I took the family to see this late December, and I enjoyed myself, but I was experiencing several emotions while viewing the film.  One emotion is of familiarity.  Having grown up with the Star Wars films and it having such a profound experience on me as a young teenager I come full circle now as I view it with my own children.  I was glad to see the old cast again even if it was briefly.   It connected the film for me, and as well I enjoyed the adventure that the characters were on.  The music and the effect were all fine, and why would it not be since ILM was still involved.  It was a new cast for as new generation, and maybe thats where it gets emotional.   I saw Star Wars back in 1979, and it profoundly changed me and lite my imagination on fire.  I knew that I wanted to become involved in filmmaking.  George Lucas was my major influencer and I knew his work such as " THX1138 " and " American Graffiti ".  To make a long...

Okay you've heard by now this movie is doing fantastic business.  The studio has passed the two billion mark worldwide, and it's still growing. I'm also sure you've heard all the spoilers now.  Amazing now that we have to contend with "spoiler" alerts now.  I mean what would Hitchcock of done with "Psycho"?  I remember the campaign back then had people NOT to tell the ending to the people coming out of the theater.  Now you're a tweet away from making that happen. But I digress.  So how is the film?  One word "FUN!" If you're a fan of Marvel, and you've seen most if not all the movies you'll love this film.  I can only imagine the box-set coming out for this.  It would be huge.  Now if you're not a fan then this is not the movie for you.  Clocking in over a little over 3 hours long it certainly does not feel like 3 hours, and that's a good thing.  The filmmakers Anthony Russo , and Joe Russo do an extraor...

It's been said that the material that Star Wars has generated that it could go on for a very long, long time. Time will tell if it is the right decision to hand off the Star Wars franchise to Disney, but I think it's a great idea, and one that will only grow the franchise. I'm a BIG fan of Mr. Lucas, and I am very greatful to him and his vision. Go Disney! If you want more info on the deal check out the NY Times article on the sale of LucasFilm to Disney here.

What does one do when the kids are off from school, and it's a birthday to boot.  Well one heads to the cinema for some laughs.  So the family headed out to see Disney's latest "Gnomeo & Juliet", and we were not disappointed. The film is a send up on "Romeo & Juliet", only with garden gnomes.  Hey I was skeptical at first, but it was the only film out there that was decent for the kids to watch, and you know what it was kind of cute.  There I said it. It wasn't offensive, and it didn't totally stink.  In fact Sir Elton John is one of the people who is responsible for this making it to the screen, and his songs are all over this film.  Sir Elton's creative hands are all over this film, and he does a good job at keeping us entertained.  Their are voices by Michael Caine , Maggie Smith , Jason Statham , Patrick Stewart , and even Ozzy Osbourne .  With talent like this it can't be all that bad, and it isn't. ...
