“Abduction” Movie Review
(good action, interesting plot, hokey dialogue) – – “OMG THAT WAS AN AWESOME MOVIE!” yelled a teenage girl as she was leaving CineMark Theater #14 in Tracy, CA. For sure, the teen and pre-teen girls in the movie LOVED “Abduction”. You could tell when they SCREAMED as soon as Taylor Lautner (as Nathan Price) made…

(Frightening, Realistic, Scary as Hell) – – In 1975, Jaws, scared the shit out of everyone. Growing up on Long Island (Bay Shore), and living there in the aftermath of Jaws, I experienced first hand the fear people had for the water. I even had to cancel a date because the girl did not want to be…

“X Men” Movie Review
“X Men” Movie Review We decided to go back and watch the X-Men series, starting with the first one in 2000 (on VUDU). We may be among the very few who had not seen it yet… Humans are evolving. The “mutants” are ostracized because they are different (how familiar is that?). Two powerful mutants have taken different…

“Salt” Movie Review
“Salt” Movie Review After much effort, I finally convinced Lori to watch “Salt” on VUDU. Not sure why she was hesitant, but, I suspect Angelina Jolie had something to do with it. 🙂 “Salt” is a great action movie. Car chases, shootings, bombings, intrigue and twists & turns that will keep you guessing what is…
