It was weird that I went to see Hugo with no preconceived notions. Not because I hadn’t heard about it – although any information about it was very scarce. It was because I heard about it over a year ago and totally forgot. I walked in just thinking it was a cool period piece with [...]

Seeing a man named Sherlock about a horse
December 27th, 2011 
Chris Doelle Everyone knows that the sequels are usually not as good as the original… right? Most of the time that is true. This time however, the second incarnation is actually better. Sure, the critics and fans panned Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and many wrote at off a pale imitation of the last film. I [...]
They DID the Impossible!
December 18th, 2011 Chris Doelle That’s right. Tom Cruise‘s latest incarnation of Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol is pretty darn good. While I thought the very first MI film was average, the sequels were absolutely dismal. I was sure this was going to be more of the same – NOT. MI-GP was written well, acted well and [...]
The Real Deal
October 16th, 2011 Chris Doelle Okay, when I first heard they were making a movie out of the old Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em Robots, I thought for sure it was going to suck. When I saw the previews for Real Steel, I was SURE it was going to suck. Something happened between watching that trailer and finally watching the film [...]

A Front Runner for Best Film
September 3rd, 2011 Chris Doelle I went to see The Help with Dawn and Kenzie tonight and although I expected it to be good, it was much better than I had figured. This is easily the best movie I have seen this year! I know the critics are lambasting it as “racist,” and I get that – but come on, [...]
Say it isn’t so…
September 3rd, 2011 Chris Doelle I think the end is indeed near.. This from the Fandango website: “The Blues Brothers is being adapted into a TV series. The plot will find Jake and Elwood traveling across the country trying to find Elwood Sr. Each episode will include one main musical number with different musicians taking on the role of The [...]

August 18th, 2011 Chris Doelle Imagine my surprise! I went to YouTube to check on my latest video upload and found YouTube Movies. I still know relatively little about it, but it is worth investigating. I will check back with what I like and dislike. What are your thoughts?
3D Done Well
July 10th, 2011 Chris Doelle First, let me start by saying that I am NOT a fan of 3D movies. The stuff purposely flying toward the screen is campy and takes the viewer out of the story. The 3D glasses are uncomfortable. There is really nothing positive that I can report about 3D movies in a normal theater. IMAX 3D [...]
Le Tour is inching closer
May 19th, 2011 Chris Doelle Not sure why I am so stoked about this year’s Tour de France. I mean, I look forward to it every year – something is different this time around. It could be that my wife has developed in interest in cycling so maybe I am just looking forward to having something else we can share. [...]

May 2nd, 2011 Chris Doelle Longtime readers know I am a fan of documentaries. I especially like learning about how “the man is keeping us down.” Food, Inc. is not only a great lesson in that but, as someone who has taken a lot of time to educate himself on our food supply, sure to be on my suggested “must [...]
