WarGames 25th Anniversary
I can’t believe that it’s been 25 years since I saw WarGames in the theater. I didn’t even know what a modem was then or how it would eventually change my life. I’m so going to check this out again on the big screen.Great article on Wired.com about this move re-release. It’s the must-see nerd event of the year for sure.
It was the year Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union an “evil empire”; the year the United Nations implored the Russians to withdraw from Afghanistan; the year ABC aired The Day After, a TV movie about the wake of a nuclear attack on the US. In the midst of all this came WarGames, a fizzy little thriller about looming Armageddon.

The Day the Earth Stood Still
Saw this preview before Hancock the other day. I have to say i’m intrigued very much. I’m a bit burned out on Keanu but this is one of my all time favorite classic sci-fi movies.
The Day the Earth Stood Still is 20th Century Fox’s contemporary reinvention of its 1951 classic. Keanu Reeves portrays Klaatu, an alien whose arrival on our planet triggers a global upheaval. As governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery behind the visitor’s appearance, a (Jennifer Connelly) and her young stepson get caught up in his mission – and come to understand the ramifications of his being a self-described “friend to the Earth.”
I get chills, just thinking about this one…

Hancock: Review
Okay, I went into this one with just about the lowest expectations as one could have. There’s been a lot of haters out there on Will Smith and personally don’t have a problem with him. His shtick does get old, but generally it’s well placed throughout the movie or just enough to make you laugh.
Synopsis: There are heroes… there are superheroes… and then there’s Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes great responsibility – everyone knows that – everyone, that is, but Hancock. Unpopular superhero Hancock saves the life of a PR executive who attempts to salvage his public image.
Overall the plot was new for the movie realm of the comic hero category, but not so much new for those of us who have experienced this type of story line through reading comics over the years. Nevertheless I think you’ll see some stuff you haven’t yet.
Will Smith and Charlize Theron did a good job as did Jason Bateman — oddly enough it was Bateman though that kept taking me out of the movie, not the special effects as most critics are saying.
I give it 4 out of 5 stars and say go see it in the theater.

Wanted, so what did you think?
I haven’t heard much about the Wanted movie, with Angelina Jolie & James McAvoy. Was it any good, did any of you see it? What did you think? Give us a review or post one on the Colamovies.com review board.
A young man finds out his long lost father is an assassin. And when his father is murdered, the son is recruited into his father’s old organization and trained by a man named Sloan to follow in his dad’s footsteps.
Sounds like a good movie, add some Matrix style special effects and you’ve got a decent action flick…?

Going to get to see WALL•E, finally.
Finally, i’ll get to catch WALL•E this weekend, I know i’m late to the party, but what did you think about it?After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL•E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL•E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet’s future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). Meanwhile, WALL•E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen.
