Tron Legacy

This just hit the net today, after being showed at Comic Con. If you don't know what Tron is, it is a movie that was released in 1982, it has to do with a computer programmer that is sucked into the computer world and plays games and tries to get out. It is the first movie to use computer animation, and the style of it is incredible. Any sci-fi fans out there, I recommend checking this one out if you never have, it might look a little cheesy, but it has such a unique look to it, it shouldn't be missed. After almost 30 years, they are making a sequel to the 1982 cult classic, it comes out in 2011, and I am excited for it, but I am looking forward to them showing us some of the footage from the movie as it gets closer. As well, they finally settled on a name, "Tron Legacy". For a while, they were debating the title, like Tron 2.o, TR2N, and they even went with Tron, which would have caused confusion I'm sure. Well, I can't wait for more information.

Speaking of classic movies using computers in the 80s, look for the 25th Anniversary of The Last Starfighter on DVD and Blu-Ray August 18. Another movie that has dated effects, but it is still a good movie, and I recommend it. I hope they do a great job on transferring it to high defintion, if it turns out great on Blu-Ray, I will get it.

Harry Potter is gold

Well, if you haven't heard by now, Harry Potter has ranked up some pretty solid numbers this past week. In fact, it smashed one record that The Dark Knight previously held last summer, that is the most ranked during a midnight showing. A total of $22.2 million during the midnight premiere to be exact. After the weekend, it has ranked in about $160 million altogether since it started Wednesday. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend checking it out. In my opinion, it's one of the best in the series. After watching this recent entry, I am excited to watch the rest of the series again, and I am excited to see the next one.

Speaking of Harry Potter, I picked up two of the movies on Blu-Ray, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I watched the Order of the Phoenix, and the picture and sound were amazing. So if you are looking for any good Blu-Rays to add to your collection, the Order of the Phoenix is a very good one. I will be checking out the Goblet of Fire soon and I will let you know what I think.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince review

I will start off by stating that I am not a Harry Potter fan. For me, I have seen the movies once in theaters, and then I usually don't seem them the whole way through again. However, they have always been fun to watch and I enjoy going and seeing these movies. But none of the movies have made me go, "Man, I can't wait for the next one." Well, after this one ending, I found myself saying that. This one was the probably the darkest Harry Potter movie to date, I could be wrong since I haven't really seen the others ones for a while, but I was a little surprised to see the film go back to a regular PG rating instead of a PG-13, when it didn't at all feel like a regular PG. Nonetheless, it was really great. I found myself enjoying the movie and really eager to see what happened next. Besides it being the darkest Harry Potter, I could also come to the conclusion this is the best Harry Potter film to date. I highly recommend it, and I am sure there are some of you out there that will be going tonight.

In preparation for the new film, I watched the first one with some friends last night, well sort of. We had a little commentary track going along with it from Riff Trax. Riff Trax is a group of three guys that watch certain movies and with them record some funny comments to go along with the film, if you want to see for yourselves, follow the link and you can view samples. It was actually pretty funny.

Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs review

I remember watching the first Ice Age movie years ago. It was not one of those movies that I was dying to see, but I ended up seeing it anyway. I found myself very surprised by how funny it was and the fact that it was very entertaining. I haven't seen it for a long time, and I haven't seen the sequel except for a few minutes. I ended up watching the new one today. As with the first one, there were funny moments and it was pretty entertaining overall. They added a new character, voiced by Simon Pegg, and he was very funny. I recommend checking it out at least once, especially if you enjoy the Ice Age movies.

Well, Harry Potter arrives in theaters in a couple of days, or if you are going to the midnight showing tomorrow night, then you only have a little over 24 hours to go. I will let you know what I think of it. I am not a Harry Potter fan, but I am really excited for this new movie.

Five Days till Harry Potter 6

Well, here we are at another weekend, but probably all of you are holding your money for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, so more likely you won't care what comes out this weekend. But if you are looking for something, there is I Love You Beth Cooper, and Bruno. I Love You Beth Cooper is a new teen comedy directed by Chris Columbus, who was the director of the first two Harry Potter movies, funny, and he has also directed Home Alone and Adventures in Babysitting. There are other movies that have been released for a while that are worth checking out, like Transformers, which should enjoy possibly it's last week in the number one spot at the box office before Harry Potter knocks it down.
