Why I Hate the X-Men Movies
Ever since 2000, I have had a major thorn in my side, and you can blame the people behind the X-Men movies for that. As something I’ve always held dear to my heart, the X-Men series is that of legend. It’s truly epic, and shouldn’t be tampered with. For years I had been wanting to see my favorite characters up on the big screen, and when it finally happened, I wanted to die.
Evolution Of Pixar: Robots Can Fall In Love
Wall-E. Pixar took us to ground level & beyond with A Bug’s Life. They took us to the depths of the ocean with Finding Nemo. And now we venture into space with one of the most loveable characters ever created.
Evolution Of Pixar: The Incredibles & Cars
And Pixar continues it’s magical streak with one of my favorite films of all time. Not just animated,in general. The Incredibles is an astonishing piece of work that it’s cue from the superhero lore (one obvious inspiration being the mighty Watchmen).
Evolution Of Pixar: Monsters & Fish Oh My!
So three highly successful films,one being the rare sequel that tops the original. Surely they must run out steam right?I mean they already resorted to a sequel so maybe they’re out ideas right? Well their next film is about the world of monsters.
Evolution Of Pixar: Bugs & More Toys
So Pixar made their first movie & made a killing at the box office. Pixar took their success with a grain of salt though & opted not to just get lazy. Their second feature is in my honest opinion, very underrated.
Evolution Of Pixar: Toy Story
In 1995 Pixar released the groundbreaking Toy Story. I have very fond memories if seeing this film during the Thanksgiving break when I was ten years old. I remember my parents dropping me off for the first showing on opening day (why that was important to me is still unknown. I was ten so whatever). The commercials on I saw on TV were nothing short of amazing & to a child like me, it was a mu...[Read More]
The Evolution Of Pixar
This summer brought us the spectacular Toy Story 3. The film was a beautiful and perfect ending to the Toy Story saga (which by the way,saga is more worthy of a title here than those damn Twilight movies but I digress). But as I left the theater I began to wonder what I’m sure many have wondered: How in the bloody hell has the studio Pixar been able to pull off what they have so far?
Dinner for Schmucks Advance Review
Yesterday morning when I woke up I noticed an email from gofobo inviting me to an advance screening of the upcoming comedy Dinner for Schmucks. Both Lindsey and I have been looking forward to this movie from the exceptionally funny trailers, so it was a pleasant surprise, especially considering that most of the invitations I receive from gofobo are for movies I have absolutely no interest in.
Green Lantern Promo Images
Earlier this month, we saw the first look at Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern courtesy of Entertainment Weekly’s cover shot. News has hit that the suit seen there is not the final suit design for the film, which is a huge weight off my shoulders. Unfortunately, we have also heard that the white gloves will not be making an appearance. Anyway, to business (To business!).
First Look at Green Lantern
Green Lantern is one of my top-three favorite superheroes. I have not loved all iterations of Green Lantern, but the three greatest to ever where the green battery (Alan Scott, Hal Jordan, Kyle Rayner) are some of my favorite characters in both the DC and Marvel universes. Each of these three has his own character traits that both sets him apart from the other Green Lanterns, and binds him to th...[Read More]
How to Train Your Dragon
When I first heard the title to the recent DreamWorks movie How to Train Your Dragon, I thought, “Oh, great! I could always use a little more dexterity and performance out of my ‘dragon’!” Unfortunately, as trailers started hitting the Internet, I discovered that this was a movie of quite a different sort. I still wanted to give it a chance, but I didn’t get around...[Read More]
‘Grown Ups’ Review
Everybody should go out and see Grown Ups while it’s still in theaters, but be careful of who you sit next to. With that out of the way, let’s get into just how hilarious Grown Ups really is. The plot for the movie is that the five main stars (Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, Rob Schneider) are all childhood friends who played on the school basketball team together. ...[Read More]
