Poseidon (2006)
Who’s in it
Kurt Russell, Fergie, Emily Rossum, Josh Lucas, Richard Dreyfus
Should you see this movie?
Mmm, maybe if it is real cheap and you are bored. This movie was terribly average. The interaction between the characters were stagnent, and the pacing of it wasn’t comfortable. I personally can’t stand Lucas, and Russell was a mainstay again, the loveable dad figure with his beady eyes. Dreyfus as a gay brokenhearted man was the most

The Alamo (2004)
Who’s in it
Billy Bob Thorton, Dennis Quaid
Should you see this movie?
No amount of popcorn and smiling coke polar bears could make this movie good. It took me three naps to finally make it all the way through, and even then I wondered why I wasted my time. Plus, I waited until the movie came to the library because I thought it would be bad, knew it would deep down, and even free I felt unsettled about it. …
My Sega Pengo I bought in Nashville, TN
I take pride in every one of the stories in how I got each of my arcade game machines, but the one concerning my Pengo is probably my favorite.
When I first started researching classic arcade games in March of 2006 I posted on the video game collecting group on Google(RGVAC) to see if anyone had a Pac-Man, Pengo, or Ms. Pac-Man around Indianapolis. This was one of my first experiences with posting on the group, or any forum for that matter, and expected a great response. I was severely …
United 93 (2006)
Who’s in it
No one you know by name, which is good for this movie
What was good
The insight you got from many other perspectives. The feelings of invulnerability, doubt, denial, and just seeing the reactions and confusing about what happened from those people. They barely found out what had happened before their plane had been hijacked. The terrorists hit fast and hard, knowing that we had become complacent as a nation. Their part wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest (2006)
Who’s in it
Johnny Depp, Keira Knightly, Orlando Bloom, Jack Davenport, Bill Nighy
Should you see this movie?
Yes. Yes. Yes. Best movie of the summer hands down, and that was shown in the box office numbers. This movie is everything a summer blockbuster should be today. Great use of special effects mixed with a new visual idea, great story that keep you spinning, interesting characters, and fun fun fun. Depp returns

Shattered Glass (2003)
Who’s in it
Hayden Christensen, Peter Saarsgard, Rosario Dawson, Steve Zahn
Should you see this movie?
I think so. This was suprisingly entertaining and for the first half of the movie, the best acting job Hayden has ever done. It’s a true story about a writer who “cooks” all of these stories, or fabricates them, and has everyone fooled. He goes to great lengths to make up all of his sources and lies, and uses the system of

Superman Returns (2006)
Who’s in it
Brandon Routh, Kevin Spacey, Parker Posey, James Marsden, Frank Langella, Kate Bosworth
Should you see this movie?
Yes. If you liked the older movies, then you may not like this, but I think this is a much more modern version of Superman, closer to how he should be, using today’s technology to make him happen. It is violent, it’s engaging, and it’s a story that really shows how alienated Superman feels in a
