Critical Hit - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the sixth installment in the Harry Potter storyline which hit theaters this week. People seem to love or hate this story and I’m not referring to the Half-Blood Prince, but rather the Harry Potter story in whole. I am a fan. I’ve read the books and seen all the movies. I enjoy the movies but not nearly as much as the books but the last two movies have captured the essence of the books very well. The bottom line is that most books don’t translate well to the movie screen and is why they were books in the first place. Hollywood just has no creativity and has to steal from every print source they can. So, this is all I’ll say about the books and how they translate to the big screen as this is supposed to be a review about a movie. (more…)

Critical Hit - Year One

Year One is a comedy about our “ancestors” and how life was funny back in ancient times and while I laughed some I just couldn’t get past the fact that only certain characters talked as they would back then while most spoke as you and I do today. The mix was odd which is a great way to sum up Year One…odd. (more…)

Star Trek

J.J. Abrams delivers! I’ve been on the fence with this guy for a bit now. I love some of the stuff he has done and yet other stuff doesn’t work. Star Trek was the final decision for me. As a an avid Trekkie, I wasn’t about to forgive Abrams for ruining the best sci-fi franchise ever created BUT thankfully, he pulled a gem out of his hat and Star Trek was everything the hype says it is…and more.

Fast & Furious

The crazy racing franchise returns with a vengeance. If you saw the first movie, The Fast and the Furious and liked it then you’ll enjoy the new one.

Imagine that there was no The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift because it was a terrible film. The new Fast & Furious picks up several years down the road from where our characters left off in the first film. From there we get a whole new story that involves Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez).
