JCVD (2008) Rated R Directed by: Mabrouk El Mechri Starring: Jean Claude Van Damme Runtime: 97mins A friend brought this over a few nights ago. I have to say, I really had no clue what this was about. I vaguely remembered seeing a trailer for it and thought it was supposed to be some sort [...]
Watchmen Redux
So the husband and I saw “Watchmen” again, only in IMAX. This time around, I enjoyed the movie a lot more. I think since I had already seen it and gotten to do the whole “comic vs. movie” thing, I could relax and just get into it more which really helped reduce some of the [...]

It’s an event where you pack a picnic, kick back on the lawn and watch a movie in the cemetery – obscure indie flicks, classics, horror, etc. Last Saturday, they featured “The Hunger” (1983), a Tony [...]
I can kill you with my carrot
“Shoot ‘Em Up” opened this past weekend. I wanted to see it ever since I saw the trailer. It looked like it had good action and Paul Giamatti’s character was wonderfully sarcastic. Plus, the hotness that is Clive Owen was starring. Clive Owen plays a stranger known as “Smith” who mysteriously is an excellent marksman [...]
