A Walk in the Woods (2015)

Fun and Intelligent Hike

[8/10 · 5 September 2015]

I truly enjoyed this movie, had all experienced, professional actors and actresses and it showed. Those critics that say there is no plot or drama are either too young to appreciate the aging life lessons and insights or too serious and particular and need to lighten up. I, and many in the theater, had quite a few laugh out loud moments. This is a movie for the more mature, intelligent crowd. Not for someone looking for a tense drama, or twitch action flick. I have not read the book but have read reviews that stated the book was even better so I know what my next read will be. This movie had some great nature shots of the AT which was an added bonus. Thought Nick Nolte and Robert Redford were good casting for their characters.

Hercules (I) (2014)

I would wait and rent it

[5/10 · 2 August 2014]

The trailer is misleading. If you think, as I did, that you were going to get to see some cool battles between Hercules and the awesome monsters they show in the trailer, forget it. The trailer shows the total amount you get to see those cool monsters in the movie and its in the 1st 5 minutes of the movie. The movie itself is an ancient war movie, decent but not what I expected. The action sequences are pretty good and the story pretty good. I wasted my money on Imax 3D for this movie and wasn't worth that extra cost. The Rock is his usual bad self and the acting overall was decent. Special affects were OK. Again everything about it was "ok". As I said in the title, wait and rent it later and save yourself some money.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

Movie of the year !

[10/10 · 2 August 2014]

All I can say is if you like sci fi movies DO NOT miss this movie. It is so well done on every level you can think of, the story, the characters, the acting, the special effects, I can go on and on. On top of that its very funny, there are many laugh out loud moments. From the opening scene to the closing you will wish it never ends. The great thing is they wrapped up the current storyline but left it wide open for what I hope are many sequels to come. One little hint, don't leave until the credits are complete. Also we saw it in IMAX 3D. If you can, see it in that technology, never saw a better use of it, looked fantastic.
