Oblivion... The most three star rating ever.

Three star in every way. I leaned over to my wife about 20 minutes into the movie and told her he was a clone. There are much better clone movies out there, like Moon. It was good, but only good. I didn't want to leave the theater, but I probably wouldn't have cared if I fell asleep either. I guess my biggest complaint was that there    literally were no surprises and I felt a sense of deja vu the entire time. I really wish I would have saved my money and Netflixed it.

I Have a Prediction

Mark my words, people. I have cast the die and read the wind. I counted the raindrops and examined the fermentation. Heed my words!

On this day, 17 Mar 2013, I hereby decree that Marco Rubio will be the next Republican presidential nominee.

Oh, how I wish it weren't true. But we conservatives will be stuck with yet another candidate pushed upon us who is supposed to be conservative, but isn't.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

    What happened to the children in the classic story? It's a question we all asked when we were younger. We've finally been given some answers. They went on to become witch hunters. Because when spells can't hurt you, you gotta hurt the spell-caster. And you never consider anything else outside of your tunnel of vision. There is nothing in the world but witches, and witches are bad.
    I went in expecting a money-grab-movie with no substance, but was left with the impression that there was a lot of love and care that went into the making. Sure, some of the characters were a bit cliche'd, and there just had to be a love interest, but overall, the story line was well thought out. And it was a bit predictable. For instance, the reason that the two never considered there may be good witches in the world is because they agreed never to discuss their parents, who coincidentally turn out to be good witches. Wow, that was a shocker...
    But most surprising of all was the grittiness. HAG is certainly not a children's movie and although I expected childish jokes, but there weren't any that I can remember. The fight scenes were aggressive and had an edge usually reserved for movies of the Bruce Willis variety. In my opinion, this is a movie that's not a waste of money to go see.

8.5 out of 10

The Bourne Legacy

It's not as bad as the reviewers made it seem. No story line? Absurd. The story line was above average. No character development? Even more absurd. The entire movie was character development, and about how the program came about. I will admit though, that there were some gaffs in the movie progression, and some scenes that are so unbelievable that they wind up being kind of ridiculous. Some attempts to make scenes more action packed made them predictable and way over the top. In particular, there is one scene where an entire police force is chasing Bournesque, and they manage to lose their prey. This is typical of nearly every action flick, but there was an assassin chasing the Bourne guy too. This assassin ended up getting shot, and crashed his motorcycle, yet somehow managed to miraculously follow, catch up to, and seriously endanger the lives of our miracle making duo, while an entire police force lost track of him. Over the top? Of course! But, overall, there were a lot more positive things to reflect upon than negative things, and I didn't feel the urge to leave the theater. My rating: 78%

The Butt Hug

This is the hug when someone who you are familiar with, but doesn't want to become more familiar hugs you front on, but sticks their butt out while hugging. It's pretty much an effective statement of, "Stay away from the crotch!"
