ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER (Jun 22, 2012)

Starring:  Benjamin Walker, Rufus Sewell, and Dominic Cooper

Director:  Timur Bekmambetov

Rated:  R - Runtime:  105 minutes

Genre:  Action | Fantasy | Horror

For those of you who have read the book, I am told by one reader that the story doesn’t follow the book to the word.  But for those of you who really don’t give a damn whether a movie does what movies do best which is bringing a good story to the silver screen then this one is for you!  I thought the movie has a great story line, the acting was superb and there are no down times throughout the movie.  This is what I go to the movies to see!  Personally I don’t give a (bleep) if a film follows the book precisely as it is the movie makers that take books and cut scenes to make the movie one that can keep the attention of the movie goers (you and me)!  Kudos to the film makers for doing just that in this film!!

You will find the film enjoyable from start to end, so my suggestion is go see it for yourself and please come back and let us know what you thought.  I am certain that you will agree with me on this one!

My Rating: 4 1/2 Mugs of Guinness - aka; 4 1/2 Stars for those being too young to enjoy the Irish Ale.

BRAVE (Jun 22, 2012)

Starring:  Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly, and Emma Thompson

Directors:  Mark Andrews, and Brenda Chapman

Rated:  PG - Runtime:  93 minutes

Genre:  Animation | Action | Adventure

Ladies and Gents this film will absolutely surprise you, it has bits and pieces of some great humor laced throughout the film, it has a great story line reaching deep into the hearts of all Mums and Dads.  This is a film animated so well and brings to the big screen in my estimation the best film that Pixar Animation has done to date.  It’s not only a film for the youth but you adults as well!  So get off your butt’s and take the kids to see this one!

Just a little about the voices you hear in the movie, Kelly Macdonald is the voice of Merida (you will love her), Billy Connolly, the voice of Fergus, the king and father of Merida (you will love the humorous content of his part in the film), and of course Emma Thompson the voice of the Queen and mother of Merida, her part is the serious “Mum” but as the story progresses you will see how her part changes and in actuality it is quite humorous!

So, in closing I simply put this out for all even slightly interested... ‘DON’T MISS THIS ONE’ it is one that you will want to have and keep in your library of DVD’s when it reaches the stores

ROCK OF AGES (Jun 15, 2012)

Starring:  Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta, and Tom Cruise

Director:  Adam Shankman

Rating: PG-13 - Runtime:  123 minutes

Genre:  Comedy | Drama | Musical

Stacey Jaxx is played by Cruise and unfortunate as it may be I think this film is one that Cruise may look back at and ask why the hell did I take this part?  Being the drunkard rock star that he is portraying his part in this movie is oh so much less than what we have come to expect from him.  Overall, I thought the movie has a poorly written storyline, but I guess you can’t expect too much from a musical...... Or can you?

The bright spot in the film is the music, some great old tunes brought to life and done quite nicely but here again it just doesn’t make the movie one to remember!  If I were you and had the choice of the two movies that were released this past week I would pick this one as you will see or have already seen in my review of “That’s My Boy”.

My Rating: 2 1/2 Mugs of Guinness - aka; 2 1/2 Stars for those being too young to enjoy the Irish Ale.

THAT’S MY BOY (Jun 15, 2012)

Starring:  Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Leighton Meester, and Susan Sarandon

Director:  Sean Anders

Rating:  R - Runtime:  114 minutes

Genre:  Comedy

Oh my god, can a movie have any more “F-bombs” and screaming than this one?  Please tell me this is not what to expect from Sandler in the future because it sucked.  I have spoken to others who have seen it and some have said they loved it, yet others thought the same as what I have written.  Am I getting old and don’t appreciate his humor?  I don’t think this is the case but I’ll let you make up your mind on it.  Personally I think the movie was written for one level of intelligence (minimal at best).  If asked if I would suggest spending the time and money to see this film my answer is a firm NO, Hell NO.

However if it’s a screaming idiot you are looking for in a film then this is the one for you to venture out to see!!

My Rating: 1 Mugs of Guinness - aka; 1 Stars for those being too young to enjoy the Irish Ale.

PROMETHEUS (Jun 8, 2012)

Starring:  Noomi Rapace, Logan Marshall-Green, and Michael Fassbender

Director:  Ridley Scott

Rating:  R  - Runtime:  124 minutes

Genre:  Adventure | Sci-Fi | Thriller

Great special effects, ok acting, and a good storyline would be about all I have to say about this film.  All the hype that was given to this film leaves you at a loss when you leave the theater.  Almost every great film has once again been given to you in the trailers, leaving very little to the imagination or finding a special twist in the film all the way up to the final scenes.  There you will find the only twist that may leave you with a question.

If you are a Sci-Fi movie nut you will like the action that takes place, but like me I think you will find that even there the director didn’t take the time to get the shots that could have added greatly to the film.  I know you will like the scene where the robot gets his head torn off and still communicates to the crew.  That’s awesome, kinda like having the head of a deer mounted above your fireplace who will talk to you (ok, kidding but think about it).

My Rating: 3 Mugs of Guinness - aka; 3 Stars for those being too young to enjoy the Irish Ale.
