Legion, Toy Story 3, and Lethal Weapon Reviews Posted! legion 2010 300x225


Legion

2010

Starring: Paul Bettany, Lucas Black, Tyrese Gibson, Adrianne Palicki, Charles S. Dutton, Jon Tenney, Kevin Durand, Willa Holland, Kate Walsh, and Dennis Quaid

Written by: Peter Schink and Scott Stewart

Directed by: Scott Stewart

I remember seeing the preview for this and being very excited. It was right up my alley. I love spirituality and gods and angels, et. al. I love apocalypse tales. So right away I knew I was the target audience. Now before I go further, with a wife and three kids as well as a irregular job schedule I don’t get to go to movies nearly as much as I’d like. In fact, I watch most films at home on DVD nowadays. I thought though that I might make an exception in this case.

2010

Written by: Michael Arndt

I have to preface with this by saying that I am a huge Pixar fan. I honestly can say that I don’t think they have ever made a bad movie. Ever. Yes I know that some out there might have some negative things to say about A Bug’s Life or Cars, but not me. I think they have been the most consistent production company of all time. By now most people are probably waiting for the BUT this movie sucked! Or something along those lines.

Lethal Weapon

1987

Starring: Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Mitchell Ryan and Tom Atkins

Written by: Shane Black

Directed by: Richard Donner

I decided recently to introduce my wife to one of the if not the greatest buddy cop series of all time, Lethal Weapon. It had been quite awhile since I had seen them recently when I recently bought the whole series on 2 discs for $15. I couldn’t pass that up. So over the course of the next week or so (hopefully before my vacation – but you know crazy schedules), I’ll get through the saga.

Book Review: Percy Jackson & The Olympians V: The Last Olympian

Book Review: Percy Jackson & The Olympians V: The Last Olympian The Last Olympian1 300x281

Percy Jackson & The Olympians Vol 5: The Last Olympian

Written by Rick Riordan

A more apt title I can’t fathom. The series had been building to a climactic final battle between the gods of Olympus and their heroes vs Kronos and the titans and their armies. The WHOLE book is that final battle.

Film Review: The Unborn

Film Review: The Unborn The Unborn 3 300x108

The Unborn

2009

Starring: Odette Yustan, Gary Oldman, Cam Gigandet, Megan Good, Atticus Shafer, and Jane Alexander

Written and Directed by: David S. Goyer

On paper this looks like it should plain work. A horror film written and directed by Goyer with Gary Oldman on board and a legitimate hottie like Yustan in the lead role? How could it go wrong?

By being absolutely boring.

Restructuring

by Paul Talon on Jan.30, 2010, under Uncategorized

In a long termed project, I’d like to rearrange my reviews so that they are pages instead of posts. Pages that will be subpages of their saga page. So much like they are on the Superman Page (for Smallville) and the Star Wars & V Pages they will be available in drop down fashion from the menu. This of course will take a TON of time and reorganizing of links. I will also be starting on this date (1/30/10) be placing new reviews as pages only.

I will keep the posts as posts for now so that no links will be broken, until I’m done.

Review: Dollhouse 2.07

“Meet Jane Doe”
Review: Dollhouse 2.07 dollhouse tv series 2x07 stills mq 04 300x230

This one was a bit of a mess. I kind of liked what it was going for, but it failed most of the time as it was trying to get there. Things just happened that there was little to no explanation for and it was a bit confusing to follow.

“The Gift”

Review: FlashForward 1.07 oldmaninahat jpg 595x325 crop upscale q85 300x163

For all the griping about this show not moving forward very quickly, I think this episode might have moved a bit too quickly. I don’t question the episode at all. I merely question the placing of the major events.
