Dark Shadows doesn't suck

Submitted on May 16, 2012 - 5:42am

Dark Shadows is creepy, goofy, and bizarre...and I really liked it. Tim Burton was probably the only guy who could transform the old TV series into a full length movie; and if you are a fan of Burton's other films, you will enjoy “Dark Shadows” just as much.

The Avengers = Super Awesome

Submitted on May 7, 2012 - 5:54am

"The Avengers" was smashing all sorts of records over the weekend, and quite frankly I am not surprised. This was one entertaining movie. Whether you are a comic book junkie or a super hero first timer, you will love this movie. The special 3D effects simply make it even more fun to watch. I for one will probably be going back at least two or three times.

5 year engagement: 2/5

"The Five Year Engagement" starts out as a pretty decent movie but then takes a swerve and dives off right off the cliff.

Extreme Rules = Extremely Entertaining

Submitted on April 30, 2012 - 9:15am

Typically "Wrestlemania" is the WWE's biggest pay per view of the year, but hands down I feel it failed in comparison to what fans were treated to at "Extreme Rules." At least two of the matches are contenders for matches of the year, and the Brock Lesnar versus John Cena match far exceeded my expectations.

Here are a few of my favourite highlights

Sheamus versus Daniel Bryan: best two out of three falls for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Titanic 3-D: chilling and awesome

I will come right out with it and say this movie was really, really good. The last time I watched Titanic was back when it was originally released in theatres over a decade ago. The 3-D effects definitely give this movie new life.

American Pie: Reunion

The gang is all back together for their high school reunion. "American Pie:reunion" picks up where the other ones left off. I highly recommend you watch the others tho before going to see this movie, otherwise you won't appreciate the jokes as much.

“Hunger Games” satisfies the appetite

Submitted on March 24, 2012 - 8:12am

Based on the best selling books by Suzanne Collins, “Hunger Games” is the next big movie trilogy for the young adult crowd. While the movie may be geared more for the 12 to 17 year old age group, I definitely think that the older crowd will find it appealing as well.

21 Jump Street: Charged with laughter in the first degree.

Submitted on March 19, 2012 - 7:41am

Car chases, shootouts, a Johnny Depp cameo--and tons of laughs. I loved this movie from beginning to end. Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill made a great combination. I think my sides were still hurting when I left the theatre.

For those of you who are familiar with the original TV series, you will know the plot. For the rest, here is the breakdown. A couple of junior misfit cops (Tattum and Hill) are re-assigned to a special division. Their mission is to go undercover as high school students and stop the distribution of a new drug.
