    “The Tourist” Movie Review

    “The Tourist” Movie Review  (Johnny Depp & Angelina Jolie…need I say more?) The critics did not seem to like this movie.  To them I say:  Get a life! We watched it in the movies, and then we bought the blu-ray disc.  Last night we re-watched it on blu-ray.  The movie is very good, but, the…

    “X-Men First Class” Movie Review

      Update June 8, 2024: 13 years after this review we re-watched it (STREAMED) on Disney+. Still great…..still funny…..and Wolverine still tells them fuck-off in one of the best movie scenes EVER! 🙂 “X-Men First Class” is a prequel to the three original X-Men movies.  Like “Star Wars”, I am hoping there will be another…

    “X-Men: The Last Stand” Movie Review

    UPDATE May 26, 2024: We STREAMED this movie on Disney+ last night. Still excellent and great fun. We have watched all three X-Men movies now.  Ready for the new one this Friday! In “X-Men: The Last Stand” there is a “cure” for the mutants and we find out that Jean (Famke Janssen) is the most…

Well, the mature trailer was pulled.  Here is the regular one: Drive…

  • “Fools Gold” Movie Review

    “Fool’s Gold” Movie Review  (could have been better) We actually bought this DVD…not sure why. Matthew McConaughey (as Finn) and Kate Hudson (as Tess) have spent the last 8 years married and searching for the missing Spanish treasure ship the Aurelia.

    “X2” Movie Review

      UPDATE: On April 24, 2024 we STREAMED this movie on Disney+. 13 years after our original viewing and review below, “X2” is still excellent but a lot more confusing, with a lot more moving parts, than “X-Men”. On our quest to watch all the X-Men movies before the next one comes out…this was #2.…

  • “Kung Fu Panda 2” Movie Review

    “Kung Fu Panda 2” Movie Review

      My opinion:  Way better than the first one Po (Jack Black) and gang (Tigress (Jolie), Monkey (Chan), Mantis (Rogen), Viper (Liu), and Crane (Cross)) travel to Shen’s (Oldman) location to destroy a new weapon that threatens to end Kung Fu. We learn more about Po’s childhood and how he came to have a goose…
