Wall-E and The Dark Knight

Published by James under Movies

There are really only two movies out this summer that have garnered any attention by me and they are Wall-E and The Dark Knight. Wall-E looks kind of cute, but I haven’t payed a whole lot of attention to the plot info. It’s something I shy away from when it comes to animated [...]

XBox 360 getting Bluray Drive

Published by James under Gaming, Movies

It doesn’t seem like all that long ago that the Microsoft guys were dead-set against any talks with Sony about bringing the BluRay drive to their console system. They seemed to have an “over my dead body” stance on the issue, but Steve Balmer admitted that the console will be going blue this year.
The [...]

The Onion Movie

Published by James under Movies

The other day I posted a video from The Onion about the 2008 election, and it turns out that they’re doing a movie now. The trailer has been released and it is hilarious.
The Onion began as kind of a MidWest answer to National Lampoon at the University of Wisconsin, and coming from the MidWest, [...]

Iron Man Trailer

Published by James under Movies

I think it was last week that I caught the trailer for the new Iron Man film on TV. It wasn’t long after that that the trailer was put on the ‘net.
The main actor is Robert Downey Jr., who’s playing Tony Stark, of course. When I initially heard this was the case, I [...]

Matchstick Men (2003) Review

Published by James under Movies

The other night I had the opportunity to watch a movie called Matchstick Men. I remember hearing a little bit about it when it originally came out in theaters, but I don’t recall seeing a whole lot of press. But it’s now airing on cable and is obviously out on DVD now.
The film’s [...]

Fall DVD Shipment #8

Published by James under Movies, Personal

Just one box in the mail today:

 Hunted

I saw this a few weeks ago on cable and enjoyed it.  I remember seeing trailers for it when it was in theaters, but now I own it, and for about $4, if memory serves.

More Mummy 3 News

Published by James under Movies

I’ve already made two posts about The Mummy 3, but it’s been a while. A week or two ago, there was a news report about the movie series, but I never got around to mentioning it here. It turns out Rachel Weisz won’t be involved in it. I have to admit I [...]

Jet Li Joining The Mummy 3

Published by James under Movies

It wasn’t that long ago when I blogged about The Mummy 3 possibly being made. While browsing Digg.com, I found an article stating Jet Li would be joining the movie’s cast. I was a bit surprised by this. I don’t watch his movies, but I loved him in Lethal Weapon 4.
Other odd [...]

Ghostbusters

Published by James under Gaming, Movies

Like most kids who grew up in the late seventies/early eighties, I loved the Ghostbusters movies. I remember that they were a big success at the box office. Surprisingly, there hasn’t been a sequel made in a hell of a long time. This seems to be changing as Dan Aykroyd, who played [...]
