• Revolutionary Road

  Posted on Sunday June 28th, 2009 at 21:04 in movies and tv

  This was a good, but ultimately depressing movie. Maybe parts of it hit too close to home. Which, I guess, is what a good movie is supposed to do. In the end, though, I found myself hoping that this couple would just up and go to Paris already. Yes, ...

• Yes Man

  Posted on Thursday June 25th, 2009 at 10:38 in movies and tv

  Actually, I tried to give this movie three stars, but my finger just wouldn’t click on it. It wasn’t a bad movie, exactly. It was just one of those mindless comedies. Honestly, I was left feeling like Jim Carrey’s incredible talent ...

• Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

  Posted on Monday June 22nd, 2009 at 08:22 in movies and tv

  I think I liked this movie better than Victoria did. But it wasn’t much more than good, campy fun. I think anybody going into it expecting more than that will be disappointed. This is the kind of movie you watch on a big screen TV through a sur...

• Les Misérables

  We watched an amazing movie today. At first we thought it was a version of Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, but it turned out to be much more. It wasn’t the telling of Victor Hugo’s story as much as it was a movie inspired by it. I...

• Surfer, Dude

  Posted on Tuesday February 3rd, 2009 at 16:45 in movies, movies and tv

  I’ve seen worse movies. That’s about as good of a recommendation as I can give for Surfer, Dude. Overall the movie felt like I was hanging out with Matthew McConaughey and co-stars Woody Harrelson and Willie Nelson; which isn’t nece...

• Tropic Thunder

  We watched Tropic Thunder tonight. It wasn’t something I’ve been dying to watch, but all the clips I’d seen of Robert Downey Jr. sort of bumped it up a bit in my estimations. I’m not a Ben Stiller fan. Sorry, folks. He does no...

• Alive

  We watched the movie Alive tonight. It’s the story of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 that crashed in the Andes mountains on October 13, 1972. The flight carried 45 people, but by the time they were rescued 72 days later, there were only 16 surv...

• Sense & Sensibility

  We watched Sense & Sensibility tonight. Victoria’s been dying for me to watch it with her since she got it on DVD. Being a guy, I have a genetic predisposition to run when someone mentions something that, let’s face it, is mostly cons...

• Battlestar Galactica Mid-Season Premiere

  Posted on Friday January 16th, 2009 at 22:29 in TV, movies and tv

  We watched the mid-season premiere of Battlestar Galactica tonight. Okay, that’s a strange concept for me, but I understand that at least some it had to do with last year’s writer’s strike. Either way, I was eager to get back into t...
