Hunger Games 2
I watched “Hunger Games: Catching Fire” and it’s a lot like the first movie, so pretty nifty, but also somewhat predictable. It’s available from the Regina Public Library. Soon I…

Escape From Planet Earth
I watched “Escape From Planet Earth” a cartoon with Rob Cordery, and it’s pretty good. William Shatner plays the bad guy.
Charlie’s War
Saw “Charlie Wilson’s War” which explains the background behind the Soviet’s failure in Afghanistan, and paved the way for the Taliban to later take over. Today I saw “Cars 2″…
Sex, violence and TV shows
We just finished watching the third season of Game of Thrones on DVD this past weekend. Before that, we watched The White Queen, another DVD series (one season only, although…
Epic Fourth
Watched “Epic” about little tree people. “Born on the Fourth of July” a 1989 Tom Cruise movie about a Vietnam vet who protests the war. A Marvel Avengers cartoon movie…
Robin Williams is Dead
I blame Canada. The world lost a really genuine person who tried at least as hard as Jim Carey and Steve Carell, to make everyone laugh. Aww shucks, Williams was…
The World’s End
Rewatched “Cast Away” a few days ago. Also saw “Dallas Buyer’s Club” which is based on a true story of AIDS in the mid ’80s. It starts out in a…
The Onion On Movies
Presented without comment.
Hotel comedy
https://mobile.twitter.com/fbiagent4hire/status/478379393996169218 I saw this a few weeks ago, and also think you hold see the Budapest Hotel.
The Hollow Crown
I’ve watched three of the four productions in the 2012 TV series, The Hollow Crown, this past week, and am greatly impressed by the productions and the acting. Wonderful, rich…
The Three Stooges
I bought a DVD set called The Ultimate Three Stooges this weekend.* I was rather surprised that even 20 DVDs could not contain all of the film work the trio…
The Accidental Sea
Interesting film on California’s abandoned Salton Sea.
Dr. Strangelove Was More Of a Documentary Than We Thought
This is a little bit terrifying, in the context of world destruction. Dr. Strangelove was a great movie in the 60s about a military base commander going crazy and ordering…
Earthsuck
“Earthstorm” is barely a 3. Humour value at least. My girlfriend guessed the ending. It was Armageddon meets Harlequin. #Bmovie Solve problems by blowing up the Moon, with nukes.
The Wild Women of Wongo
Who can resist a film with a title like that? Or Zontar, the Thing From Venus? Robot Monster? Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet? The Atomic Brain? Clearly, I can’t. I…
The Debt
Watched most of “The Debt” and would watch the rest later if it was convenient to do so. It’s about spies in East Germany attempting to kidnap a Nazi. The…
Pacific Rim
I watched “Pacific Rim” after “Super 8″ and was not as impressed by either as I’d hoped to be. First, I can’t hear Pacific Rim any more without thinking Job…
Bus-Taker’s Guide To The Galaxy
I helped invent and host a city bus tour to a movie theatre from the Riddell Centre on Tuesday evening. It went very well, even though our bus was 20…
Adrift
I have yet to see anything that so sublimely and elegantly shows how mankind and nature can cohabit this planet, yet we continue to lay a massive pounding on the…
