Friday Geek Out: Tron
Summer 1982… 26 years ago… one of the huge summer blockbusters was supposed to be Disney’s Tron. Released in July, it was a pretty huge flop, grossing only $33 million domestically. Audiences just weren’t into spending a couple hours of their summer looking at the Dinsey-ized insides of a computer. To my 14-year-old self at [...]

Jumper
I am very mixed on Jumper. The action and effects sequences were solid, the kind of thing you’d expect from Doug Liman, who produced the three Bourne movies and directed Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The overall story though left too many open questions for its own good.
What we know is this: there are people (unclear [...]

Note: I’m going to try to not give too [...]
Close to Home…

The Golden Compass
Mix Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings together and suck all the emotion and life out of it and you just might get The Golden Compass. It’s sad really because I wanted to like this movie. The trailers gave hope for some new, great adventure. But it all felt like [...]

I Am Legend
We caught I Am Legend yesterday morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am always game for anything that shows New York getting destroyed (Armageddon and The Day After Tomorrow are both favorites in this category). I Am Legend goes one better than those movies. In this case the city is still standing, but everyone is [...]
