You know a movie is very good when it manages to leave you both hating and having hope in your own kind. The Help tugged on quite a few heartstrings and had me looking for tissues on more than one occasion. With the combination of a powerful script and brilliant actresses and actors this movie [...]

Movie Ticket Weekly “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark”

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

It’s never any fun when you get yourself all worked up and excited about a movie only to have your hopes bitterly destroyed. For starters, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark was not even remotely scary. The jump scares could be seen coming, the little demonic creatures looked more like mutated rats and with the [...]

This past weekend was the weekend of remakes! How do they stand up compared to their originals? I wouldn’t have the faintest idea because I was one of the viewers that walked in blindly to both Fright Night and Conan the Barbarian. First up we have Fright Night, a remake of the 1985 horror film [...]

The Smurfs

To make up for missing last week, there are going to be two reviews this week. First up will be The Smurfs and then later this weekend, Cowboys and Aliens! Unfortunately I had missed seeing both films on opening weekend, hence the delay. Now, getting back to business, it’s safe to say that The Smurfs [...]

Transformers 3 Review

Considering the fact that this is a movie trilogy franchise based on a line of toys from the 1980s, I didn’t expect much out of this third installment save for loud explosions and giant alien robots fighting it out in some major iconic city in the United States. And that is exactly what I got [...]

Movie Ticket Weekly “Cars 2″

June 29, 2011 Staff Corner
Cas 2 Movie

Cars 2 is another example of a movie where you’re better off ignoring the big-time critics and go by what the audience themselves are rating it. At the time of this review being written, the top critics rate this film at 34% while the actual audiences give it a 67%, which I find to be [...]

Movie Ticket Weekly “Green Lantern”

Green Lantern

Because I am a big fan of the DC Universe I made an effort to attend the midnight release of the Green Lantern film on Friday morning. The fun thing about midnight showings is that some theaters will have events going on prior to the movie starting. I attended the showing at the Alamo Drafthouse [...]

Movie Ticket Weekly “Super 8″

June 13, 2011 Staff Corner
Super 8 Movie

Opening this past weekend was the science-fiction/thriller movie Super 8, a film directed by JJ Abrams and produced by Steven Spielberg. Considering the two big minds behind this movie, I walked into the theater expecting a fairly decent film involving kids and aliens with some cliché moments on top that Saturday afternoon. And just under [...]
