The Sacramental World of Harry Potter

Date August 4, 2009Posted by David N

If you don’t know already, I love Harry Potter. This wasn’t always true. I hadn’t even heard of the books until the first movie was announced. Embarrassingly, while at my Aunt and Uncle’s house, I picked up Goblet of Fire (the newest book at the time) and, seeing the name “Harry [...]

Star Trek (2009)

Date June 4, 2009Posted by David N

I’m a huge Trekkie. I admit to loving all ten movies (yes, even Nemesis) and all 5 of the TV shows (including all four seasons of the short-lived and disappointing Enterprise). When it comes to anything Trek I have a hard time being objective. So it was a foregone conclusion that I would love J. [...]

First Images From The New Trek Film!

Date October 24, 2008Posted by David N

I'm a big geek.  I don't deny it.  I'm really exited about the new Star Trek film from director J. J. Abrams (Alias, Lost, Mission: Impossible III).  Here's a sneak peek at the new look of Trek:

Eric Bana's Romulan villain, Nero, looks pretty cool.  And the bridge of the Enterprise looks like the inside of [...]

Movie Review: He Was a Quiet Man

Date January 23, 2008Posted by Roger Overton

In He Was a Quiet Man, Christian Slater plays disillusioned
office worker Bob Maconel who is on the verge of shooting his co-workers. He’s
a nobody who keeps to himself and lets everyone else walk over him and he’s had
about as much as he could take. The only problem is that another one of the “lame”
workers beats [...]

Since people may wish to see the film before reading a review, I've only posted the review on my Lewis blog. Read it here.

Movie Review: Elizabethtown

Date October 14, 2005Posted by Roger Overton

Tonight Face and I were privileged to catch an advanced
screening for bloggers courtesy of Grace hill Media. We weren’t quite sure what
to expect, but who can turn down a free movie?
The central character of the film is Drew Baylor (Orlando
Bloom). Drew made a shoe that flopped and lost his company, well, if you around
it up [...]

Movie Review: War of the Worlds

Date July 3, 2005Posted by Roger Overton

Yet another remake… I vaguely remember reading War of the
Worlds a number of years ago. I do recall it actually being a fairly good read.
I wonder if Spielberg read it, or if he just took some major (loose) plot
points…
Anti-psychiatry guru Tom Cruise stars as a father who
doesn’t know how to father, Ray Ferrier. His daughter, [...]

An Alternative Review of Batman Begins

Date June 18, 2005Posted by Amy Hall

I'm going to have to disagree with Roger on this one.  I hate to say it, but I have to give this movie a 6 overall–it's a 6 trying very hard to be a 7, but not quite making it.  I've been trying to pin down exactly why I thought Batman Begins was just mediocre–maybe [...]

Movie Review: Batman Begins

Date June 18, 2005Posted by Roger Overton

Who’s
afraid of the big black bat? Evil. That’s the idea anyway. Batman
Begins chronicles the rise of one of America’s favorites comic book
heroes. Whatever you wanted to know about Batman, played by Christian
Bale, you will likely find out. But the back-story is only a third of
the film. The rest in played out in a run-down Gotham [...]

Movie Review: Star Wars- Revenge of the Sith (NO Spoilers)

Date May 19, 2005Posted by Roger Overton

Don’t worry, I wont be exposing any of the interesting plot points that aren’t painfully obvious to anyone who’s seen the original trilogy. Yes, there are some things that some of you don’t know, so I’ll be careful.
 
This is one of the most anticipated films of all time, if not the most anticipated. What makes [...]
