He did it again.  Mr_Movie_Maven bribed me to see the film with him (Movie_Maven_Jr already saw it).  After all, I did hear that Hugh Jackman was, shall we say, ’scantily clad’, during part of it and I am a big fan of his anyway. 
While not a fan of the X-Men trilogy, per se, I have to [...]

I can’t wait to go see Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull; some fond childhood memories permeate the multiple times as a kid that I saw the first Indiana Jones movie in the historic Roxy Theater in Rogersville, Tennessee.
However, for some brainless reason the city tore down that good old theater. [...]

I’m an unabashed, out-in-the-open, giant monster-flick lover. I’ve got something to chew on for the next few months now.
First unveiled in the release of this summer’s Transformers, the trailer to what appears to be a new monster flick by JJ Abrams (of “Alias” TV show fame) is slated to be released January 18th, [...]
