorite movie characters – Rocky Balboa and Henry Jones, Jr (aka “Indiana”). One did it right; the other one did not.
I loved the original Rocky. I loved it because despite what the movie posters might say, this movie isn’t about boxing at all. [...]
