I admit…I resisted seeing Immortals for a number of weeks. The trailers made it look like a re-hash of 300, which I liked a lot. However, some decent reviews, including a B from Entertainment Weekly, and the ridiculously good looking Henry Cavill made me reconsider. It was worth it too. The movie was better than I [...]

The Eagle
I’m happy to report that our first movie of 2011 was a good one. The Eagle wasn’t exactly what I expected in terms of plot, but it exceeded expectations for how good I thought the movie was going to be. I admit the initial attraction to this film revolved around Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell [...]

300
We saw 300 this afternoon. It was our first movie to see in the theater in quite a while simply because nothing excited us enough to drop $22. This movie was definitely worth the cost of admission. Yes, it is a lot of blood and violence, but it’s got a solid story behind. Watching the [...]
