Review – John Carter

★★★☆☆ What can I say? Walt Disney needs to take a page from the play book of the Chinese government. They need to take their entire marketing department outside, line them up against the wall and shoot just like the Chinese government did with the dude who took the bribe…

Review – Epoch

★★★☆☆ I remembered seeing Epoch when it first came out. Not in a theater, but as a rental when it was first available. My memory of it was something well done at the time and like any movie using tech I wanted to see how it had aged. We have…

Review – Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)

★★☆☆☆ As reboots go, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is not bad. I was a child when the first Planet of the Apes movies came out and saw them many times growing up. Back when the SyFy channel was a good thing, they used to have the occasional…

Review – Transcendence

★☆☆☆☆ Transcendence was a weird movie. No, honestly, it just sucked. I liked the concept. I mean exploring the potential of being able to “back up” a person’s consciousness and personality is a worthy pursuit of science fiction. Exploring the morality, ethics, and potential tragedies associated with the act worthy.…

Review – The Descendants

★★★☆☆ I liked The Descendants, but must admit, all of the Academy Award chatter was a bit too much praise. George Clooney is both a lawyer and the eldest son of the family. Some new tax levee will wipe out all of his siblings if they don’t part with a…
