I have to admit I was a little worried about how Indiana Jones 4 was going to turn out, we all saw what happened with Star Wars after all. I’m happy to say that Indiana Jones lives up to it’s predecessors…Although it took two viewings for me to fully appreciate it. The first time I saw it I was a little dissapointed, I thought it was good, but I didn’t think it was near as good as the original three movies. I thought it was too ridiculous and over the top, but after the second time I thought it was no more ridiculous or over the top as the other Indys. I was probably just expecting the worst because of those Star Wars prequels. Read more

Its that time of the year again, the time when all the blockbusters come out and make boatloads of money, the first of these blockbusters this year hopes to be Ironman! But is it worth the wait? Read more

Marcus wrote a post about Iron Man’s suit and the feasibility of it and as you may have guessed we won’t be getting our hands on a suit anytime soon. We are looking forward to getting into a cushy movie theater to see Iron Man very soon though. Some initial reviews have been released and it looks promising. Read Marcus’s post here

For 18 years people have waited to see everyone’s favorite animated, non prehistoric family on the big screen…and the results couldn’t be more disappointing. The Simpsons movie is more of a dragged out episode than an actual movie( if this were the days of “Mr. Plow” or “Marge vs. the monorail” that would not be such a bad thing, But the quality of the simpsons has vastly decreased since then). There isn’t anything that really seems ”Simpsons Movie” about it. There’s no show altering events, no major character deaths, no real changes in humor, all we get is some unfunny Irish kid and the unlaughable spider-pig(its NOT funny).

The movie itself is also as unfunny as the past several seasons, I can only really remember two or three scenes that I actually found funny. The rest is just the same poorly thought out, forced humor that has(unfortunately) become to familiar with the once great series. Homer still has his moments, but even he isn’t what he used to be.

Another problem this movie had was that it practically abandoned most of the series’ most memorable characters(with Ned Flanders being the only non-simpson to have more then 3 minutes on screen). I know the Simpsons has far too many characters to focus on them all in one movie, but when you bump Mr. Burns to a one scene appearance, then you have crossed the line!!

Overall the Simpsons movie was a HUGE let down for what it should have been, but with the current state of the series, it comes as no surprise.

There is nothing, NOTHING funny about Spider-pig!!

Spider man 3 is a perfect example of how to take a great movie series….And completely ruin it. Every thing that made the first two movies great is absent from this cinematic train wreck.

The movie just doesn’t know where it’s going, even to the point that it tries to recreate the events of the first film just to squeeze Sandman in. Another villain (Green Goblin 2) that they had built up since the end of the first movie, becomes a roller coaster of personalities, He’s bad!….Now he’s good…He’s bad again!…No wait he’s good! The third villain(Venom) could have been cool had they saved him for Spider-man 4, but they decided 5 minutes of screen time was enough.

The humor from the first two movies has been dumbed down as well. There is a pointless scene that just has Tobey Maguire get an emo haircut and dance around the city for umpteen minutes.

The only highlights I can think of for this movie are good CGI and decent fight scenes, but last I checked it was good story and characters that made a movie and not fancy special effects.

The Yams is not ammused…
