Posted on 11 July 2011 by House

Thoughts on New Moon

Posted on 30 November 2009 by House

So, as something of an act of penance for having taken her to see Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen over the summer, I went to see The Twilight Saga: New Moon with my girlfriend.  (In her defense, she says … Continue reading →

Zombieland!

Posted on 31 October 2009 by House

I recently saw Zombieland, and was absolutely delighted with it.  It was short, but felt plenty long.  It had a Michael Cera-esque male lead that was not Michael Cera (not that there’s anything wrong with that).  And it was damn … Continue reading →

Thoughts on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Ack!  I’m about twenty posts behind here, regarding things I plan to blog about.  Surprisingly, I’ve not been blogging because I’ve actually been doing work.  But last Sunday I encountered a tragedy so great that it had to jump the … Continue reading →

Thoughts on Star Trek

Posted on 12 May 2009 by House

The new Star Trek movie has been heavily reviewed, lately, and has been winning almost-universal praise.  (It currently has a 95% fresh ratintg on Rotten Tomatoes, which is really, really good.)  I basically agree with all the praise. The movie … Continue reading →

Quick Thoughts on Monsters vs Aliens

Posted on 11 May 2009 by House

I ended up seeing Monsters vs. Aliens quite by accident, when—while questing for movie gift cards—my girlfriend suggested we see a movie, since we were already there, and it was really the only thing of interest at that time that … Continue reading →

Thoughts on Fanboys

Posted on 9 May 2009 by House

It was some weeks ago now, but the movie Fanboys—which I had seen trailers for over two years ago, and had been waiting for ever since—was finally released in Toronto.  (It apparently comes to DVD on May 19th, so this … Continue reading →

Thoughts on Dragonball: Evolution

Posted on 27 April 2009 by House

In the last few weeks, now that the girlfriend has been reliably returned from her travels, my movie-going has increased dramatically.  (It has also helped that they have started to put out non-serious films, and are slowly warming up for … Continue reading →

I Watched Watchmen

Posted on 9 March 2009 by House

I saw Watchmen earlier tonight, on my second attempt.  (I had not anticipated a Saturday matinee being sold out more than 45 minutes before showtime.  My mistake.)  I was not displeased.  I know that does not sound like a ringing … Continue reading →
