Up review

Looking for something good that the whole family can enjoy. I recommend Up, it is Disney and Pixar's latest offering, and the first time they have used Real 3D, and it was pretty nice. Don't be completely fooled by what the previews have shown, because that is only part of the story that is presented in the movie. It is a very well done story. And as always, the animation is incredible, you can tell the details and everything in an animated picture is improving, it is a joy to watch. Looking for a nice movie to watch this weekend, Up is the pick.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen IMAX poster

As you may or may not know, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will not only be released in traditional theaters, it will also be released in IMAX theaters as well. There are a few sequences that were filmed with IMAX cameras, just like The Dark Knight. So, of course, here is a recommendation to go for the biggest screen possible. It comes out in a month, I am so excited.

This weekend, two movies make it out to the theaters, Disney and Pixar's Up, and Drag Me to Hell, a horror movie directed by Sam Raimi. I am really excited for Up, it looks great. I love Pixar's movies, I just watched A Bug's Life last night, so funny.

As for DVDs this week, I don't know of many great releases to jump up and down for just yet. If you like anime, particularly Ghost in the Shell, the director of the first movie, Mamoru Oshii, has released Sky Crawlers. It looks interesting, I plan to check it out sometime. There is also Forever Strong, which is a football movie if you like those. There are some other releases, like New in Town.

Speaking of DVDs, There is a website called Good Movies Online, which takes popular movies and takes out the sex and nudity, language, and really graphic violence. It is going out of business and they are having a little sale before they are done, so if you want movies without that kind of content, check it out before it's gone, they do a good job editing the movie.

Terminator Salvation review

Yes, I saw Terminator Salvation last night. I was really impressed with the movie. For all of you who don't know, this one takes place after Judgment Day, the year is 2018, and the humans are at war against the machines. It was very well done, Christian Bale was good as John Conner. I really liked Sam Worthington, he did a great job. And Anton Yelchin was also great as Kyle Reese. Kyle Reese is the guy that goes back in time in the first movie to protect Sarah Conner from the Terminator, the one where Arnold is the bad guy. Kyle Reese also becomes the father of John. I highly recommend the movie. Check it out this weekend, it starts tomorrow.

As well, the soundtrack is also available now. Picked it up yesterday, and it is a good soundtrack, the score is done by Danny Elfman. It also contains a song by Alice in Chains called Rooster.
Speaking of soundtracks, Linkin Park's new song "New Divide" for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is now available to listen. It is actually good, the soundtrack for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen comes out June 23, and it looks like they are selling a few different versions of the soundtrack, one that has the rock songs, one that has the score, and hopefully there is one that has both.Twilight fans, you want the new poster, here you go, for New Moon. It comes out in November, I will notify you when the trailer hits the net.

As for DVD and Blu-Ray releases, there were a few. Valkyrie is now available, I will be watching that on Blu-Ray soon, as I rented that from Netflix. As well, fans of the show 24, the seventh season is now available for purchase. A Bugs Life is also now avaible for Blu-Ray. There are a bunch of other good releases.

Angels and Demons review

I saw Angels & Demons last night very late, and I found it to be very good. And a couple of days before that, I saw The Davin chi Code for the first time, which was also good. I found this new one to be very good. Definitely worth your time, even if you haven't seen The Davin chi Code. That is the big recommendation this weekend. I don't care for Tom Hanks, but I still thought he did a good job, as well as the rest of the cast.

Also, if you haven't seen Star Trek yet, go check it out, it is actually a really good movie, just so you know, I am not a Star Trek fan, but I still enjoyed it. And Wolverine is also a good movie to check out.

Next week, we see Terminator Salvation hit the big screen. Terminator fans, catch up on the old movies and be ready for the new one. As well, the sequel to The Night at the Museum arrives as well. And for those who are into spoof comedies, Dance Flick arrives too.

As well, look for Linkin Park's new song "New Divide" on the radio and iTunes on May 18. This song is part of the soundtrack for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Star Trek review

Star Trek starts tomorrow. As always, I get to see these movies a day before they are released. I am sure the big fans are going to catch the early screening tonight, that is the first chance that the public will have to catch the movie. I am not a Star Trek fan at all. I never watched the TV series, I never even watched the old movies. The only one I saw was Star Trek Insurrection. A lot of the Star Trek stuff is foreign, so I can't tell how close they worked with the material. But I can say this, I actually really enjoyed this movie, it was a lot of fun to watch. So, for any of you that don't care about the original Star Trek stuff, don't worry, I didn't care about Star Trek before, and I probably won't go out of my way now to see the original stuff, but I still highly recommend.

X-Men Wolverine Review

First of all, I am now back working at the movie theater again. So I can see the movies before they open. I saw X-Men Wolverine Wednesday night, and I have to say I enjoyed it. I didn't know exactly what to expect, because some of the early reviews weren't very glamorous. I still had hope that it would be better than what was being said. In my opinion, I think it was better than people were saying. I thought there were some things they could have changed a bit and improved, but overall it was a good movie. I enjoyed the back story of Wolverine, and thought Hugh Jackman, as always, did a great job as Wolverine. So, if you are looking for a good movie to start the summer season off with, here you go.

Also, before the movie, I believe they will be showing the new Transformers Revenge of the Fallen trailer, which is also now on the internet. Click here to see the trailer. It looks amazing. I am now even more pumped to see the movie. If you can, on the trailer page, click to watch an HD version of the trailer, it looks awesome.

This summer looks like it will be awesome.
