We Loved Puss In Boots 3D

Nov 06, 11 We Loved Puss In Boots 3D

Posted by Michael in Featured, Movies and Video

I see the multi-generational appeal of the Shrek movies, but I especially like the Puss in Boots character.  When I found out that Antonio Banderas would be lending his voice to the 3-D full length movie spin-off, I knew that we would be taking the boys to see it.  I would look silly going by myself. Unlike the rest of the...

Hang In There… Of The Dead

Oct 14, 11 Hang In There… Of The Dead

Posted by Michael in Movies and Video

It’s a proven fact that anything can be made better by tacking “of the dead” on the end of it (corollaries of this include “in bed” and “in my pants”).  Maybe that’s just because I dig me some zombies?  Just add walking corpses, and your favorite clichés become newer and awesomer. ...

Surprisingly, I Saw A Lot Of Summer Movies

Sep 22, 11 Surprisingly, I Saw A Lot Of Summer Movies

Posted by Michael in Movies and Video

For the last several years, I have been under a self-imposed exile from movie theaters.  I had banned movies because the experience was more annoying than entertaining in most cases.  Stinky people next to you, loud people behind you, screaming babies anywhere.  How can you enjoy a movie with these things going on? (I...

Who Can’t Act In Transformers 3?

Jul 05, 11 Who Can’t Act In Transformers 3?

Posted by Michael in Movies and Video, Transformers

Overall, I really liked the acting in Transformers 3.  It’s about as believable as giant robots turning into trucks is going to be outside of Saturday morning cartoons.  Shia LaBeouf plays the one character that he knows how to do, John Turturro is over the top as ever, and Josh Duhamel rocks in everything he does.  Alan...

Transformers Was Missing A Little Star Trek

Jul 03, 11 Transformers Was Missing A Little Star Trek

Posted by Michael in Movies and Video, Transformers

The Transformers fandom was pretty excited to hear that Leonard Nimoy would lend his voice to Transformers 3 as Ultra Magnus Alpha Trion Sentinel Prime.  He was originally the voice of Galvatron in the 1986 animated feature movie, so this could be considered his “triumphant return” to the franchise.  What I...

Gavin’s First Movie Unsuccessful, Not Just Because It Was Cars 2

Jun 25, 11 Gavin’s First Movie Unsuccessful, Not Just Because It Was Cars 2

Posted by Michael in Being A Dad, Movies and Video

We took Aiden and Gavin to see Cars 2 today.  Aiden has proven to be very good in movie theaters, but this was Gavin’s first trip.  He didn’t act very well at all.  Gavin didn’t want to sit in his seat, and he didn’t want to wear his 3D glasses.   When he did wear them, they kept falling off, so he...

Chrissy And I Go Out On Our Own For A Night

Mar 29, 11 Chrissy And I Go Out On Our Own For A Night

Posted by Michael in Movies and Video

Chrissy and I are very involved parents, so we don’t normally get to go out by ourselves very often.  Every night, it’s dinner, bath, books and then bed for the kids.  Not to complain, but it’s nice to get a “Date Night” every once in a while.  Cassie agreed to babysit for us while we did the...

Aiden And I Saw Tangled In 3D

Dec 09, 10 Aiden And I Saw Tangled In 3D

Posted by Michael in Being A Dad, Movies and Video

Aiden was so good when we took him to see Toy Story 3 that was it was an easy decision to take him to another movie.  Aiden and I went to see a matinee showing of Tangled in 3D.  And like last time, he was very good during the entire movie.  He didn’t make barely a sound, and even shushed me once or twice.  I guess I was...
