The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)

The Girl with the Drago...

David Fincher’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was one of the best movies of 2011 in my 2012 opinion. Not the best movie mind you, but certainly in my top 5.  I haven’t read the book the late Stieg Larsson made up in his head and put on paper nor have I seen the 2009 Swedish...
Immortals

Immortals...

“All men’s souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are immortal and divine.” -Socrates  Immortals is a big, actiony guy movie full of blood and  testosterone. But it’s a guy movie with a heart. Nah….it’s just a guy movie. It is really...
The Descendants

The Descendants...

“What is it that makes the women in my life destroy themselves? ” The Descendants is a movie. This we know. It’s about Hawaiian land baron and father Matt King (George Clooney) who must step up and be a better dad after his wife has an accident that results in...
Tower Heist

Tower Heist...

According to what is says here, Tower Heist is a working man’s Ocean’s Eleven. I agree with that. What it lacks in wit and slickness it makes up for in….uh….funny? Well it was funny for the most part. Ben Stiller was the Danny Ocean of this movie. He’s...

I like monkeys. This has long been established. I also like movies. Hence this website. So when you take the two and put them together, what could be so bad about that? In the case of Rise of the Planet of the Apes nothing at all, my fine-feathered friends. Rupert Wyatt’s movie-film...
Captain America: The First Avenger – a review by Shayne Seymour

Captain America: The Fi...

  My wife and I saw Captain America: The First Avenger last night.  Most importantly, it passed my first test for a movie: the Was I Entertained?  Test.  That is the test that determines whether I spend the next few paragraphs telling you what I liked about the movie or what...
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2

Harry Potter and the De...

For my money, which is about a $1.32 at the moment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, part 2 was absolutely the 7th Harry Potter movie.  It was also the darkest and most battliest.  This is not your grandfather’s Harry Potter.  He’s all growed up and ready to...
Bridesmaids

Bridesmaids...

“It’s coming out like hot lava” I’m shattered. All my life I’ve been under the impression that women don’t burp, fart, or poop.  But oh do they ever. The women in Bridemaids may have started a new movement in comedy. I shit you not. Producer Judd...
The Hangover Part II

The Hangover Part II...

“Bangkok Has Them Now.” Let’s start this review off by getting to the point, shall I?  The first Hangover movie was original and hilarious. The Hangover Part II had basically the same plot as the first (no issues with that), but lacked a bit on the hilarious side....
Thor

Thor...

Having survived armageddon (round 1) I decided to celebrate my newfound lease on life with a trip to my local movie emporium to delight in the adventures of some unsuspecting hero or heroine. For this I chose Thor. As comic book movies go this was definitely one of them. The only...
