Prince Caspian (2008)

I enjoyed this. I thought it was well-made and fun. A great family film. I can’t remember much from the book so I’ll give no opinion whether or not it keeps the story intact. Of course the book is better but what else is new.

Live Free or Die Hard (2007)

This was better than I thought it would be. Bruce Willis is still very cool. Having it set during the Fourth of July weekend was a great idea but it was quickly forgotten and it was not used at all. Kevin Smith and the airplane at the end almost ruined it for me.

Transformers (2007)

Hearing Peter Cullen’s voice at the open brought back my childhood in a rush of nostalgia. Then I spent the next 45 minutes bored of my mind. Things picked up a little from there with a cool car chase and some other action. The story and the plot made no sense but I figured that going in so I wasn’t taken by surprise. The climax was a huge let down and again it made no sense.

Shooter (2007)

Antoine Fuqua is talented, so I decided to check this out. It is well made and sports a great cast. It also has some great action. I was into it until the girl is being raped and tortured while we are stuck in an action scene miles away. And it was totally clear that the main character wasn’t going to be able to do anything about nor did he even seem to care. So in this state of mind the end of the film seemed to be absurd and senseless.

The Medallion (2003)

Certainly not Jackie Chan’s finest film. The story was thin and the action wasn’t too exciting. It was hit and miss fun, but mostly silly.

Earthquake ‘08

Not only have we had a flood this year we’ve also had more earthquakes than I can ever remember. In April I felt the one that happened in Illinois. But on Monday we had one with the epicenter less than two miles away. Perhaps the end is near.

Ezra Crane Update

28 Weeks Later (2007)

I loved 28 Days Later so I thought this movie would be a let down. Wrong! It was awesome. It gives the first one a run for its money and is one of the best sequels ever. Just like the first one is was great human drama wrapped in a genre package. I want more!

Lifeboat (1944)

This is a very fascinating film. It takes place entirely in a single life boat. Hitchcock worked his magic and made it quite compelling. It is a classic that you rarely hear anything about.
