X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Not to long ago I thought I would pick up the game Wolverine origins. If you’re a gamer you know that movie to video games never work and they usually suck but this is not the case. I really loved this game. It’s not just a button masher there are actually some thought that has to go in to staying alive. The graphics are very good for as old as the game is. The game is fun and is filled with some...

One movie a day for all of December! (Day 31) No...
Day 30 This is my last day of my movie a day for the month of December. I thought I’d let my wife pick one so we decide to watch No Strings Attached
This movie is directed by Ivan Reitman who made another movie that I seen during this 30 day challenge TWINS. So what do I think of it? Its got some funny parts in it. There’s a lot of kissing and girls in underwear so we were constantly pausing it...

One movie a day for all of December! (Day 30) Kill...
Day 30 Its back to Horror for me but lets do something low budget and something I probably wouldn’t watch unless it was on Netflix instant so lets watch Kill Katie Malone
When I say I wouldn’t usually watch a movie like this I am referring to cover art and movie title. The movie at this moment on IMDB has 4.4 stars but does it deserve this rating?. My answer is no. I think it’s better then a 4.4...

Day 29 I’m at the theater today wondering what should I watch. You know I haven’t see a lot of Christmas movies during the holiday season so maybe I should see one of those ahh here’s one IMDb - A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas (2011)
Ok so its not the typical Christmas movie instead of being filled with presents , unbelief in Santa, Christmas sweaters, eggnog, and holiday cheer. This...

One movie a day for all of December! (Day 27)...
Day 27 Its time to go back to the horror genre but not American horror lets try German horror. So today’s movie is Rammbock
This movie is a 6.4 on imdb but I think it should be a little bit better because I really liked this movie. Its super low budget but did manage to have some real freaky elements to it.
I will be honest I did jump at one part and I even new it was coming. In my defense I...

Day -26 Tie to bring it back to the comedy with Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993) - IMDb
This movie is brilliant! Remember a time when Charlie Sheen was making awesome flicks. I’m not sure what happened there but hopefully he gets things together and makes a 3rd part to this franchise because they are funny. I laughed out load several times in this movie and the Saddam Hussein with the bikini tan...

One movie a day for all of December! (Day 25) Here...
Its Christmas day (Merry Christmas) and my daughter wants to watch something so who am I to deny her. She picks a little movie called Here Comes The Littles.
I’m all right with this because I use to watch The Little’s when I was young so I welcome the idea. As I watch it I’m amazed at how far animation has come with companies like DreamWorks and Pixar making almost life like cartoons. I...

Day - 24 It’s almost the New Year and one of my resolutions is to write my next script. Not the next movie I’m going to film just my next script so I thought I would prepare and watch a little documentary called Tales from the Script.
This movie is amazing its 2 hours of the same shot of different people talking and I’m not kidding when I say it’s awesome. There are stories in here that are...

Day 23 Ok so today I watched Father of the bride.
For some reason I have the idea in my head that this movie is seen as a very good and funny movie. I remember hearing about how good it was when it came out so this should be fun right? WRONG this was so hard to watch and getting to the end became a chore. Maybe it was because my house is filled with people for the holidays and it so hard to...

Ok so today I watched a movie that heavily influenced my movie that I’m currently editing now. It’s a little movie called Awakenings
This movie is on my top 25 movies of all time and one I revisit from time to time. Penny Marshall is an amazing director and here she is at the top of her game. You cant watch this movie and not cry and the fact that you know your watching a true story makes it...

Day - 20 I got a lot of family over here for the holidays and as they went out for dinner I stayed home with my baby boy and watched an older movie. 1954’s Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Some of my first movie memories are these old horror movies and kung fu movies. I watched this one a couple times as a kid and I still think it looks amazing. I’ve heard some people say this is the worse...

Day 19 - Everyone knows I love video games so why wouldn’t I watch a movie called Gamer.
Gammer was directed by the Crank boys Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor and man does it look great. If you’re a editor or a filmmaker you should watch this movie for all the cool stuff that’s in it. The shots the editing even the sound design is creative. If you’re just a movie watcher you might want to think...

Day 18 - Ok I like to think of myself as a person who studies films and some of you may or may not know that I have lived a crazy life and I have seen some sick and crazy things in my days. I feel like horror movies some what helps us understand our fears and if a movie is done well can help us take a look at some of the darker parts of the human soul. That being said I think Texas Chainsaw...

Day 17 - flipping threw Netflix and I see a movie that everyone in this world has see except for me March of the Penguins.
March of the Penguins stars… well… a bunch of penguins and they all give break out performances. I don’t think I have ever seen a movie about animals where I thought, “man it sure is good to be a human”. I think everyone should watch this movie so they will stop complaining...

I begin to look and look then I see a movie I seen when I was younger and I wonder would my daughter like this movie so I start up Mrs. Doubtfire
This movie is hilarious and for the most part a family...

Day 15 – I decided to revisit a movie that constantly kept coming to mind as I was watching Airplane the other day and that movie was The Naked Gun.
The naked gun is not as funny as Airplane but its still has some amazing bits in it. I don’t really know what to say about this movie except its goofy and funny and for most of the movie it’s a fun ride. I had forgot that O.J. Simpson was in this...

Day 14 - I should have stuck with my gut feeling and watched something eles but instead I watched House 2.
It wasn’t a total waste of my time but it just doesn’t even come close the awesomeness of the first one. There is one reason to watch this movie and its not to see a young Bill Maher its to see a young John Ratzenberger. You read it right just like house one had Norm from Cheers this one...

Day 13 I feel like I’m just revisiting a bunch of movies from my child hood but that’s ok I’m not really doing a review of these movies I’m just expressing myself and having fun watching movies. So today I watched a movie that I absolutely loved as a kid and after watching it I still love it the movie is House.
House did kind of freak me out when I was a kid but I think it was all due to the old...

Day 11 I watched a little movie by Steven Soderbergh called Contagion.
This movie has some big players in it Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard, John Hawkes, Elliott Gould, Jude Law, Bryan Cranston, and Laurence Fishburne. My thoughts as I watched it was, this is what would happen before every zombie movie except the people stay dead. I loved this movie and the score of...

Day 10 we are going to go up into the sky with the movie Airplane.
This movie is so awesome its hard to believe it was made so long ago. A lot o the jokes still hold up and I swear that Leslie Nielsen never aged a day in his life after this movie until his passing. I love this flick and as I watched it I wondered how come all these other spoof movies that come out now days cant get it right....

Day eight I decided to see the sequel of one of the greatest fighting movies of all time IP MAN. If you haven’t see the first IP MAN you need to because not only is it filled with some amazing fight scenes but the story is solid. It’s a movie that hits you in the gut and leaves you wanting more and so here it is IP MAN 2.
So how does the sequel hold up? It’s got some great fight scenes in it and...

Day 7 on my movie a day for all of December challenge is another terror movie. I wouldn’t call it a scary movie but it is a little gory. It’s a little movie called Creepshow 2.
Now I’m a big fan of the first Creepshow I own it on blu-ray and have probably watched it about 100 times in my life. Creepshow 2 I have seen a lot as well but when I was younger and remember liking it a lot but it had...

Day 6 is a movie I watched as a kid but wanted to see how it holds up today. It’s a movie called Revenge of the Nerds.
It’s amazing how much our times have changed because the people in this movie who are suppose to be cool really look like the odd ones. For a good part of my young life I grew up as a nerd and I still am a nerd today but there was a period in middle school and high school where...

Day 5 brings us to a movie that I have never seen and action movie fans always get on me about it so now they can stop. Today I watched Dirty Harry (1971)
and I’m kind of sad I went all these years having not seen it. For 2 reasons, reason number 1 the script has fun funny and of course iconic dialog. Reason number 2 the actors a young Clint Eastwood shooting holes into every bad guy in the city...

Let me just say that I love both good and bad movies the problem with this movie is its neither of those things. It finds itself some place in the middle. It looks good and has some creative parts (Body shop scene) but for...
