The Colony

I've seen many previews as I check out one of my favorite networks...The Discovery Channel....for The Colony. Also referred to as The Colony Experiment...takes reality television to a new level. As anyone checked this out? I'm currently loading them up to my DVR to catch up...

Raging Bull

Happy Birthday Robert DiNero!

Arguably Raging Bull is the ultimate classic of his lovely collection of movies. It is definetly one of the best, but that man has plenty of options to chose from. Taxi Driver, Heat, Meet The Parents, Analzye This, Casino, Ronin, and we can't forget Rocky n Bulwinkle! Oh, maybe we should....haha...

Crossing Over

Ensemble cast...big stars...interweaving storylines...stretches on many ideas...ok..but not great...similar to Traffic storytelling...

Push

I should have known better. I said when I saw the trailers that this was not going to be a good movie...it was going to be over the top, bad plot, worst acting, just didn't look good. Well....it wasn't....

Slow developing story, unsure on who really are the bad guys, nice effects, sloppy plot, ultimately, a big disappointment.

Best of Will Ferrell


In honor of Alex Trebek's birthday tomorrow, I choose to spotlight one the greatest running sketches of all time...Celebrity Jeopardy. There are so many great battles between Trebek and Sean Connery...there are even t-shirts made with the custom sayings...

The Hours

In honor of Nicole Kidman's 42nd birthday, EW choose to spotlight the movie that brought her the little golden statue known as Oscar. I have not seen this movie, so I won't do you the dis-service of a tweetdvd review. Check out EW's great job of reviewing this movie they gave an A.

The Haunting in Connecticut

Another "based on a true" story thriller....does anyone really believe this anymore? They are usually so loosely based on random events that one has to look at it with a bit of suspicion. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a big fan of these types of movies...I look the other way when scary things happen...but my girlfriend likes them, so I fight through them....

Tomatometer Score - 18%

Based on true events, uh huh, standard thrills, a few gory scare moments, in the end, nothing too impressive...
