“MICRO” by Michael Crichton is MACRO-fun!

November 28, 2011 in Book Review, Reviews, The AWESOMENESS of GREGG!

Jurassic Park in your own backyard… That’s what I came away from after devouring the latest (and possible last) techno-thriller penned by Michael Crichton, Micro, which was completed by author Richard Preston (most famous for his chilling 1994 non-fiction thriller, The Hot Zone, about the Ebola outbreak in a primate quarantine building that occurred in Reston, Virginia in 1989). To [...]

J. Edgar…a MUST See

November 15, 2011 in History, Movie Reviews!, Movies, Reviews

Holy Hot Damn… those are the first three words that came to mind after seeing this film this evening. As I mentioned prior, I minored in History and have researched Hoover in many instances and I must say, Clint Eastwood did a magnificent job with this film. I know many people are going to moan and groan about Leonardo DiCaprio [...]

‘REAL STEEL’ is a Knockout!

October 9, 2011 in Movie Reviews!, Movies, Random NEWS of some sort, Toys and Action Figures

Real Steel? Live-size, live-action “Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots?” Yes please! The premise is pretty basic: a down-on-his-luck former boxing champ Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) needs cash for a new robot so he can make some $$$ in the ring as the sport of boxing has been outlawed and replaced with robot fighters. In debt to a lot people, he [...]

Movie Review: Killer Elite

September 23, 2011 in Movie Reviews!, Reviews

Killer Elite has a great trailer, utilizing the song “Rock You Like a Hurricane” to great effect. Jason Statham vs Clive Owen? Check. 80′s rock music? Check. Robert DeNiro? Check. Somebody getting punched in the balls to 80′s rock music? DOUBLE CHECK! I am here to tell you, this trailer is misleading. OVERALL: This is a movie about ex-military. It’s about [...]

Captain America vs. Green Lantern

July 27, 2011 in Reviews, Toy reviews!

For Father’s day this year, my kids got me a figure from both of the late-summer comic book movies of 2011: Captain America the First Avenger and Green Lantern. Specifically, they got me the Comic Version of WWII Cap from Captain America and Sinestro from Green Lantern. I thought it would be fun to pit them against each other and [...]

Review: Captain America: The First Avenger

July 22, 2011 in Comic Books, Movie Reviews!, Movies, Reviews

    IN A NUTSHELL: It’s like Indiana Jones mixed with Star Wars viewed through the “Marvel Studios” lens. I guess whether or not you will like it depends on how much you like those movies. It 100% fits with the Marvel Studios Universe established in Iron Man 1 and 2, Incredible Hulk, and Thor but feels more like Indiana Jones and [...]

Quick Movie Review: Friends With Benefits

July 12, 2011 in Movie Reviews!, Reviews

I got to see the Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis Romantic Comedy Friends With Benefits a couple weeks ago, and I’m just getting to this quick review now. OVERALL: It’s a plot that’s been done before, and it’s a plot that’s been done very recently with even a “That 70′s Show” star. Yet, this was still an enjoyable romantic comedy. My [...]

Why ‘On Her majesty’s Secret Service’ Is The Perfect Bond Film…

June 27, 2011 in Movie Reviews!, Movies, Random NEWS of some sort, Reviews

Y’know… …this never happened to the other fellow! Having a film as GOOD as ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ that is. With that line spoken, we immediately know that we, the audience, are in for something completely unique in this picture. In a series riddled with cliche`s-a-plenty even into the third film, ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ (referred to as [...]
