Wanted DVD Impressions

I finally got around to seeing Wanted recently. I knew the premise of the story from the trailer and thought it looked pretty good. However, I was really disappointed with the movie. I just did not like it that well. I took the time to write a longer review with my complaints here: Wanted Review

The Longest Yard DVD Impressions

I watched The Longest Yard last night because nothing was on TV. It was the remake that came out in 2005. I had never actually watched the remake but I’ve seen the original on TV in the past. I liked this remake. It had a very predictable plot, even if you have not watched the […]

The Bourne Ultimatum Review

*** Spoiler Alert *** I saw The Bourne Ultimatum last weekend and I have to say right off I really enjoyed it. The whole movie is pretty much non-stop action with just enough dialog to keep things moving along nicely. I’m not going to bother with a long plot recap so here is the quick […]
