Super 8

Super 8 was number one at the box office this weekend, bringing in a little over $36 million dollars; however, it was disappointing. I cannot say that the movie was bad because it had some great moments. The kids had great chemistry together and, I have to say that their acting skills were on point. Together they were an entertaining crew. I think the thing that was a little underwhelming was the plot and the monster. As much as I love science fiction flicks, I am getting a little bored with the Alien's that we mistreat and won't let go home. Can we come up with something a little more creative.

Actually, I would love to see The Event (recently cancelled television series with a great cast a crew) be made into a movie. Now that is an intriguing Alien-Human interaction. At any rate, Super 8 was enteratining enough to see on video, instead of the movies.
Super 8 [Blu-ray]
I give it a C.

Ric is a dirty rotten slime ball that deserves to lose everything he has. He should have fallen out of grace a long time ago after the whole poisoning Liz and trapping Carly in the panic room business. Somehow, he managed to keep Elizabeth as a friend but after the trial, there i

Fired for Reviewing the Bootlegged Wolverine

There is a big brouhaha over the leak of the new Wolverine movie. The FBI are involved with an investigation and everyone is up on arms over it. As an author, I can appreciate why bootlegging is bad for business. There are people out there who will wait to see the movie in the theaters for the full effect. Then there are those that do not care about that and will watch the bootleg version. Well, this Fox columnist probably should have left the bootleg alone. Maybe he wanted to be hip or cool or whatever. I am thinking that he must have been tired of working and was looking for a way to get fired. How foolish could a person be? He not only watched the bootleg version of a movie put out by his parent company, but he actually posted a review about it. It is almost as though he was condoning it Whatever your views are on bootlegs this was a dumb move. You do not go on national TV after the bank you worked at was robbed and say that you hope the thief gets away with it. Naturally, he got fi
