empire strikes back

It’s been some time since I’ve done a movie review so rather than create a post for each of the movies I’ve seen recently I figured I’d put one of these compilation posts together.  I don’t go to the movies all that often, but after I’d seen Dark Of The Moon not once, but TWICE it was rather strange for me to be back in the theater.  That said, when Harry Potter comes calling I simply cannot pass it up.

NOTE: THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011)

I’ve been a Star Wars fan for as long as I can remember.  I grew up with the original trilogy to this day those movies have shaped my geekdom in many ways.  The prequel movies came out and like just about every other Star Wars fan I was ecstatic to once again see this universe on the big screen.

I’ve written in the past about how based on those prequel movies I’m done defending George Lucas’ movies.  I’ve also talked about how I’m rather on the bitter side that my childhood is being raped by all of these remakes… Continue reading

It’s been quite some time since I came up with any kind of a Top 10 list.  I was flipping through the channels the other night in a hotel room and ran across First Blood on AMC.  Naturally, I sat there and watched it till the end and it got me to thinking what a great era the 80′s was for action flicks.

There are some actors that can play many roles.  There are others who are typecast and can never quite get outside of their comfort zone and play another character.  There are still others that are forever linked to one particular character.  That’s what this list is… the top 10 (in no particular order) “what character you think of first” list.  For me, these are career defining roles for these actors.  This is the first 10 that came to mind so I’m certainly not saying that there aren’t other career defining roles out there.  Let the debate begin!

Let me start off by saying I’m a HUGE Star Wars fan.  Always have been and I always will be.  Those movies and everything associated with them will always have a special place in my heart.  By association I’m a huge fan of George Lucas and the galaxy far far away that he created.  That said, on the 10 year anniversary of The Phantom Menace, this geek is done defending him.

Ever since the final scene of Return of the Jedi in 1983 I wanted more.  I wanted to find out where Darth Vader came from.  I wanted to… Continue reading
