I love you man : movie review
This is, I hope not final demasculinization of the modern man. This our guy Peter (Paul Rudd )has no real friends, unlike his Zooey (Rashida Jones )his fiance has lots of close friends as their wedding nears he realizes that he needs a best man. So he goes on a number of MAN-DATES to find a new best friend slash best man. This is a strange premise for a film, but as a straight white man, I could see this happening. So he meets Sydney (Jason Segel) and they become friends and start a half-ass rock band.

Angels & Demons 2009 movie review
This an ambitious film and a story based on the book authored by Dan Brown who wrote the 2006 movie The Da Vinci Code. This is an intense book I read before seeing the movie and a real page turner, with a lot of historical references to the Illuminati a secret society and antimatter a strange new substance that is no stranger to star trek fans. This story is very complex almost too complex for most folks and is full of catholic traditions and rhetoric that at times I had no idea what was going on. There is though art lots of famous art from around Rome where the film is set, and this is a kind of history of lesson and action film rolled into one, just like the semi-historical movie that it is a sequel to. Tom Hanks, Ayelet Zurer, Ewan McGregor all give strong performances and Ron Howard does a great good of making a movie that was a monumental undertaking of biblical proportions, no pun intended . Robert Langdon, Harvard University professor is back and this time trying to save the Vatican and the catholic cardinals from an antimatter explosion and a assassin who is as pure evil.

Well as we enter the year 2010 it seems that comic books are starting to come to life. First it was the “ Batman : The dark knight ” and now this film Watchmen. They are moving pictures that are what the imagination of a small child sees when they read a comic book, wild, larger than life stories and these pictures become a place in time that is both real and a figment of imagination. This is a triumph of film making and imagination, a true milestone of this upcoming decade, deep rich and well almost real.

Crank: High Voltage :: movie review

So Crank: High Voltage starts up just where its predecessor Crank(2006) left off, Chev Chelios' (Jason Statham) is in the end of the last film falling back to earth…so he lives. He is scraped off the street and rushed to a room with doctors would take out his heart and replace it with a plastic artificial heart that needs , you guessed it a battery to work so he spends the rest of this film chasing around after his heart and jump starting his battery. Johnny Vang (Art Hsu) is again the villain and he is the one who has the heart in an plastic 6 pack cooler which he carries around like his lunch. This movie is I thought going to be a thriller but has kind of silly in parts and Jason Statham plays the same role as always a British wise guy who can’t when he shoots a gun can’t miss.
