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 [...]

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, [...]
Oscars Pull up Lame
February 28th, 2011

Supposedly, this is the Academy’s move to appeal to a younger demographic – they must [...]

November 17th, 2010
Chris Doelle I was watching a documentary on the DOC channel called, “Ride the Divide,” about the Tour Divide race. Being a long time fan of cycling and cycling events, I have to say that this one rocks! Similar in mileage to the Tour de France, it has a few aspects of it that make it much [...]
Good Funke and bad dance moves
May 11th, 2010
Chris Doelle I am actually embarrassed to admit that I sat down to watch Dance Flick. I never got into any of the silly teen dance films, so what made me think that I would like one of those ridiculous parodies about the same subject? Unlike Scary Movie and a couple of the other parodies that were [...]
