Stars Wars Convention / Adam Hughes – Indianapolis

Yesterday went pretty fast.

The morning started out with me waiting for about 25 minutes at the exhibitor entrance to the convention center, as David tried to get a badge for me. As it ended up, somehow he got one of the convention team to escort me in to the exhibitor hall. Now, mind you, tickets are not cheap, and we were inside almost two hours earlier than general admission, and one hour before even the fan club was let in. It was awesome, to be able to walk around before …

Presumed Innocent (1990)

I really like Harrison Ford, and even though I realized I had already seen this movie after watching 10 minutes of it, I enjoyed it for the second time.

Starring Harrison Ford, Brian Dennehy, Raul Julia, and Bonnie Bedelia, this movie is basically about how lust can destroy a marriage.

Ford is a prosecutor who, from the very beginning, is thrown into a murder trial of one of his fellow attorneys. But this

Be Cool (2005)

This is the sequel to Get Shorty. I don’t know why it took 10 years for it to come out, but it did anyway.

This movie still has an enormous cast, including this time round, Christine Millan, Uma Thurman, The Rock, Vince Vaughn, Cedric the Entertainer, and Harvey Keitel. But just because it has a great cast, doesn’t mean it was a great movie. I may watch this movie again, but

Garden State (2004)

Who’s in it

Natalie Portman, Ian Holm, Zach Braff, Peter Sarsgaard

What was good

I thought this was a cool story that was told backwards, and it worked really well. It starts out slow but as you get to know the main character (Braff) you start to realize why he is the way he is, slow, dopey, and he barely talks. Braff is grown up, working at a dead end restaurant job and his father calls to tell him

Finding Neverland (2004)

I pretty much knew this was going to be a good one.

Starring Johnny Depp and Kate Winslett, this is based on the true story of James Barrie, the author of Peter Pan.

The story revolves around Depp (Barrie) who is a struggling playwright when one day, he meets the Davies brothers and their mother Slyvia, whose father has passed away. Depp quickly finds himself in a fatherly role to the boys and the deeper he gets,

Coach Carter(2005)

I was nervous about this movie, thinking it was by Disney. But instead it was an MTV movie, and I don’t think there have been too many of those that I haven’t liked.

Samuel Jackson is a business owner, former basketball star of this town in California. He is offered to run the basketball program at a rough high school, and he accepts. With an iron fist, he brings attitude and discipline to a

Big Trouble (2002)

This was one of those movies that was largely funny because of the company we were in. If I had seen this at home, I may have thought, “Mmmm, yeah ok.”

Starring Tim Allen, Rene Russo, and Stanley Tucci, the plot of this random movie is a hit is put out on Stanley Tucci that turns into a heist by two idiots who run off with a nuclear bomb. It is silly to the core,
