Having been a big fan of Poe in high school, I had been curious to see this one, James McTeigue has been a pretty solid director and being a fan of V for Vendetta I was curious to see how this one would turn out. I know critics didn't like this one very much...[more]...

Boondock Saints is a decent movie, anyone who knows the backstory of this film knows it could have been a GREAT movie...[more]...

I know this one didn't do so well at the box office, but was still pretty excited to see it...[more]...

Finally got around to checking this one out...[more]...

Have been looking forward to seeing this one for quite some time and having avoided trailers and spoilers I was going into it pretty fresh to the material...[more]...

Checked this one out on Blu Ray, hadn't seen it in quite some time...

For starters, this movie is just simply a guilty pleasure...anyone other than Adam Sandler trying to pull of this movie would fail miserably. The premise and story are pretty stupid and the dialogue delivered in any way other than Sandler's would be brutal...This movie is essentially Happy Gilmor with football. Swap out Weathers for Bates, Golf for Football, Love Interest and Antagonist and you pretty much have a similar movie.

Casting was decent, Kathy Bates was excellent and I'm still to this day surprised at how well she fits in, Henry Winkler is also great and probably owes Sandler some credit for resurging his career. The rest of the cast is pretty much filled with Sandler regulars.

The Blu Ray was decent, there's punchy chroma and then there's The Waterboy...damn those uniforms were bright. It's almost as if they were glowing. Not sure if that's a negative, but the disk looked decent with the exception of some over compensated chroma at times.

Overall, it's silly...but it's a fun mindless time when Sandler was near the top of his game.

Watched this one for the first time the other night, have to say it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

Usually movies adapted from Television shows don't turn out so well, especially when they're comedies. With this one, they certainly seemed to get a lot of things right.

The premise was pretty stupid, but the movie just worked. You have to give the writers credit. Taking a stereotypical plot from the 80's and adapting it into a full blown movie that doesn't come off stupid, doesn't drag and is pretty damn entertaining.

The comedy was decent, great mix of situational comedy, gags, one liners all mixed with some decent action sequences. Let's face it, Channing Tatum doesn't exactly have the best track record when it comes to movies...but comedy?! I was pleasantly surprised. Jonah Hill also had some great timing and chemistry with Tatum which is what made the movie work so well. The addition of Ice Cube was excellent and he clearly stole every scene he was in. Also, some great little cameos sprinkled throughout to keep momentum going.

The blu ray was excellent, no complaints at all.

Overall, a surprisingly decent comedy that is probably one of the funniest movies I've seen released in the past couple of years. Definitely need to watch this one again!!!

Finally got around to checking this one out, wasn't sure what to expect...[more]...

Very ambitious movie for a low budget afair. I had heard mixed things about this one from different people and finally got my hands on a copy...[more]...

Snagged this one in the Blu Ray bargain bin, I remember enjoying it as a kid and haven't seen it in years...[more]...

Finally got around to checking this one out on Blu Ray...[more]...

I had heard a few friends tell me about how cool this movie looked, I saw a copy on blu ray for the bargain bin price of $3 and decided to take a chance on it with a blind buy...[more]...

Got around to checking this one out on Blu Ray, hadn't seen it in a very long time and I had completely forgotten that this one was done by J.J. Abrams...[more]...

Is this the same Ethan Hunt...[more]...

Revisited this one this past week...holds up pretty well. I remember being 13 when I saw this one in theaters the first time, it was my introduction to John Grisham stories and IMHO it's probably one of the better Grisham movies to make the big screen...[more]...

Got around to watching this one on Blu Ray, had heard some good things about it and the cast looked decent.

The plot which was inspired by true events is pretty straight forward. JGL and Rogen are best friends, JGL gets diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and proceeds to go through life. Pretty much every single element of this movie is forseen coming by anyone who's seen their fair share of these type of movies. No real twists, a few good chuckles along the way and a feel good ending.

It's a good way to kill a few hours and was entertaining, probably not a movie I'd revisit on a regular basis, but was certainly worth checking out. The acting was great, everyone did a decent job with Anjelica Huston stealing most of the scenes she was in
. The dialogue was well written...I think it's just the overall plot that falls a bit flat.

The Blu Ray looked decent, nothing that would blow you away, but no complaints either. Sharp picture, detail blacks and tones were great.

Overall, glad I watched it. I'm going to hang onto this one...not sure if I'll watch it very often, but just in case.

I know I'm in the minority, but i thought G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra was a great adaptation of the comics/cartoons. Sure, it had it's flaws with the mangled character relationships and their biggest mistake was making a movie close to the cartoon and trying to relate that to adults...[more]...

I put off seeing this one for a while due to the Adam Sandler crew involved. Was expecting a movie full of toilet humor and hit or miss jokes...[more]...

I remember being a bit let down with this movie the first time I saw it. I think I was expecting something with a lot more action, must like the later entries in the series...[more]...

I have always had a hard time trying to distinguish which of the Ford outings of Jack Ryan I like better.

Ford was at the top of his game in this one and as we all know he's not the most versatile actor in the world, we do get standard Ford line delivery, the charming facial expressions and even a few memorable speeches all of which make his performance excellent...the plot is a bit more intricate than Patriot Games and makes up for less action with a bit more drama, politics and story. The supporting cast was excellent, James Earl Jones and Anne Archer, both in limited roles were excellent and Willem Dafoe was awesome as he always is.

The blu ray was sharp with nice details and decent for a movie of this age. No haze, tones, chroma and blacks were all great. No complaints at all.

Overall, it's a personal favorite of mine and certainly a movie I've seen many times and will see many more times in the future. It was a bit of a no-brainer picking this one up. Certainly a must have in my collection.
