A Good Ending to a Trilogy

The Transformers trilogy, officially ended with the final installment: Dark of the Moon.  While the movie was good it is still hard to fathom the movie without having Megan Fox, but I digress.  Though the movie is a good way to end the trilogy, it still had its flaws.  It was far better than the…

X-Men Tries too Hard to be Prequel

Well, the hits keep coming for the X-Men franchise.  The movie has been out for almost two weeks and while it is topping the charts it doesn’t top my list of great superhero/comic book movies.  This movie falls short of all expectations in that it tries too hard to be a prequel.  Digest that last…

Get Suckered in with Sucker Punch

The highly anticipated movie does prove to be excellent.  It is very much so a 300 with girls.  Despite that, there are many great things cinematically.  Sweat Pea is institutionalized and set for a lobotomy so her step father will benefit with her out of the picture to collect an inheritance.  She escapes into a…

George R.R. Martin’s Gem Comes to HBO

If you know the name George R.R. Martin then you should feel the excitement of the new series on HBO, Game of Thrones.  Heralded as his most heralded book in A Song of Ice and Fire series, this show has promise and stays as closely related to the book as possible. The first episode is…

Weekend of Good and Not-So-Good Movies

This weekend produced some duds, but on the whole, not bad. I had the privilege to see the opening of Rango, the Adjustment Bureau and Beastly. The reviews for all three are below. Rango — All in all, the movie is just about perfect for adults and children.  It does not cater to one or…
