    “The Amazing Spider-Man” Movie Review

    Except for a few changes and a new bad guy….this movie is just, to me anyway, a redone Spiderman.  Same old same old. You know the story…a less nerdy Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) gets bitten by a super spider, he gains some really cool powers, beats up his High School bullies, fights evil, and has…

    “Men in Black 3” Movie Review

      – – There is one secret the universe does not know about.  But to find out what that is, you have to ride a somewhat uneven MIB3 all the way to the end.  At times MIB3 is funny and exciting, at times it is boring, and at times it is poignant. An escaped prisoner travels…

    “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” Movie Review Update 1/14/2016: Today we lost Alan Rickman….Snape.  You are terribly missed. Even though we knew what would be happening, it was magical to see the vision on the big screen.  They made some changes from the book, but, it was all good. Harry, Hermione, and…

    “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” Movie Review

      Apparently, the race to the moon in the 60’s was spurred by the crash of an alien spacecraft on the moon.  The U.S.A. wanted to get there first. Since I remember watching the landing on TV, the scenes of that historic event were really cool.  I had no idea that Armstrong and Aldrin found…
