01.31.10 by Widge @ 7:14 am  The Spacedome Before I begin this, let me relate to you my relationship with IMAX. I'm originally from Huntsville, Alabama. And in Huntsville we have the Space and Rocket Center. Which is quite swank and you should visit if you haven't. In the Center is the Spacedome, an IMAX screen. It opened in 1982, so I would go see movies there--space docu movies is pretty much all we had, but still. They were ginormous and awesome and even bigger because I was a kid, so everything was bigger back then. I even--perhaps this is during my lamentable stint at Space Camp (the actual thing, not the movie version)--learned about where to sit to get the best effect, i.e. right by the "Doghouse," or the projector that sat in the middle of the seating area. And that made it all even cooler. Categorized as: Movies

Written by: Peter Schink & Scott Stewart My Advice: Wait for the DVD, if you see it at all. Short Version: Not bad, but you can simulate the experience by watching, In This Order: the opening 20 minutes of Terminator, all of The Prophecy (1995, not 1979), any several random portions of The Omen, the Commandments scene fromThe Ten Commandments, and all of Terminator 2. Long Version: The whole "Angelic-Host-Exterminating-Humanity-And-Humanity-Has-To-Save-Itself" Thing would have worked, wonderfully, if they had focused on that. And the whole "What-Makes-Humans-Unique-Even-Unto-Causing-Heretofore-ABSOLUTELY-LOYAL-Archangels-To-Rebel-Is-Their-Ability-To-Persevere-And-Show-The-Best-Of-Themselves" Thing, would have worked, wonderfully, if they had focused on that. Hell, those two things would have worked well, together, if those were the only two plot points. Categorized as: Movies and Reviews

01.27.10 by Siege @ 12:58 pm  Written by: Gary Whitta Review: Mix together Mad Max and Leon, then form it into a holy arrow of some kind, and fire it through the testicles of a would-be rapist, and this is what you get. It's good to see Oldman return to his psychotic bad guy role, which he does very well, and even better to see Denzel Washington flip out and kill tons of dudes.
