  • The Illusionist

    At first I was a bit worried that the movie was going to be a bit “dark” (the first sean shows the guy calling up a spirit), but Im glad that my friends were there to keep me going because it turns out to be a great movie.

    Its based around a love story, so that keeps the girls sucked in, and the illusions keep the guys hooked.

    Great movie, highly recommended.


  • 300

    As I understand the movie is based on a real event, and is some what accurate.

    Its been shot in front of a blue screen, so a lot of effects can be added latter on, and a lot were, from the weather to massive army’s.
    I don’t want to give too much away, but its a movie about how 300(ish) Spartans held off 150,000 Persians for about 3 days.
    The movie has lots of blood in it, so just keep that in mind when you are choosing if you want to see it.

    I found its style a bit hard to get into at first, but soon found it rather compelling.
    I’m not sure I would go straight to “I enjoyed it”, but, yeah, its up there with some of the more interesting movies I have seen…..its pretty memorable.


  • John Tucker Must Die

    A guy is dating 3 girls at the same time, they find out and plot to expose his womanizing ways.

    Sorry, thats it, it never goes anywhere, a few little smirks, but no real laughs, no characters, no plot.

    Great chick (teenage chicks) flick.


  • Wild Hogs

    Light fluffy entertainment, a few good chuckles, but most of the jokes are strained, and deliberately set up just to get a laugh.
    The sad part is that some of the mid-life crises that the actors try and pass off can be a little true, but its dealt with in an off handed way, so has little value or effect in the movie.

    It was a nice night out with the boys, but a Linux / Windows install fest with a few beers would have been more fun.


  • X-Men III

    Seen the fist 2? If so, then you have seen this one…..

    Same old, confused good struggles with confused bad who both together struggle with confused humans.

    Some good effects, but over all its just the same old stuff.

    Be sure and watch for the snippet after the credits and get ready for X-Men IIII
