    The Movie Hero



    I saved this one on my DVR, from a DirecTV showing. Honestly, I'm not sure why, if someone had recommended it to me, or if it just caught me eye. I really enjoyed it, though! I saw this one as very comparable to "The Last Action Hero", in its campy setting of a story set in a movie, exploring typical movie elements. (i.e. the main character oddly refers to the other characters in his story as "Sidekick", "Suspicious Character", and "Love Interest")

    It's not a mainstream movie, and I can see that much of the public wouldn't appreciate it. But for those of us that are movie buffs, I highly recommend it! Not for everyone, and not masterfully done. But fun, and if you can put yourself in the "I appreciate the magic of movies" mindset, I think you'll like it.

    Parts are 5 stars, but other parts are only 3 stars. So I'll give this 4 to 4.5 stars out of 5.

    Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

    Looks like something I might enjoy. I'll look for it the next time I'm at Blockbuster. Thanks, Chris.

        Just finished this. A good bit of fun--not sure I'd revisit it (there are no "deeper meanings" to explore) but it was enjoyable.

          The Lego Movie
          by Chris D
          There have been several Lego-themed movies before, including animated series. I am a HUGE Lego fan, and my own feeling is that these movies have had mixed successes. Some have been cute, somewhat entertaining, but nothing I really loved. Part of the problem, IMHO, is that you're making a movie about...

          Finally saw Wonderlust on movie channel

          Well, that was different, and fun. Paul Rudd, and Jennifer Aniston didn't disappoint with their performances. I particularly enjoyed the whole hippie vibe and free love commune setting and when Jennifer got really into it and the character actors were nothing short of great. Even Allan Alda put in...

          A Hero's Tribute of stirring heart and soul
          by Doug
          The days since September 11 have yielded many emotions among not only American people, but much of the world. It was very comforting to see our Brothers and Sisters of the World unite in sympathy, in mourning, giving our Hero's that died in New York and Washington, a Hero's tribute.

          Tonight,...

          COLLATERAL ... Michael Mann does it again.
          by George Bellefontaine
          I have yet to be disappointed by anything Michael Mann has attempted, but what I really like about Mann is his choice of musical soundtracks. Like Heat and Last Of The Mohicans, COLLATERAL has a killer track.

          As everyone probably knows by now, the movie stars Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx and...
