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 [...]

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, [...]
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 [...]

January 29th, 2011 Chris Doelle I know it has been awhile since I did a movie review and frankly, it has been so long partly because I’m so busy, but partly because I have seen so many and don’t have a clue where to start. That said, let’s start with the most recent – The Rite. If you’re looking for [...]

July 27th, 2010 Chris Doelle It’s been quite some time since I did a movie review. As you can imagine, with a new wife, new kids, a new house, new company and yes – even a new dog, things have been a bit busy, (Yes, Lou is still with us as well.) Things are going amazing and during all these [...]
Shrek: They Finally get it right!
June 3rd, 2010 Chris Doelle I was a fan of the very first Shrek, but thought the following two incarnations were just a cash-grab. They were clearly put together just to cash in on the franchise. Well, with two out of three sucking worse than any animated series ever – I felt sure that the title for this post would [...]

May 24th, 2010 Chris Doelle Went to see How to Train Your Dragon the other night with the family and it was surprisingly good. The previews didn’t do a very good job of selling the film, but it ended up being a pretty decent flick. I have to say the CGI is getting better and better all the time and [...]
Iron clad sequel
May 17th, 2010 Chris Doelle I don’t think I even reviewed the first Iron Man film, but let me say that I dug it. A lot of you know that Iron Man and the Hulk are my two favorite comic book characters and that I was overjoyed that they were among the first to transition to the big screen. While [...]
