    Sherlock Holmes looks intersting

    Posted by Gene in Summer Movies

    Kind of reminds me of a “Butch Kassidy and Sundance Kid” sort of movie. It could do well and revitalize a classic story for a new market. Definitely caught my eye.

    Review: Star Trek

    Posted by Gene in Blockbusters, Reviews, Sci-Fi

    I have to say that I’ve been looking forward to this movie for quite some time now. I finally got to get out and see it opening weekend and it did not disappoint. I am now thoroughly convinced that J.J. Abrams is a genius film maker/story teller and will devour pretty much anything he produces from here on out.  This new Star Trek story works on several different levels.  If you are a long time Trekkie/Trekker you’re going to love it for all of its references and classic recreations of dialog and snippets from the original series, if you couldn’t care less about Star Trek and just want to see a great movie that’s both engaging and entertaining then you’re also going to love this movie.

    Review: Watchmen

    Posted by Gene in Blockbusters, Reviews, Super Heros


    I’ll have to admit, I am one of those people who read the graphic novel both when it came out originally and later in life as an adult. It is one of those stories that changes the way you see things. I always hoped that Hollywood would turn out a movie version of this story and at the same time feared they would as well. There has been plenty of terrible super hero movies, so many in fact I often wonder how the good ones are made at all. I really liked the Watchmen, I would say I liked it as much as last year’s Batman: the Dark Night movie. Even though I was very familiar with the story and the characters I found the movie to be faithful to both the heart and soul of the original story and as well visually, as documented even copied frame-for-frame as much as possible.

    If you were on the fence about the new Terminator Salvation movie, check this out. They sold me. Maybe McG has something we haven’t seen yet? Pretty cool.

    Posted by Gene in Blockbusters, Super Heros

    The folks at Rotten Tomatoes have setup their Watchmen Headquarters for all things Watchment.  I can’t wait for next week can you?

    Who watches the Watchmen? You will, come March 6, when Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel gets the big screen treatment courtesy of visionary director Zack Snyder (300). Until then, catch up on all the Watchmen movie news, watch trailers and behind-the-scenes videos from the set, and get ready for one of the year’s most visually stunning epic adventures to hit theaters.

    New Wolverine Trailer

    Posted by Gene in Blockbusters, Super Heros

    I’m still not really sure how I feel about this new Wolverine movie, on one hand it looks okay, on the other hand it’s starting to look an aweful lot like they’ve screwed up the story.  You be the judge.

    Countdown to Oscars: 23 days

    Posted by Melissa in Oscar Buzz

    If you haven’t heard yet, the Oscars are coming up soon. You have approximately 23 days left to go see all the films nominated in every category…

    Ok, so maybe that’s a little too ambitious.

    I’m going to try my best to at least see the films nominated for best picture. I think it makes for a more interesting Oscar viewing. (Besides rating what the stars are wearing on the red carpet, of course.) You should try and get out to see them too.

    All best picture nominees are currently playing at local Columbia theaters and you can find the theater info and movies times at ColaMovies.com. You can see all the films nominated as well as other Oscar news on the official Oscar website.

    Stay tuned - After I see the movies, I’ll blog my opinion about them here. Exciting, I know.
