Avatar (2009)
My family and I went and saw the Avatar movie this past weekend. I have to say, Avatar certainly lived up to its $400 million budget! I was impressed by the computer graphics, which were definitely innovative. The acting was good, and I liked the storyline.
Avatar is about a planet called Pandora. In the year 2054, Americans have established a base on Pandora and are mining a special resource. Marines are used on the base for protection purposes, because the native populations are unwelcoming. Scientists are also on the base, attempting to research the planet. Their research is done using avatars,...

Crimson Tide
Bottom-Line: Crimson Tide is now one of my favorite must see once-a-year movies.
Directed by action junkie Tony Scott (Top Gun, Man on Fire, Spy Game), Crimson Tide revives and old enemy (Russia) for some tomfoolery and high intrigue in the middle of the Pacific Ocean onboard the nuclear-powered ballistic submarine U.S.S. Alabama. The "Bama" has been sent to counter possible first strike moves by a rouge Russian rebel leader who has managed to seize a Russian nuclear base on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula in the Northwestern Pacific. The U.S.S. Alabama is led by a no nonsense,...

Budd Boetticher made at least 7 several solid Westerns with Randoph Scott during the 1950s. One of the first big screen CinemaScope pictures he directed was 1959's Ride Lonesome. It's a solid fairly simple Western dealing with classic Western themes. Well cast, acted and directed, Ride Lonesome's screenplay is solid and spare. The story slowly unfolds for us, but we are never bored.
Brigade (Randolph Scott) is taking dangerous outlaw Billy John (James Best) to Santa Cruz where he will most certainly be hanged for shooting a man in the back. We don't yet understand why he seems to want...

Finding Nemo was a wonderful movie. This movie really helps children to think big in life. It shows them that if they set their mind to do something that they can reach whatever it is they want to do. The story line was wonderful in my opinion. The characters were very likable. In a way the movie also shows how things work in nature, you know life the food chain I guess you would say. The graphics were also very good. I believe this movie had a wonderful list of people to do the voices. Ellen Degenerous did an outstanding job with the voice of Dory. She played that chararcter absolutely wonderful....

All the media hype for James Cameron's "Avatar" may have seemed excessive in the few weeks leading up to the debut. So I cruised through many web pages devouring critic's reviews and digesting magazine articles to find out just what I might expect before entering the theatre. Many a film has had the term "ground breaking" attached to it only to find it just couldn't live up to it's billing. I was determined to view this film in the best possible venue; IMAX 3D. The closest theatre is 45 minutes away so I went on-line and bought tickets, printed from my computer and when I arrived bypassed the lines...

I got a chance to see a sneak preview of the movie "It's Complicated" yesterday. I had to drive an hour from my house to go see it but it was well worth the drive. The movie was very funny.
The movie shows the consequences of having an affair with a married man (Jake) who is now 58 years old. The twist is the affair is with the ex-wife (Jane)also 58 years old. Jake originally cheated on his ex-wife with his current much younger wife Agnus then cheats on Agnus with his ex-wife Jane. Jake and Jane think it is OK to have the affair because it feels right and they were previously married....

Die Hard 2: Die Harder
One of the predictable consequences of the success of 1988's Die Hard was 20th Century Fox's decision to greenlight Renny Harlin's Die Hard 2: Die Harder, a spectacularly violent sequel to Bruce Willis' star-making hit about a brave, wise-cracking police detective who goes mano-a-mano with a band of sophisticated criminals in order to save his estranged wife (Bonnie Bedelia) and other civilians.
The studio's big shots, of course, rarely see movies as works of art but rather as investments for which they expect at least some profit, so when a stand-alone film such as Airport, Jaws, Smokey and the...

read full review »Sherlock Holmes
Guy Ritchie's big budget Sherlock Holmes pays tribute to the literary icon in many ways, while at the same time trying to present a fresh story in a fresh way. One has to remember that the character's creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was so fed up with the runaway success of his own stories that he gave carte blanche for other creators to use him in any way they saw fit, and thus any interpretation of Holmes is as valid as any other. This, along with the rich variety of Doyle's stories and the character's innate vitality, has made him one of the most popular characters to appear on screen. This...

It's Complicated
I went to a pre-screening of It's Complicated starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin last night and I have to say that this was one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time.
The basis of the story is that Jane (Streep) and Jake (Baldwin) are a divorced couple going on 10 years apart, with three grown kids. Jake is remarried to a woman half his age and Jane is still single. They end up at their son's college graduation sharing an innocent meal. A couple of bottles of wine and some dancing later they end up in bed together and start having an affair. Throw in Steve Martin...
