Futurama: Bender’s Game, 2008, ComedyPlot: The Planet Express crew attempt to thwart Mom’s stranglehold on the fuel economy for her use in exploiting and using dark matter. Thoughts: This movie wasn’t as good as the last. It had many sci-fi geek references and nerdgasms there were many throughout. The story was solid as usual, itContinue reading “Futurama: Bender’s Game”

Under Siege, 1992, ActionPlot: A group of terrorist hijack a US Navy Battleship to sell it’s Tomahawks. Fortunately for the US, ex-Seal Casey Ryback is aboard the ship.

Sarah’s Key, 2010, Drama Plot: A woman investigates the 1942 capture and enslavement of Jews in Paris, primarily focusing on a young woman named Sarah who has seemingly made it through.

The Losers, 2010, ActionPlot: A group of ex-CIA agents go after a man who set them up to be killed on a mission. Thoughts: This was a better film than I thought it would be.

The Glimmer Man, 1996, ThrillerPlot: Two cops follow the trail of a serial killer. Thoughts: Another Seagal flick, another laughable disappointment. This movie was a poor man’s Rush Hour (and that’s saying something since it’s creation was several years before the release of that movie. I guess Keenan Ivory Wayans was coming off of the highContinue reading “The Glimmer Man”

World’s Most Dangerous Drug, 2006, DocumentaryPlot: A look into the boom of the drug methamphetamine and its effects on the world.

The beginning was very informative and I had no clue that the drug had spread soContinue reading “World’s Most Dangerous Drug”

Dogs Decoded, 2010, DocumentaryPlot: Another documentary about dogs. Thoughts: Average documentary, just reiterated the information I learned in the previous one. 2.6/5

Exit Wounds, 2001, ActionPlot: Seagal plays a cop who has been shipped to the worst precinct in the Detroit area. He finds himself up against thugs, gangsters, and fellow cops who have slipped into the crime they’ve sworn to stop. Thoughts: Seagal, DMX, Michael Jai White Anthony Anderson, Eva Mendes.

Tigers of the Snow, 1997, DocumentaryPlot: A look at the Siberian Tiger’s decline in population due to poaching and deforestation. Thoughts: This film was less about tigers and more about how people are helping them…which got pretty boring after the first few minutes. I wish that we had seen more of them and actually talkedContinue reading “Tigers of the Snow”
