Knowing

So if it is not known already it should be stated that I am sucker for a disaster movie, and this is a disaster sci fi movie. There are a couple big action pieces that are really well done, the plane crash in particular is awesome with it's single camera shot of the crash and carnage. Now to what bugged me about the movie, I like to keep my sci fi and religion separate, but it is very hard to do when the facts are revealed at the end of the movie, where it gets a little heavy handed on the religion side. I can still recommend it as a watch thou, check it out.

Fanboys

This movie was long in purgatory due to copyright issues, but from what I heard Lucas finally let up and the movie was released. Anyone who is a Star Wars fan is gonna love this movie, it is hilarious. Also it was filmed so long ago it has Kristen Bell and Seth Rogan in Supporting roles (plus a ton of other celebrity cameos). The one cameo that had me laughing the hardest was Ethan Suplee as internet movie blogger Harry Knowles, it was just ridiculous it was funny. Also if you like this type of Fanboyish movie, check out the other side of the universe and watch Free Enterprise (Starring a pre-Will and Grace Eric McCormick) it too has William Shatner in it.

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

The third entry in the Underworld series feels hollow, not that the other entries were full of substance, but I feel this one lacks the visual style of Len Wiseman to really drive it home. The good is that it is not to long, clocking in at around 90 mins, just long enough to get its point across, and the clip from underworld and voice over at the end are a nice touch to bring it all together. Go watch the first 2 and watch this one only if you feel you really have too.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

So I finally got around to watching this movie. The first half of the movie was pretty slow going and I am sure it did not help watching it in 2 sittings. But the last half had a lot of PG friendly action, which was ok... personally I would rather pop in the Lord of the Ring movies to watch then have to trudge through this sequel again. If you really loved the first one check it out, but otherwise skip[ it.
