Dawn and I went to see Valentine’s Day on… uh, yeah – you guessed it – Valentine’s Day. My overall view of the film was good (for a chick flick.) It had some good comedy, some sappy romance, and even a cameo by Director, Garry Marshall. Okay, naming a cameo by Marshall as one of [...]

Cameron’s success is…. well, elementary.
December 30th, 2009 
Chris Doelle There are two seasons where you can usually count on seeing a good movie or two – the Summer blockbusters and the Christmas blockbusters. This Christmas season has provided me with two good movie outings. Both of them made me skeptical at first, but in the end, both delivered solid entertainment. First up was Avatar [...]
This one may sneak up on you.
December 2nd, 2009 Chris Doelle There are a few things that put a guy instantly on guard when it comes to choosing a film to watch. First and foremost – is Sandra Bullock playing the lead? This is usually a sure sign that you are in for a romantic comedy complete with sappy love story and comic pratfalls. From the [...]

1 Comment »New Moon – same old drivel
November 30th, 2009 Chris Doelle I was warned not to make fun of The Twilight Saga: New Moon because I would be sucked into seeing it just to spite me – well, I did and I did. Not only was New Moon one of the worst excuses for a movie I have seen in ages, it probably felt worse because [...]

November 23rd, 2009 Chris Doelle I went to see 2012 because New Moon was sold out and although I give Dawn a hard time about not wanting to see the vampire flick, I think it will actually be pretty decent. I was happy to take in 2012 though because I have wanted to see it ever since I took in [...]

November 16th, 2009 Chris Doelle Okay – so I’ve never been a big fan of Angelina Jolie. Sure, she’s not hard to look at. Sure, she has some amazing… uh, assets. I finally saw the movie that took her personal quest and made it visual – Beyond Borders. Okay, I admit it. I started writing this review about fifteen minutes [...]

October 22nd, 2009 Chris Doelle It seems that as things get settled into a more normal routine, I am remembering more and more films that I have seen and not reviewed. First off, let’s cover the most recent film I have seen first – Where the Wild Things Are. I was struck by a few things with this film. First, [...]

August 6th, 2009 Chris Doelle Alright, I don’t have anything against chick-flicks – they’ve just never been high on my list of must-watch genres. Seriously, give me a good action, sci-fi, comedy, period piece, you name it… I just never got into the whole gushy, weepy, love story genre. That said, as you read the films I have had to [...]
Movie catch-up time
June 24th, 2009 Chris Doelle I’ve fallen woefully behind in my movie reviews, so I’m not gonna waste any time – let’s jump right in. Since this is going to be a very long post, I thought I would list the ones that I reviewed up front so you can decide which ones you want to read. They range from [...]

October 27th, 2008 Chris Doelle Occasionally you decide to watch a movie that you had no intention of ever seeing – that was the case recently with Speed Racer. The previews left me convinced that I would never feel the urge to watch it – heck, I never even liked the cartoon. The over-the-top graphics and cheesy clips in the [...]
