I don’t even know where to begin with Did You Hear About the Morgans? Well, for starters, I don’t find Hugh Grant the least bit entertaining. The same goes for Sarah Jessica Parker, yeah okay I watched “Sex in the City,” yeah okay I watched every episode because I was forced to, and it was a decent show.
Before I begin this review, let me preface it by saying I was a huge fan of the first The Boondock Saints. Now that I’ve said that, let me say that the sequel, Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day is nowhere near to the caliber of the first flick in any way shape or form.
Who in the world thought that making Where the Wild Things Are into a movie from a book should be banished from the creative field forever. The movie isn’t kid or adult friendly in the slightest, as I would think that kids would be bored and adults… well the same thing.
Although the studio behind Planet 51 isn’t anywhere near the big boys club of Pixar and DreamWorks both in terms of animation and story [...], when you just take it on its own merits, the movie isn’t half bad. There’s some fun jokes for the adults but will still keep younger kids entertained.
Overall, Old Dogs might not be the best comedy and is in fact pretty damn lazy writing in terms of plot, but I managed to laugh a few times times throughout. I’m in no way giving this a whole-hearted recommendation, but I thought it was far better than I had expected it to be.
As you may (or probably have not) noticed, Movieman’s Guide to the Movies now has 1080p screen captures and will be slowly adding more in the coming months. You can see what’s available within the main menu under “BD Screen Caps”. Enjoy!
This is just a quick head’s up, I have finally updated the Blu-ray and DVD release schedules.
A year after already releasing Grumpy Old Men on the Blu-ray format, they are re-releasing it again this time with the underrated sequel, Grumpier Old Men. Most of the time this would anger me, but given the low SRP ($24.98 at the time of this writing), if the price gets low enough (~$12), it will be worth picking up just for the sequel.
If there’s one thing you can count on in this crazy, mixed up world is Roland Emmerich directing a massively expensive disaster movie [...] and even though I will always have a soft spot for Independence Day and the groundbreaking visual and special effects, I was actually fairly impressed with his latest, 2012.
No good reason to post this except, well I figured why not. Here is a description from the YouTube page:
“This four-minute video was first made public at the “Pop Life: Art in a Material World” art exhibit in London’s Tate Modern museum.
In an August video shoot, Dunst sang and danced to The Vapors’ “Turning Japanese” song in a sailor-suit costume and a blue wig in Tokyo’s Akihabara otaku shopping district. Murakami and McG happened to have the same manager, and the manager brought the two together at the end of last year to discuss the collaboration.”
