So unless you’ve been living under a rock, (and my how cozy that must be!) you’re aware Iron Man 3 debuted this past weekend. I’ll try and keep this review spoiler-free, but in case I don’t I will give you a fair, bold warning. So lets get to it.

Review: Olympus Has Fallen…

Posted on April 5, 2013 by | Leave a comment

olympus.has.fallen… down on its face. Don’t get me wrong, Olympus Has Fallen wasn’t a terrible movie, and it wasn’t necessarily a bad movie for that matter either, but there are just a few points that I found to be too distracting to really enjoy this movie.

So the premise is the White House gets attacked and the President of the United States is taken hostage. Gerard Butler plays Mike Banning, an ex-secret service agent who has to rescue the President and his son.

The verdict on Cool Ranch Doritos Taco from Taco Bell- Thanks but no thanks.

Posted on March 22, 2013 by | 3 Comments

coolranchtacoAlright Taco Bell, we need to talk. First off, allow me to say I am a fan. I think you have a great dollar menu, and I’ve always liked your Chalupa and Crunchwrap Supreme. However, this new thing you’ve got going with the Cool Ranch and Nacho Cheese Doritos taco shell is just not working out.

For starters, it makes the taco extremely messy. Because the Dorito shell, it soaks up more of the moisture from the beef and it just breaks apart. The fact it comes in a cardboard shell doesn’t help that. But hey, I understand it’s for marketing purposes.

Argo – A damn fine film!

Posted on February 26, 2013 by | 3 Comments

I’m sure you’ve probably heard by now, the Oscars were this pass Sunday. Once again Leonardo DiCaprio was passed over, and so to this day he does not have a single Oscar award (what a shame).

The honor of Best Picture went to Argo, and thus we find ourselves at the man subject of the blog. I finally went and saw Argo on Sunday afternoon before the Awards, and it blew me away. After finding out Argo won Best Picture I couldn’t have been happier. It was phenomenal! When I first heard of the movie last year, I didn’t think too much of it. I thought the media surrounding it was just hype over Ben Affleck, but boy was I wrong.  Continue reading →

A Good Day to Die Hard: How a son in the CIA reconnected with his father

“So you’ve done this before?”

So Valentin’s day, what do you do? Well you see the most romantic movie that’s out of course, A Good Day to Die Hard. This movie makes for the fifth film of the Die Hard series, and in my opinion, one of the weakest.

To be honest, it was just okay. Sure there were shoot-outs and large explosions aplenty, but by the end the movie just felt like it was lacking. Let me follow-up that assessment with this, I did not go into the theater thinking A Good Day to Die Hard would be the next greatest action movie of all time with a plot full of substance and finesse or expect academy award-winning performances. It’s a guilty pleasure action film, one you watch because not only have they ‘jumped the shark’ but they went back and took that shark to the moon.

Zero Dark Thirty: My thoughts

Posted on January 21, 2013 by | 2 Comments

zero-dark-thirty

Alright, so this is my ”review” of Zero Dark Thirty (ZDT). First off, I find it hard to look at Zero Dark Thirty the same as any other movie because of the content. So this is going to be less of a review and more like a discussion. For me, I didn’t know much about how they captured Osama Bin Laden, so I was looking to ZDT to give me a general idea of how it happened. Obviously I wasn’t looking for a true-to-life account of what precisely happened, because it’s a movie and not a documentary. However it did have a bullet point, event-based feel to it.

Gangster Squad: So much potential it hurts.

GANGSTER SQUAD

So last night I saw Gangster Squad, and with an all-star cast of Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, and Robert Patrick I was expecting it to blow my mind. But life is hard and full of disappointments, and Gangster Squad was one of them.
