RYAN: This is the new remake of RoboCop and since I barely remember the first one, I thought it appropriate to include you, Michael, in this review since you’re an uber-fan of the original. I enjoyed this one because it has a great cast and is a sic-fi, superhero, action movie that raises a lot ..
SCI FI / FANTASY
RYAN: I love a good monster movie. I like scary movies. Sadly this movie is neither of those things. CAROLINE: Ah that’s too bad. What’s the deal with this movie? It didn’t screen for critics. Never a good sign. RYAN: RIght. It was originally supposed to come out in February of 2013 but then was ..
SCI FI / FANTASY
RYAN: The Legend of Hercules is a love story! Who knew?! It’s actually very much a cross between Clash of the Titans and 300 – complete with major man-candy, helmets, capes, sword fighting… CAROLINE: (laughs) Careful with the innuendo there! RYAN: Ha. I really liked this movie more than I expected to, especially considering it’s a January release. It ..
SCI FI / FANTASY
RYAN: Part two in The Hobbit trilogy is a fine continuation of the story and I’ve said it before – Peter Jackson is the quintessential person to be realizing these stories because he adapts them with so much love and passion. He respects the material but goes beyond it. I didn’t read the book but ..
ACTION
RYAN: I am so excited abut this movie; I can’t have loved it more! Seriously, right now I’m obsessed with The Hunger Games. I loved the books and you didn’t read them so we can each give respective reactions to the adaptation. I just wanted it to keep going. When this movie ended, I could ..
DRAMA
RYAN: This new romantic dramedy stars Rachel McAdams and Domhnall Gleeson and it makes you feel like you’re in love and like you’re falling in love. No matter how bitter you are; whether you’re single or coupled up – this movie has such strength stemming from the palpable chemistry between these stars. It’s every bit ..
SCI FI / FANTASY
RYAN: This is the new movie based on a popular science fiction book series which I have not read, but Nathan, you have, so I welcome your added viewpoint to this review. I like the cast – Harrison Ford, Viola Davis and Ben Kingsley, but I didn’t expect to lurve this film. And I do ..
DRAMA
RYAN: One of the biggest movies of the year is Gravity from now visionary director, Alfonso Cuaron, who is one of my faves since even before directing the third Harry Potter film and what he’s done here is a real masterpiece. Unlike anything you’ve seen before, breathtaking in story and scope – it’s so ambitious, ..
ACTION
RYAN: Riddick is the third in a series of films about the character portrayed by Vin Diesel. I didn’t see the first two, so went in cold. It’s prehistoric meets the future – very sic fi/boy movie. The script is corny. Vin is a lousy actor. The other actors are fine and some effects are cool. ..
SCI FI / FANTASY
RYAN: This is the first in a potential new franchise, based on a series of very popular fantasy-adventure books by Cassandra Clare. Five of six in the series are already out; the sixth is yet to be published. CAROLINE: I never read them. RYAN: Nor have I, but I must admit I’m tempted to after ..
SCI FI / FANTASY
RYAN: This is the sequel to Percy Jackson & The Lightening Thief (2010), and I enjoyed the first movie and liked this one about as much. GABY: I liked it too. It’s kind of similar to the first one but different at the same time. RYAN: It is the same tone, spirit and sense of ..
SCI FI / FANTASY
RYAN: I don’t know what had me more more excited about this movie – that it’s the new film from Neill Blomkamp, the guy who did District 9, or Jodie Foster! CAROLINE: They are both good draws. District 9 made quite an impact when it came out. How does this one compare? RYAN: It’s not ..
