Well the reviews are starting to come in for the new Star Wars animated film and they are not all that great. Personally, I was none too impressed by the trailers. This animation is doing nothing for me. It looks like the video clips in the video games but not quite as good. Not sure [...]
The brand new IMAX in Reading opens tonight. I won’t be able to attend this evenings shows but hope to get there sometime this weekend. All this week the the movies only cost $1 and all the proceeds go to charity. My guess is this is a way to get the new employees broken in [...]

It is the 50th anniversary of the film THE BLOB. Filmed in Chester County way back in 1958 and starring Steve McQueen. Each year the Colonial Theater (this would be the theater in the famous scene where everyone is running out escaping the BLOB) has a BLOBfest to celebrate their fifteen minutes of fame and [...]

I just got the WALL-E soundtrack, well actually score, the other day. WALL-E sound track is pretty good. I have always been a fan of musical scores while I work. The lack of lyrics is less distracting for me. Listening to this music, which is some times, interrupted by robo-speak and sound effects has really [...]
Went to see The Strangers last night and quite honestly I was disappointed. The previews and critic quotes they splashed across the screen let me think I would be “messed up for life†and “unable to sleep for weeksâ€. Well I slept last night without any problems. The first half hour (felt like an hour) [...]

A little while ago I wrote about how awful Comcast is and that the DVR service sucks. Well, my little post got the attention of someone at Comcast and they emailed me asking for my account info so they could look into the matter. So I went ahead and sent them my name and phone [...]

Finally got to see the Ironman movie and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the action. Downey did a great job playing an alcoholic womanizer. Did he have practice? Seriously, he did an excellent job in the film. Before the movie we got a glimpse at a few of the summers [...]

Justice League A New Frontier is a very entertaining animated film based on the graphic novel by the same name from Darwyn Cooke. The League is up against The Centre an evil of biblical proportions. Learn the origins of Martian Man Hunter and Hal Jordan as the Green Lantern. Set around he same time as [...]
Frontier(s) is a horror film coming out of France (seems like all of the really good scary films these days are foreign). I am telling you just the trailer will scare the pants off of you. If you like Hostel (the first film not the sequel) or SAW (any of them) you are bound to [...]
At least Sweeny Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is my choice of films I must see this Christmas. And I don’t even like musicals! I love Johnny Depp. There really is not too much on his resume that I do not like. Heck it would almost be easier for me to tell you [...]
I just finished watching Ratatouille this morning and I have to say it was not too bad. It is not a kids cartoon as it has no real hook to keep a child’s attention. Heck, I know several adults who lost interest in the film half way through it. The story is cute and has [...]
