For the most part this will be a movie/television writing blog - however it can stray a bit and there will be posts about sports, video game and other various activities.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger912125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115433249109612300.post-82062554828922500882014-02-06T13:05:00.000-05:002014-02-06T13:05:57.866-05:00The EndWell, this is a sad day.<br />
<br />
I knew this would happen eventually. But, I didn't want it to be now.<br />

<br />
After working pretty hard to get this Theme Song Bracket together I guess I just finally realized that no one really looks in on this blog anymore. The lack of votes each day just proves that.<br />
<br />
This is the third or fourth time I have done a bracket game and each time it has gone down in terms of votes. But, this is the absolute lowest it has ever been.<br />
<br />
So, I guess it's time to wrap this blog up. I started it almost six years ago now when I left my job at the newspaper so that I could keep writing. And, it has been pretty fun. I loved doing it and I loved trying to find new things to write about.<br />
<br />
Soon it became apparent that most of my blogs were about movies or television, so I morphed it into a movie site. And, I have been posting my thoughts on movies I have watched ever since.<br />
<br />
It's actually been fun looking back to see what I thought about a movie, especially after watching it again. It's odd how your perception can change both good and bad after multiple viewings.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I guess no need to drag this out. I have found myself not being able to find the time to write my reviews since my daughter has been born. But, I thought I could get back into it with this new bracket game. Unfortunately, I think my wife might be the only person that actually reads my posts. So, despite my love for it I guess it is now time to step away.<br />
<br />
Thank you to those that have stumbled upon the site and enjoyed it. Especially to my wife who read almost all of my posts - and pointed out my mistakes - but it was always nice to know at least someone was looking at them.<br />
<br />
Goodbye. Enjoy the movies.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115433249109612300.post-85901069691627823592014-02-05T12:01:00.000-05:002014-02-05T12:01:00.242-05:00TSB: (2) Up vs. (15) Kick-AssVoting up just a tick yesterday with 10 total votes. Please remember there are two sets you are voting on each day - this one and the one right below it (today that would be <i>Back to the Future </i>vs. <i>Chariots of Fire</i>).<br />
<br />
Let's keep spreading the word. I would like to get the votes well past double digits for each post. Thanks for the help.<br />
<br />
No. 2 seeds are now up.<br />

Just nine total votes. But, we will try again.<br />
<br />
<i>Star Wars</i> and <i>Indiana Jones </i>both move on to the next round, if in fact there will be a next round. Today we have the final two No. 1 seeds in <i>Jaws </i>and <i>Harry Potter</i>. Please vote for both and please spread the word. I definitely want double digits for each set at the very least.<br />
<br />
Let's have some fun.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello. And welcome to the first day of the first round of the (Instrumental) Theme Song Bracket.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I searched long and hard about trying to add music to these blog posts without having to put in a youtube clip. And, the only way I could figure out how to do it so that it worked was to add a playlist at the top of the page. So, all four theme songs from today are listed above (click on the right side with the four lines to open the playlist) if you so wish to listen to them before voting.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I will update that each day with the theme songs being voted on. So, please enjoy this process and make sure to spread the word - looking for many, many votes this time around.<br />
<br />
Don't forget there are two entries each day - vote here and vote in the next one below.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thank you.</div>

And, March Madness is still over a month away. So, what will keep us entertained?<br />
<br />
How about a Movie Theme Song Bracket?<br />
<br />
After watching the new <i>Star Trek </i>film this past summer I got to thinking how much of a risk they took in changing the iconic theme song to something new.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now, <i>Star Trek </i>did it a bit different - and probably smart. They incorporated the old theme into the new series, even though it really isn't considered the theme. In the end, I really loved the new theme - it worked out for them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhABOLsG1yHN_QGWB4niawXDAncQlccDAUX4vW8Y7PWmnSnO4aUmq7SQ_2Vhs5CHgflM3OOCwFm8dnMpmtcFIl200cpAPSLAVcpUBIP3G01nbycmduN94eym4LBVI_o6D9I06Ws0QK5JUdy/s1600/trek.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhABOLsG1yHN_QGWB4niawXDAncQlccDAUX4vW8Y7PWmnSnO4aUmq7SQ_2Vhs5CHgflM3OOCwFm8dnMpmtcFIl200cpAPSLAVcpUBIP3G01nbycmduN94eym4LBVI_o6D9I06Ws0QK5JUdy/s1600/trek.jpg" height="136" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, changing an iconic theme sometimes doesn't work out as well. For instance, also this summer <i>Man of Steel </i>was released - and there is not one piece of music as uplifting or iconic as the original <i>Superman </i>theme. I think they really missed out on not putting it in there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It got me thinking, have there really been that many decent theme songs of late? I immediately thought of <i>Pirates of the Caribbean </i>and even <i>Kick-Ass</i>. But as I dug even deeper, there are actually a decent amount of theme songs that are somewhat current. But, do they stack up to the iconic films?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQBDK4UvaoqwmJPWnO3axXoXptBNXclTxCcAAXPEh2lXWNhP8lBLvJ_ZmOPPj-0mLvEXLZhDSX2tZI4gpeqOPvRmM9189c-bXjA88z6iZwe6OQ9Ych-IZUUh6ltQ-OxInpHwTS37wXGyX4/s1600/pirates.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQBDK4UvaoqwmJPWnO3axXoXptBNXclTxCcAAXPEh2lXWNhP8lBLvJ_ZmOPPj-0mLvEXLZhDSX2tZI4gpeqOPvRmM9189c-bXjA88z6iZwe6OQ9Ych-IZUUh6ltQ-OxInpHwTS37wXGyX4/s1600/pirates.jpg" height="133" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, let's find out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I, with a little help, have compiled 64 instrumental movie theme songs and created a Theme Song Bracket. So, over the course of about a month we will whittle them down to the most iconic theme song.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Again, please don't freak out about the original rankings. I had five different people rank the theme songs and I put them all together and this is how they averaged out. In the end, as always, the cream will always rise to the top.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, check back each day and I will have two chances to vote. Tell your friends, your family, your plumber. Let's get as many votes as possible. Check back tomorrow for our first two sets of theme songs to vote on.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Below we have our bracket of 64 (in four different versions - thanks to my pal Matt. Print out your favorite to follow along) - which theme song is your favorite? Stop back each day to vote.<br />

<b>Title: </b><i>Olympus Has Fallen.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Starring: </b>Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Dylan McDermott, Rick Yune, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, Melissa Leo, Cole Hauser, Finley Jacobsen, Ashley Judd.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Brief Synopsis: </b>Mike Banning (Butler) is a member of the secret service, and close friend to President Benjamin Asher (Eckhart). He also gets along very well with the president's son, Connor (Jacobsen). On an icy night to give a speech, the president's limo is hit by a falling branch and teeters off a bridge - unable to get the first lady (Judd) out of the car, Banning makes the difficult decision of pulling the president out and the first lady fell to her death. Having to blame someone - Asher fires Banning. But, when the White House is under attack by North Korea - it's Banning that becomes the lone hope to stop the attack. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Opinion: </b>Pretty decent action-packed film. Butler I think is more of an action star than a romantic comedy actor - so he is in his element here. A lot of this was pretty predictable, but even though most of it was seen coming, the trip was still pretty enjoyable.<br />

<b>Title: </b><i>R.I.P.D.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Starring: </b>Jeff Bridges, Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Bacon, Mary-Louise Parker, Stephanie Szostak, James Hong, Marisa Miller.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Brief Synopsis: </b>Nick (Reynolds) is a police officer in Boston. After taking stolen items from a drug bust with his partner Hayes (Bacon), Nick has a change of heart and wants to turn it in - but says he won't turn Hayes in. During a raid at a warehouse, Hayes tracks down Nick and shoots him dead to cover up the theft. Heading to heaven, Nick takes a diversion into limbo - and is told to work in the Rest in Peace Department, a department that captures 'deados', or spirits that have managed to stay on earth despite being dead. His partner is Roy Pulsipher (Bridges), a marshal from the 1800s. On Earth, 'deado's are rounding up pieces of a machine that when put together would put an end to the dead going to the after life. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Opinion: </b>Sort of a poor man's <i>Men in Black</i>, but I didn't hate the film as much as everyone else seemed to have. Both Reynolds and Bridges were fun to watch together, and Bacon always plays a great villain. Sure, it could have been way better - and the CGI could have looked much better, but for what it was it kept me entertained.</div>

<b>Title: </b><i>The Other Dream Team.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Starring: </b>Arvydas Sabonis, Sarunas Marciulonis, Rimas Kurtinaitis, Arturas Karnisovas, Donnie Nelson, Jonas Valanciunas.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Brief Synopsis: </b>This is a documentary about the bronze-medal winning Lithuanian basketball team at the 1992 Olympic games in Barcelona, Spain. Lithuania for years, had been forced to compete with the Soviet Union and this team was the culmination in the struggle to become a free nation again. As a side story, we also follow the path of 2011 NBA draft pick Valanciunas on his journey to being selected into the NBA - showing how far the country had come over the years. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Opinion: </b>As most know, I am not a fan of subtitles, but I love sports - especially basketball. I remember this team so fondly, 1992 was really when I started falling in love with basketball, thanks to our Dream Team. And, I remember seeing the little known Lithuanian team in their Grateful Dead outfits. Now, I know the whole story - and I am glad I do.</div>

<b>Brief Synopsis: </b>Dusty Crophopper (Cook) is a cropduster who dreams of being a racer in the Wings Across the World race.

He asks former Jolly Wrench, Skipper (Keach) to help him - and it is soon revealed that Dusty has a fear of heights.

Sometimes they aren't what they seem, but you usually find out some pretty cool information.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrkPEB82V-AAPBJcbqi25YD5ZmcKR2d1t2hLQjIBzpllstjpnkXidVkNWDT2vwNsnDVEO8Cq4zNXaXjEk02tvYZ5koUbFPTSR_Jm_yTiK2CPmTYxlNkNIXpg4jrD-fWpR18xTvkSrvLX8_/s1600/savingmrbanks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrkPEB82V-AAPBJcbqi25YD5ZmcKR2d1t2hLQjIBzpllstjpnkXidVkNWDT2vwNsnDVEO8Cq4zNXaXjEk02tvYZ5koUbFPTSR_Jm_yTiK2CPmTYxlNkNIXpg4jrD-fWpR18xTvkSrvLX8_/s1600/savingmrbanks.jpg" height="320" width="215" /></a></div>
<i>Saving Mr. Banks </i>is the behind-the-scenes process of bringing <i>Mary Poppins </i>to the big screen at Walt Disney Studios.<br />
<br />
P.L. Travers (Emma Thompson) created the character Mary Poppins for children's books that she had written. And, as we see in flashbacks of Travers' childhood, Poppins is more than just a character in a book to her.<br />
<br />
Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) promised his daughters more than 20 years ago that he would bring their favorite book to the big screen - and he began trying to court Mrs. Travers in doing so.<br />
<br />
Travers, though, only saw Disney as that animated place - and never saw Mary Poppins as an animated feature, nor did she see it as a musical.<br />
<br />
After 20 years, the book money has not been coming in as frequently and Travers had begun to run out of money. So, she decided to take a trip out to Los Angeles to meet with Disney and his crew about the possibility of bringing Mary Poppins to the big screen.<br />
<br />
Of course, Travers is anything but helpful along the way. In fact, she pretty much hates everything. She forced each meeting to be recorded. I really had never heard of the practice before of pretty much fleshing out the entire movie before even acquiring the rights - perhaps it happens and we just don't hear about it.<br />
<br />
Richard (Jason Schwartzman) and Robert (B.J. Novak) Sherman present many songs they have written for her movie - and of course they clash with her. Don DaGradi (Bradley Whitford) was the screenwriter for the film and all three bent over backwards to make things work.<br />
<br />
The only person Travers opened up to during her entire trip was her driver Ralph (Paul Giamatti), who she said was the only American she could stand.<br />
<br />
Though she was a pill, Disney actually understood her - in fact, she probably was the best person go through this process with her. He too once had an imaginary family member that someone wanted to purchase - and he never gave him up.<br />
<br />
Obviously, in the end the movie ended up being made under the Disney banner - and Disney ended up getting his way with a lot of the things Travers disagreed with, including having Dick Van Dyke play Bert.<br />
<br />
The acting, especially Hanks and Thompson, was outstanding. Thompson was so spiteful as Travers - she really got into the character very well. Hanks was great as Disney as well, it was the first time ever that Disney had been portrayed in a film.<br />
<br />
Novak and Schwartzman both stood out as the Sherman brothers, and Whitford and Giamatti are both their outstanding selves.<br />
<br />
In flashbacks, Colin Farrell played Travers' dad and Annie Rose Buckley, in her first film role, plays a young Travers - and I thought she was amazing in the role.<br />
<br />
Overall, a great telling of the story - and a great use of flashbacks to allow the viewer to see why it is so difficult for Travers to allow Disney to make this into a movie.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2: </i>I know the first film was based on a children's story - that was probably 30 pages long. But, they managed to get a pretty decent film out of it. And, apparently they also got a sequel. I watched the original once and I remember enjoying it - but if I haven't watched it again, it must not have left a lasting impression. But, I will definitely watch this - at least once.<br />
<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Bad Grandpa: </i>I know there is an audience for these type of films, I mean obviously since it was made and people went to see it. I never got into the <i>Jackass</i> craze, I just don't find it that funny. I don't look up people doing stupid things on youtube either. So, this isn't for me.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Last Vegas: </i>Should be excellent and pretty darn funny, but I have heard it was a bit of a disappointment. Either way, I never listen to what others say, I always wait to give it my own thoughts. And, I will be looking into this.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Rush: </i>The mixture of Ron Howard and Chris Hemsworth is probably the only reason I will check this out. I am not a race fan at all, and even less of an Indy car fan. But, sounds like it might actually have a good story - so I will watch it.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Metallica: Through the Never: </i>I am not sure about this one. I am not the biggest Metallica fan, but I do enjoy some of their songs from time to time. But, is it worth watching an entire movie for that? I don't know. I am still thinking about this.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">The Fifth Estate: </i>This film I believe flopped at the box office, which is strange with Benedict Cumberbatch starring - his stock has exploded in the last few years. I actually think I might look in on this.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Ass Backwards: </i>I would probably never think twice about watching this, but Casey Wilson from <i>Happy Endings </i>stars and I really started to enjoy her on that show. It goes against my original feeling, but I might check this out.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115433249109612300.post-41565425824458051282014-01-21T06:30:00.000-05:002014-01-21T06:30:02.853-05:00Tuesday's With Movies: 1/21/14<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Captain Phillips: </i>Tom Hanks is my favorite actor so of course I am going to be watching this. I think I am more interested in <i>Saving Mr. Banks</i>, but I have heard his performance in this is really great.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Blue Jasmine: </i>I really haven't found a Woody Allen film I particularly love. He certainly can march out the stars, though. I might give it a try at some point.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i><b>Machete Kills: </b>Machete </i>was certainly a surprise - a film that didn't take itself too seriously, which really made it fun. Hopefully this one is close to the original.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i style="font-weight: bold;">In a World...: </i>A film about a lady that does voice over work - women don't really get too much play in this field. The film explores that and family dysfunction. Have heard great things, and I will definitely check it out.<br />
<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Charlie Countryman: </i>I actually think that Shia LaBeouf can be a really talented actor. It's a shame that he has totally gone off the deep end of late. I might actually check out this film.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Best Man Down: </i>Can't tell if this is more drama or comedy - it stars two guys usually in a comedy in Justin Long and Tyler Labine. However, the movie is about the death of the best man, so it has the chance of being a bit sad. Guess I will have to check it out.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-115433249109612300.post-91010118839289032152014-01-16T22:57:00.000-05:002014-01-16T22:57:01.969-05:00Tuesday's With Movies: 1/14/14Yeah, I am late again. But, now you probably expect it. Anyway, today (er, Tuesday) a bunch of films from film festivals seem to be released. A pretty large crop of films coming out at on time. Here you go:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9DdLeicLprLV4F6Fw1cSvMsPSABHDTTkiojtUwl1lAjzcUsJtstCWlzw-M7H2XQ3P-JHjQHkeAqUvH3hqX7PY9N59ECevVO9YyDqDCks0fEu0b5zKYMqnsN4PlGdol9i2yc4SWj5ELJSC/s1600/butler.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9DdLeicLprLV4F6Fw1cSvMsPSABHDTTkiojtUwl1lAjzcUsJtstCWlzw-M7H2XQ3P-JHjQHkeAqUvH3hqX7PY9N59ECevVO9YyDqDCks0fEu0b5zKYMqnsN4PlGdol9i2yc4SWj5ELJSC/s1600/butler.jpg" height="200" width="134" /></a><i style="font-weight: bold;">The Butler: </i>My wife said she wants to check this out. On my own I don't think I would look into this, but perhaps we can watch it together.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQF2aIAchDRhC3_gR7PJT6-3eAMn6CDTPJdbONe3jPuU-PeDWNIcZMngsKhXVst8lvwEtspFHkiB9y8tQ3R-mhANw3RmwNWI05QD3NU_GkrUx3UUtPOv0EIbMgC6EdzArOVpzWjHmBovFb/s1600/riddick.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQF2aIAchDRhC3_gR7PJT6-3eAMn6CDTPJdbONe3jPuU-PeDWNIcZMngsKhXVst8lvwEtspFHkiB9y8tQ3R-mhANw3RmwNWI05QD3NU_GkrUx3UUtPOv0EIbMgC6EdzArOVpzWjHmBovFb/s1600/riddick.jpg" height="200" width="134" /></a></div>
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Riddick: </i>Have yet to watch either <i>Riddick </i>films, but I have both of the first two. With this one coming out I think I will do a marathon watch of all three.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Carrie: </i>Too bad, I like Chloe Moretz. I think <i>Carrie </i>is probably one of those 'horror' films I might be able to take - though I just don't have that much interest in watching either version.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i style="font-weight: bold;">You're Next: </i>A bunch of killers attack a group during a family reunion - but apparently a member of the family is the most skilled killed of the bunch. Can't wait - to not watch this.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBBmMBe7xV80SfYWeZ0s6ygOHAcGuZKdW96MJ-gNRRqKuSDKgEP38LNdlKnGuMuHoahxFCHAp_pTwuOBMpCxyXb9s5I7sKAVL6GFWJWuxtK0qppFI2cDsotYQq9ccAbI2zi92XEWXZ9PyT/s1600/enoughsaid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBBmMBe7xV80SfYWeZ0s6ygOHAcGuZKdW96MJ-gNRRqKuSDKgEP38LNdlKnGuMuHoahxFCHAp_pTwuOBMpCxyXb9s5I7sKAVL6GFWJWuxtK0qppFI2cDsotYQq9ccAbI2zi92XEWXZ9PyT/s1600/enoughsaid.jpg" height="200" width="134" /></a></div>
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Enough Said: </i>Heard some pretty decent things about this one, and it is one of the (if not the) last film of James Gandolfini. Pretty sure I will check it out eventually.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjON7wKqk_D3JDhQQGoALcXsQesBPCVUr7p_JW_X2rTBZmI9VCj94ghaXaKZJ4r9hwDPzSIaax_O4ax-x8EUtCFUcHxrcLMWjEAt5ZMVK6T1Uy5hOn9Xgt-6RRdcWbHpXjKUIcSivfw_MNL/s1600/fruitvalestation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjON7wKqk_D3JDhQQGoALcXsQesBPCVUr7p_JW_X2rTBZmI9VCj94ghaXaKZJ4r9hwDPzSIaax_O4ax-x8EUtCFUcHxrcLMWjEAt5ZMVK6T1Uy5hOn9Xgt-6RRdcWbHpXjKUIcSivfw_MNL/s1600/fruitvalestation.jpg" height="200" width="134" /></a></div>
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Fruitvale Station: </i>So apparently this Michael B. Jordan guy is going to be the next big thing. I have enjoyed him so far in <i>The Wire </i>and <i>Friday Night Lights</i>. This looks like a pretty good movie - but one of those you may only watch once. But, we shall see.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Spectacular Now: </i>I have been hearing about Shailene Woodley for awhile now, but I have yet to see anything she is in. This might be the first of many this year. I also really enjoyed Miles Teller in his role in the <i>Footloose </i>remake. Looking forward to seeing this.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Short Term 12: </i>A film about a young counselor at a foster-care program for at-risk kids and her life outside of her job. Not really pulling me in.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2k0hHiz-sNQdUwKbunHmhOmyh-3ujtcTlm7Epju8TdOYO6YHCyUHLLL7av3uFaUCn03iZE4N5qgFbXI3ucvowCG8rxuP5kJtCRcJFZaX7fyVra5mS1e0sdgNgTeoWnPzr6LsCjIsco0Dj/s1600/bluecaprice.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2k0hHiz-sNQdUwKbunHmhOmyh-3ujtcTlm7Epju8TdOYO6YHCyUHLLL7av3uFaUCn03iZE4N5qgFbXI3ucvowCG8rxuP5kJtCRcJFZaX7fyVra5mS1e0sdgNgTeoWnPzr6LsCjIsco0Dj/s1600/bluecaprice.jpg" height="200" width="135" /></a></div>
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Blue Caprice: </i>This film is inspired by the beltway sniper attacks that took place in 2002. Probably will look into this one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr3G-e8ILV6Q94DT6LEIoXEL6fOJ3zAEpgmVx9cPE7KG6h-Eal9MFFLapkmamGVkbxfsVvhYUwj_RRB0kP_l79gHar6ncNa6pTGISGRj2TOGLQ6x91T7VfvfEpJ8IioTChuio1sJO4TEQ0/s1600/acod.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr3G-e8ILV6Q94DT6LEIoXEL6fOJ3zAEpgmVx9cPE7KG6h-Eal9MFFLapkmamGVkbxfsVvhYUwj_RRB0kP_l79gHar6ncNa6pTGISGRj2TOGLQ6x91T7VfvfEpJ8IioTChuio1sJO4TEQ0/s1600/acod.jpg" height="200" width="134" /></a></div>
<i style="font-weight: bold;">A.C.O.D.: </i>Stands for Adult Child of Divorce and stars Adam Scott. Finds out he was unknowingly part of a study on divorced children. Also has Clark Duke in it - could be pretty funny.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnHK9yO7btDACQKas6NeZ-3Jogkom8-9sEQ5w_gSF0vyX8q9WFN3KNKDu369o8uSZN805F9jxai1AuzNc8O4V2zMluhkGVUsBIdiMuDUhO3diOO2hP1w-r8hrKDvXkD0vTo2oQ6sHi323T/s1600/bigsur.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnHK9yO7btDACQKas6NeZ-3Jogkom8-9sEQ5w_gSF0vyX8q9WFN3KNKDu369o8uSZN805F9jxai1AuzNc8O4V2zMluhkGVUsBIdiMuDUhO3diOO2hP1w-r8hrKDvXkD0vTo2oQ6sHi323T/s1600/bigsur.jpg" height="200" width="133" /></a></div>
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Big Sur: </i>The plot from IMDb "A recounting of Jack Kerouac's (here known by the name of his fictional alter-ego Jack Duluoz) three sojourns to the cabin in Big Sur, owned by poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti." -- If I have to do that, no way I will be checking it out.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">A Single Shot: </i>After a girl dies a hunter finds himself trying to stay alive as others look to hunt him down. Never heard anything about it until last week when I saw it was coming out, but I think I might look in on this.<br />

In <i>Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, </i>Hanks plays Thomas Schell a father of a young boy and a man that works in one of the World Trade Center buildings.<br />
<br />
Schell and his son Oskar (Thomas Horn) enjoy having missions given to them - such as finding an object from every decade in the past century. Though he loves his mother Linda (Sandra Bullock), Oskar seems to get along much better with his father.<br />
<br />
On Sept. 11, 2001, Oskar is let out of school early, though he is not exactly sure why. When he gets home he discovers a few messages on the answering machine - and five of them are from his father who is inside the World Trade Center. As he finishes the fifth message, the phone rings. It's his father who begins to leave a sixth message - which then goes silent. Oskar immediately realizes that his father has died.<br />
<br />
After his father's death, Oskar and his mother grow even further apart. He gets comfort from his grandmother (Zoe Caldwell), who lives across the street in another building. He flashes her light from a flashlight whenever he needs to speak to her. In her apartment she is also housing a man that she calls 'the renter' (Max von Sydow) - which intrigues Oskar,<br />
<br />
Oskar finds a vase inside his father's closet, that falls and breaks. Inside the vase is a small envelope with the name Black on it, and inside is a key. Oskar takes it upon himself to find the owner of the key - sort of a last riddle that his father gave him to work on.<br />
<br />
When he visits his grandmother she is not there - and he encounters her renter. The renter does not speak - he only writes his answers, and has the words Yes and No on his hands. When asked if he wants to go on the journey with Oskar, he raises the hand Yes.<br />
<br />
Together they head out to find the person that belongs to the key, and there are 472 Blacks in the New York phone book.<br />
<br />
The film is both sad and a journey to find happiness again. As Oskar goes out on his journey he is forced to speak with other people, and he grows a strong bond with both his grandmother and the renter, who actually has a special place in Oskar's life. And, Oskar's realization that his mother does in fact love him.<br />
<br />
Hanks, as I said, is barely in the movie. He is in the beginning, and serves as a bit of a narrator - he is also seen in a few flashbacks.<br />
<br />
The stars of the film are easily Horn and von Sydow. Despite not being able to communicate very easily, their chemistry is really good. I really enjoyed von Sydow - Horn is young, and eventually I think he could be a pretty good actor. Here he was decent enough to carry the film - but I feel other child actors might have been able to do better.<br />
<br />
It was a good watch, and despite 9/11 now being over 12 years ago, I feel it is still too fresh. I have been able to watch a few of the films about it, and I am glad that I did, but I have only been able to watch them once.<br />

Well, it just might be sister company Pixar.<br />
<br />
Disney - and I mean original Disney - just might finally be back.<br />
<br />
Starting with 2010's <i>Tangled </i>(though <i>Princess & the Frog </i>was actually pretty good) Disney has made an upward climb back into the limelight - and might even caught up to (or surpassed) animation giant Pixar.<br />
<br />
Though <i>Tangled </i>had no chance of taking out <i>Toy Story 3 </i>in the Academy Awards, I felt last year that <i>Wreck-It Ralph </i>was far superior to Pixar's <i>Brave </i>that took home the trophy.<br />

Well, I honestly can't see that happening again. As great as <i>Monsters University </i>was - there is no way they can pass up Disney's <i>Frozen</i>.<br />
<br />
<i>Frozen </i>follows a pair of princess sisters, Elsa (Idina Menzel) and Anna (Kristen Bell), who are inseparable in their younger years. Elsa, though, has a bit of a mutation? She has the power to create snow and ice.<br />
<br />
Once while playing with her power, she accidentally hit her sister and her parents realize that it is becoming too powerful. So, they get Anna's memory of her sister's power erased and hide Elsa in the castle - keeping out all visitors.<br />
<br />
As time passes, Anna becomes more and more crazy because of her cabin fever and her inability to play with her best friend and sister, who stays hidden in her room as much as possible - and wears gloves to keep her powers at bay.<br />
<br />
But, when she reaches a certain age - she must take over the thrown as the queen. And, the castle is opened and people come in to see her coronation, including Prince Hans (Santino Fontana). Due to what can only be her cabin fever issue - Anna falls madly in love with Hans in just a few hours and they agree to marry.<br />
<br />
This news, however, sets Elsa off and her ability is revealed to the entire castle. So, she flees and leaves the entire kingdom in a state of winter.<br />
<br />
Anna now must rescue her sister and get her to reverse the spell that is cast over the kingdom. Along her journey she meets an ice salesman named Kristoff (Jonathan Goff), his reindeer Sven and a snowman made by her sister named Olaf (Josh Gad).<br />
<br />
I really cannot wait to go see this movie again. I absolutely loved <i>Wreck-It Ralph </i>last year and I might even enjoy <i>Frozen </i>even more. It was breathtaking.<br />
<br />
It looked amazing, had a great voice cast, great humor and the story was amazing. It pretty much had everything a Disney movie used to have. Including unbelievable music.<br />
<br />
Do yourself a favor and go see this - probably a few times. It is that good. I loved it.<br />
<br />
And this song pretty much has the Oscar wrapped up as well. This version gave me goosebumps in the theater. Very powerful.<br />
<br />

My grade for now is this, but I feel it might be bumped up with another viewing. I just can't bring myself to give a top grade after one viewing.<br />

My review is <a href="http://steel11kane.blogspot.com/2013/08/theater-review-despicable-me-2.html">here</a>.

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Wolverine: </i>I have heard so many mixed reviews on this, but I don't understand them. I thought this was a great movie - granted I didn't hate the Origins film, but this was still heads and shoulders above that one. Perhaps the reason was because of the great teaser at the end - which just got so many people excited for the next film. Either way, here is my <a href="http://steel11kane.blogspot.com/2013/08/theater-review-wolverine.html">review</a> - I will definitely be watching this one again.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Smurfs 2: </i>I was surprised by the first film, but I still have yet to watch it for a second time. That is usually the barometer for me if I really like a movie.

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Mortal Instruments: City of Bones: </i>I have to be honest, I have no idea what this is. Apparently some people in my family have been reading this book series and it is supposed to be the new <i>Twilight </i>or <i>Harry Potter</i>. I can't, however, believe they will be as big as those two franchises because the first film is about to be on DVD and I have heard pretty much nothing about it.<br />

<b>Title: </b><i>Lincoln.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Brief Synopsis: </b>Abraham Lincoln (Day-Lewis), during the Civil War, tries to push the Emancipation Proclamation through to free the slaves before the end of the war. He feared that it would be tossed out if the war had ended before its approval. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Opinion: </b>These biopics are always done pretty well, but with Day-Lewis in as Lincoln - he transforms into our 16th president. But, as good as he was in the role, the secondary characters were just as good. To me, Tommy Lee Jones and James Spader particularly stood out in a film with tons of well-known, great actors.</div>

<b>Title: </b><i>Identity Thief.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Starring: </b>Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, Jon Favreau, Amanda Peet, T.I., Gensis Rodriguez, John Cho, Morris Chestnut, Eric Stonestreet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Brief Synopsis: </b>Sandy Patterson (Bateman) becomes a victim of when someone steals his identity. A woman (McCarthy) takes his identity and soon Patterson is wanted in Florida for missing a court date and also apparently is wanted for buying drugs. Detective Reilly (Chestnut) obviously believes Patterson and gives him the opportunity to track down the thief to clear his name. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Opinion: </b>This wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I guess I don't really understand the fascination with McCarthy. She is ok, but I didn't fall in love with her in <i>Bridesmaids. </i>In fact, I recently came to the fruition that she is my least favorite part of her show, <i>Mike & Molly</i>. But, I like Bateman and McCarthy does have some comedy in her bones - and I actually did have some good laughs in this film. Much more than I thought I was going to.</div>

<b>Brief Synopsis: </b>Daniel Lugo (Wahlberg) is a personal trainer and is hired by Sun Gym's John Mese (Corddry) to drum up more business - which he is able to do.

<b>Opinion: </b>This has to be one of the craziest films I have seen in a really long time. And, it somehow worked - a little. I still can't believe how crazy and dumb these characters are. But, even though the characters didn't mean it, their stupidity made the film pretty darn funny - so outrageous it happened to make me laugh.</div>

<b>Title: </b><i>42.</i></div>
<div>

<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Starring: </b>Chadwick Boseman, Harrison Ford, Nicole Beharie, Christopher Meloni, Lucas Black, Alan Tudk, T.R. Knight, John C. McGinley.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Brief Synopsis: </b>Yet another biopic, this one on the first African-American Major League Baseball player Jackie Robinson (Boseman). Brooklyn Dodgers executive Branch Rickey (Ford) tries to break the color barrier in professional baseball by bringing Robinson on the team. The film follows everything that Robinson went through during that time - all of the racial bigotry he faced from fans, opponents and even his teammates. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Opinion: </b>I have heard some people didn't really enjoy this - but I really liked it. Most people, even non-sports fans, know the story of Robinson. But, even I didn't know everything that he had to go through. And, seeing this made me respect him even more.</div>

<b>Brief Synopsis: </b>Jay (Baruchel) arrives in LA to visit his friend Seth (Rogen). Baruchel is not really comfortable with a lot of Rogen's new friends, but begrudgingly accepts an invite to go to a housewarming party for James (Franco).

<b>Opinion: </b>This was one of the 10 films I wanted to check out in the theater this summer, but it was one of only two (I believe) that I wasn't able to get out to see. That being said, I think the hype on this one ended up ruining the first watch for me - which means I definitely need to look in on it again. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed it and thought it was very funny - but I thought it was going to be even funnier due to the response it was getting from everyone.</div>

<b>Title: </b><i>Perks of Being a Wallflower.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Starring: </b>Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, Ezra Miller, Mae Whitman, Paul Rudd, Dylan McDermott, Kate Walsh, Melanie Lynskey, Nina Dobrev.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Brief Synopsis: </b>Charlie (Lerman) has some issues and he is starting his freshman year of high school. On his first day of school the only friend he makes is his English teacher, Mr. Anderson (Rudd), due to his love of books. Soon, though, he befriends two seniors at a football game, Sam (Watson) and Patrick (Miller). The rest of the film is really the three of them fitting in at high school, with their friends and those that are not their friends. We also get a lot more of Charlie's back story - one thing we know is he lost his best friend to suicide the year before - and we see flashbacks of the death of his Aunt Helen (Lynskey) when he was just seven years old, which has effected the way Charlie has grown up. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Opinion: </b>Honestly, I think Watson is going to be one of the greatest actresses of our generation when all is said and done. It's strange to say the young <i>Harry Potter </i>actress could do that seeing we have seen her grow up from such a young girl. So, I went into this really because of her. But, the entire film was outstanding. I really enjoyed it, and I thought Miller was also a great actor.</div>

<b>Title: </b><i>Drive.</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Starring: </b>Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Albert Brooks, Ron Perlman, Christina Hendricks, Oscar Isaac.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Brief Synopsis: </b>Driver (Gosling) gets odd jobs as a getaway driver for criminals, while also being a part-time stuntman and mechanic at Shannon's (Cranston) garage. Driver is, well, an outstanding driver - he gives the criminals a small window of time, and wants nothing to know about the actual crime. He just drives. Knowing how great he is as a driver, Shannon persuades mobster Bernie (Brooks) and Nino (Perlman) into purchasing a stock car for Driver to race. Driver, though, has befriended his neighbor Irene (Mulligan) and her son Benicio while her husband Standard (Isaac) is in jail. After his release, Standard is beat up because he owes money from protection in prison. So, Driver agrees to help him rob a pawn shop - and soon the shit hits the fan. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Opinion: </b>First off, Hendricks being in this film was almost a complete waste for her - but so cool that she did it. If you've seen it you'll understand. Pretty darn good movie. A lot of great action scenes and the acting is superb.</div>

<i style="font-weight: bold;">To Do List: </i>Not sure what it is, but there is definitely something I enjoy about Aubrey Plaza. And, this looks like a pretty raunchy, teenage comedy. Definitely a watch.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">All is Bright: </i>A guy out on parole wants to make good with his estranged daughter and buy her a piano - so he joins up with an old friend to sell Christmas trees. Probably wouldn't give it a second thought, except it stars Paul Rudd and Paul Giamatti. So, I'm curious.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Man of Steel: </i>I never got into the Christopher Reeves version of <i>Superman, </i>so technically this is my first real experience with him - and I liked it. See review <a href="http://steel11kane.blogspot.com/2013/07/theater-review-man-of-steel.html">here</a>. Looking forward to checking it out again - and for the next films in the series.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Turbo: </i>Saw this along time ago in the theater and just finally wrote my <a href="http://steel11kane.blogspot.com/2013/11/theater-review-turbo.html">review</a>. This was a surprise for me - not a spectacular film, but much better than I thought it was going to be.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Prince Avalanche: </i>I saw the trailer for this film, and I like both of the stars, however I just didn't see the draw to the film itself. I might actually check it out, though, eventually. It got some pretty decent reviews.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Paradise: </i>A conservative woman renounces her faith after she is severely burned in an accident. She sets out to experience the world. Don't think I will look into this one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Ambushed: </i>Dolph Lundgren stars - yeah you read that right.

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Grown Ups 2: </i>I know Adam Sandler gets a lot of hate, and honestly he did not come across as a great guy in the original <i>Grown Ups</i>, but I actually liked the first film. And, so did my son. I am not sure if the second can be as good - they usually aren't - but I definitely want to give it a shot.<br />
<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">White House Down: </i>This is the second White House film to be released - the first was <i>Olympus Has Fallen </i>- and I have not seen either yet. I will definitely be watching both at some point - looking forward to seeing which is better.<br />

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Girl Most Likely: </i>Kristen Wiig did a pretty decent movie awhile back called <i>Bridesmaids</i>. But, the last few films I have seen from her being released on DVD, I had never once heard of being in the movie theater. What is up with that? Bad selections by her?<br />
<br />
