Alpha and Omega
Alpha and Omega, 2010, ComedyPlot: A love-story about two wolves who are not in the same class end up having to work together to make it back to their home. Thought: This was a decent alternative to Dreamworks and Disney animated films. It was cheesy, but in a good way. I didn’t enjoy the qualityContinue reading “Alpha and Omega”
Centurion
Centurion, 2010, DramaPlot: A group of Roman soldiers attempt to make it back home after being trapped behind enemy lines and hunted by an expert tracker. Thoughts: This movie was very reminiscent of “Black Plague” based on the plot. Michael Fassbender was a convincing soldier and his supporting cast really made him look good. The movieContinue reading “Centurion”
GasHole
GasHole, 2010, DocumentaryPlot: A look at how the oil industry, combined with politics, uses dirty tactics holds viable/ economical fuel options back. Thought: I thought that this film would have a little bit of a twist to the ever repetitious utterances of people asking for alternative fuel sources, but it was just more of theContinue reading “GasHole”
Fast Five
Fast Five, 2011, ActionPlot: An ensemble of all of the cast of the past “Fast & Furious” installments come together to pull off wicked awesome car stunts.

Kung Fu Panda 2
Kung Fu Panda 2, 2011, Comedy/ ActionPlot: The Dragon Warrior and the Furious 5 come back to battle an evil Peacock named Lord Shen.

Gary OldmanContinue reading “Kung Fu Panda 2”
The Hangover: Part II
The Hangover: Part II, 2011, ComedyPlot: The same plot as the original, except this takes place in Bangkok. Thoughts: I was sorely disappointed in this movie. It was entertaining, but something that was done before.”If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” I guess. Not too much to say other than if you liked the firstContinue reading “The Hangover: Part II”
Tron: Legacy
Tron: Legacy, 2010, Sci-FiPlot: The sequel to the 1982 classic, this movie follows Sam who looks for his father and attempts to save them both after entering the video game.

Superman/Batman: Apocalypse
Superman/ Batman: Apocalypse, 2010, ActionPlot: Superman’s cousin crashes down to Earth and is forced to become one of Darkseid’s private guard. Thoughts: LOVED the animation (a strong hint of Anime in the production) combined with KEVIN CONROY (the only man that can EVER be Batman) and TIM DALY (my favorite version of Superman). Now that allContinue reading “Superman/Batman: Apocalypse”

Wristcutters: A Love Story, 2006, Dark ComedyPlot: Distraught over a bad breakup, a young man commits suicide and is placed in an area of the afterlife where those who commit suicide go.
