Chronicle

I went to see this with a open mind. This is a low budget super hero flick with a bunch of no name actors on a low budget. It can either go very wrong or very right. I personally found it went more to the Right side of things. It sets up who the villain will be very early and makes him very sympathetic. The effect they use for flying works brilliantly. Its also a nice twist on how they got out of the typical found footage movie trope. Is it predictable? yes. Is it full of cliches? Yes. Ya know what its still a solid film that id recommend.

Haywire

At the recommendation of my Roommate I decided to give this one a chance. This is the epitome of what i call a "meh" movie. I left it not caring one way or the other about it. Gina Carano is gorgeous and the shots of her fighting are very well done. Partly due to the fact she actually can kid your ass. The story however is told most of the way as a flashback and is confusing until the info dump about 20 mins to the end. Not every and not very bad just Meh...

Sherlock Holmes and The Game Of Shadows

I decided to see this movie on a whim one night. I have to say that it is indeed a lot of fun. Much like the first film except this time it had a better story with Sherlock outsmarting his most famous nemesis. If you liked the first one at all you should see this one.

Beauty and the Beast 3D

In early February Disney released the Classic film to Cinema in the annoying trend of 3d.. I'm really tired of 3d. I have to say that the 3d was done very well. Several scenes were give depth and it all around worked very well. I was quite surprised. So in my opinion it was worth it to see this classic in theaters.

What you expect me to give some long windowed review of a 20 year old Disney film... Why we all know its great? We have all scene it.

For those of you complaining about the re-release in theaters take a step back and realize that Disney has done it since the beginning.

My Issue with Transformers Prime

While I will admit that I am no fan of Michael Bay and his bastardization of the Transformers franchise I have caught several Episodes of this show and while I am no fan of its designs I do think several of the stories are decent and several of the characters made since and are well thought out. I do however turn into a blind rage when a certain character shows up.
