So last night I got to do something new – Zombieland (in theaters everywhere today) had a screening/premiere and Zombie Walk last night. So, at 5p I quit After Effects and unpacked a bag of make-up and costume pieces and started zombify-ing myself in my office. Jeff and Amanda took some pictures and video of [...]

Quantum of… Who needs gadgets?
After hours of putting up Christmas trees yesterday to reset our stage for the Advent Season I needed a little time relaxing… so quite a few of us from work headed to the theater to see Quantum of Solace. I had heard some people were a little disappointed by this one… and I know why, [...]
Thanksgiving and Spider-Man
Thanksgiving was a wonderful day. We stayed home and the five of us (Ann, Lilybeth, Mom, Devin/Kaylee, and I) just relaxed. We played some Guitar Hero on the new PS3, watched the parade and dog show (blech) and then proceeded to eat too much – but not so much that we were sick this time! [...]
The Happening sucks really bad.
Normally I’m more elegant when I try to describe a movie… but not this time. In fact, I won’t even waste the time to tell you how absolutely God-awful the movie was. Here’s a snippet of a review by Sean McBride that pretty much sums it up. The slight premise, coupled with some very bad [...]
It’s Arrested Development
So, for those of you not in the know… Arrested Development was one of the funniest things to hit TV in a long time. So Fox (predictably) canceled it after 2 and a half seasons. But that’s okay, Jason Bateman and the crew are back! Scheduled for release next year is Arrested Development… the movie. [...]
Let the Summer Blockbuster Season Begin!
And it does so in style! I am just arriving home from the midnight (well, we got into the 11:15 showing) premiere of Iron Man… one of the best reviewed movies of they year so far (it actually wrangled a 96% at rottentomatoes.com – which I thought was impossible for a superhero flick). It was [...]
The Joker Lives!
I just got back from watching I Am Legend in an IMAX theater. Now, the book, I Am Legend was a good book, but I’m guessing the real reason why every IMAX showing of the movie is sold out (including the 1:15 showing I saw with my dad), is because they were showing, as the [...]
You know what I really hate?
These action films where the good guy calls the one person he trusts and he betrays him. So I called NBC, CBS, ABC, the Washington Post and the New York Times…. Open It or Expand It » Okay, that’s a paraphrase of a line from Shoot ‘Em Up, Clive Owen’s latest film. Seriously though, here’s [...]
201! 38 to go!
So a few of you may remember the post about how many movies you have seen off of a certain list… Well, Swimfan was on TNT… so I’m down to only 38 movies to see!
200… Looks like I’ve got 39 movies to watch!
SUPPOSEDLY if you’ve seen over 85 of these movies, you have no life. Mark the ones you’ve seen. There are 239 movies on this list. Copy this list mail, go to your own facebook account, paste this as a note. Then, put x’s next to the movies you’ve seen( you have to have seen the [...]
Movie Reviews…
I saw two films in the theater over the holiday weekend (I had scheduled 4 since I had so much time to myself… but I chose to clean house instead… I think I might be sick) and thought I’d share my thoughts on each of them with you: Open It or Expand It » Déjà [...]
Chicago 1, Dallas 0
So I’ve been watching a lot of movies lately. In fact, I spent 2 months down here in the Dallas area without my wife (well except for the one weekend my new job flew her down to see me… THANK YOU WES AND CHRISTINA!), so I’ve had a good bit of time to myself. Add [...]
