Wanted – Fun Nonsense

Posted by David McVay on August 14, 2008 at 10:53 am

Saw Wanted last week. It is nonsense from the first frame until the last, but what fun nonsense. Listen to a full review in the podcast (Episode 2 – Don’t Take Our Popcorn). In a nutshell, I loved this film. It was a loud cartoon of an action movie that is full of CG and [...]

The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Not as bad as I thought it would be

Posted by David McVay on July 30, 2008 at 1:38 pm

I went to see the new X-Files movie last night, I was expecting a real Thanksgiving dinner, I was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t suck as much as I was expecting. In fact, I thought it was a fairly interesting thriller. My biggest complaint would be that it didn’t need to be an “X-Files” movie. You could [...]

Dr. Horrible – The Verdict

Posted by David McVay on July 26, 2008 at 12:58 am

Well, I have been busy with getting the podcast happening and I completely forgot to write my verdict on “Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog”. Okay, here goes, I loved it. I already think that Joss Whedon is a bit of a legend and I am a huge Buffy and Angel fan. I also think that [...]

Get Smart

On Tuesday me and the big geek went to see Get Smart at the movies and it was really good and it was funny. It’s a really good film and my dad liked it too. Go see Get Smart you will like it. Steve Carell makes a good Max and Anne Hathaway was good as [...]

Speed Racer, Visual Overload!

Posted by David McVay on July 17, 2008 at 12:56 pm

Okay, my son, The 9 Year Old Geek, and I went to see this a couple of weeks ago but with all the iPhone news, it got kinda lost in the background. The Wachowski Brothers (The Matrix Trilogy) have not really done it again. Sorry, but the film was complete style over substance and I [...]

Hancock soars!

Posted by David McVay on July 17, 2008 at 12:33 pm

Hey everyone, saw “Hancock” the other night. I really enjoyed the film, it was light weight but an enjoyable romp. John Hancock is a superhero with a twist, he hates himself and everyone else. He drinks too much and sleeps on park benches like a hobo. When problems arise, Hancock tries to help but because [...]

“The Dark Knight” Rocks!

Posted by David McVay on July 17, 2008 at 11:09 am

Saw “the Dark Knight” last night, what a great film. I thought director Christopher Nolan did an amazing job on “Batman Begins” a couple of years back, but now I see he was just warming up. The original cast is back (sans Katie Holmes, she is now replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal) and in fine form. [...]

“Kung Fu Panda” Will Blind You With Its Awesomeness!!!

Posted by David McVay on July 11, 2008 at 4:19 pm

Been so caught up with iPhone releases the movies had gone to the backseat! No more. Went to see Kung Fu Panda a few days ago with my son, The 9 Year Old Geek, and my lovely wife. What a film! The first thing that will strike you is the CG. Perfect animation from start [...]
