Kill List again

Doctor Caligari again

Moe, Larry, and Curly Joe get trapped in a rocket and whisked away to Venus, where they meet a talking unicorn and an evil robot who killed all other inhabitants of the planet.

Probably the only time I'll ever have the opportunity to type a sentence like that.

Spellbound
Documentary about a spelling bee in 1999.

The Desolation of Smaug

Again, it was more palpable the second time

The most recent movie I have seen is Halo: The Fall Of Reach motion comic-film. It's a faithful adaptation to the book. And shows that 343Industires is capable of doing something good for the Halo-verse.

Found in a bargain store :



I am of the opinion that some of the characters are a bit underused, especially the girl whose parents got murdered in the first scene. I would have expected that she would play a larger role then she did. Also the ending is a bit of a downer.

Perry Mason is summoned to the home of a wealthy client who suspects that he's about to be murdered and wants to change his will. Sure enough, the client is soon found dead, an innocent man is arrested and charged, and Mason defends the suspect in court while searching for the real killer.

I'll admit this: Although Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit was an entertaining movie, Paramount should have a considered a better actor than Chris Pine. IMO, Chris Pine is a terrible, terrible actor. If this picked up where
The Sum Of All Fears left off, IMO, Ed Norton, Mark Ruffalo, Channing Tatum, or Mark Wahlberg would have been more interesting choices than Chris Pine.

I thought Pine was fine, but it's certainly been downhill since Alec Baldwin, who was just about perfect in The Hunt for Red October. I read the other day that they're trying to get a Jack Ryan TV series off the ground. Ryan becomes President in the books, and I wouldn't mind if they cast Baldwin in a President Ryan series. But it'll probably be yet another reboot, with some young actor I've never heard of who was in a Hunger Games sequel or something.

I read about that too, with Amazon TV being the network that will air a Jack Ryan TV show. However, Michael Bay will serve as an executive producer, so IMO, that will leave fans of the Jack Ryan books and/or movies praying that it won't suck.

BTW, thanks for the Doctor Who/Jack Ryan jokes! I needed a laugh today!

That would have worried me a few years ago, but I was worried when I saw that Bay was producing Black Sails, and I ended up enjoying that show quite a bit. "Executive producer" usually means "this person allowed us to use his name to market our product and he has no creative input." I'll await it with cautious optimism, but for the time being I've got plenty of Ryan books to check out (I'm still on the first and there are about a dozen sequels).

Murder. Inspector comes to town. Vampires on the loose? Maybe, maybe not. Whatever.

I wish the movie were half as cool as that poster. It's a total bore, and the twist ending renders so much of what we've seen completely nonsensical.

The Fantastic Four.

Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The problem I have with the movie was not the black Human Torch, or the undersized Ben Grimm in Pre-Thing human form, but how they really underused Dr. Doom, and how they changed his motivation from ruling the world to destroying it.

Too bad. I expected so much more from Todd Browning.

The Battle of Five Armies

I feel good about the Hobbit Trilogy now. I despised it the first time I saw it, but now I guess I'm okay with it

I didn't. He really went to sh*t after Freaks.
