MST3K vs. Gamera
Posted on August 18th, 2011 by
What’s this? Two movie themed blogs right in a row? Very unusual, I know, but I just got through watching one of the best MST3K DVD collections yet! It’s called MST3K vs. Gamera and contains all five of the Gamera movies that Joel and the ‘Bots made fun of all in one nice tin holder! So I wanted to talk about it a bit, plus I recently watched a new Rifftrax in the theater and wanted to talk about that, too (Rifftrax is the spiritual successor to MST3K). So, why is Gamera fighting MST3K? And just who the heck is Corn Job?!? All these questions and more will be answered if you keep reading!
Cary’s 2011 Summer Movie Roundup
Posted on August 13th, 2011 by
Well summer is winding down; kids will be starting school (and college) in a couple of weeks, so I thought it might be a good time to do my summer movie wrap up for the year. I saw a lot of movies this summer. Usually what I do is just go see the first showing of something early in the morning because the tickets are cheaper. Especially since I don’t go see anything in 3-D anyway, since I’ve been blind in my left eye since birth, I can’t see the 3D effects anyhow. I also like to take my brother Jeff and his friends to these movies, too, because I’m nice like that. So here’s a roundup of all the movies I saw this summer, I guess I should warn you folks that there might be some spoilers here and there, but nothing too bad I don’t think.

Cary’s Favorite Disney Themed Video Games
Posted on September 21st, 2010 by
In honor of the new Kingdom Hearts game recently released on PSP, and the upcoming Epic Mickey adventure on Wii, I thought I’d write a blog about my favorite Disney themed video games! So put on your mouse ears and let’s begin!
Cary vs. Summer Movies
Posted on August 10th, 2010 by
The summer season is known for having many blockbuster movies. And since summer is nearly over, I figured I’d write a blog about all the summer movies I’ve seen this year in theaters. Enjoy!
Toy Story 3
Posted on June 28th, 2010 by
I love Pixar because I know going in that I’m going to love it, and coming out I always do. Wonderful is the company that always has me walking out of the theater feeling like I’ve just seen the best movie ever. Even if it’s not really true, that’s the feeling these creators give you. Toy Story 3 is no exception. We caught it in 3D and Imax yesterday and easily went through a box of Kleenex.
Pixar Disappoints?
Posted on April 23rd, 2010 by
I could be wrong but the just announced slate from Pixar/Disney has me a bit apprehensive. I like Pixar because I never know what the next movie will BE! It’s always a surprise. Something new and risky. So, what’s coming soonish? Will it be insanely creative like Up or Monsters Inc? Will it be fun and simple like A Bugs Life and Cars? Will it be amazingly beautiful and artistic like Ratatouille, Finding Nemo and Wall-E? Will it be a load of just plain fun, Incredibles? Will it be comfortable? Toy Story 1 & 2? This summer we get Toy Story 3, then Cars 2, then Monsters Inc., 2, somewhere around then we get a remake of Winnie the Pooh and a Muppet Movie (those are through Disney). The only original film seems to be about a Bear & a Bow and that’s just putting that Disney bear cartoon – the one that wasn’t bad – in my head. Where’s the risk? Come on Pixar, don’t give up clearing the path. You’re not about exploiting your IPs.
Game Review: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (DS)
Posted on February 13th, 2010 by
Percy is a troubled kid who just can’t seem to fit in. But there’s a reason for that. One day, the creatures from Greek Mythology that Percy is studying come to life! Turns out that Percy is actually the son of Poseidon, Greek god of the sea. Someone has stolen Zeus’ lightning bolt, and Percy is to blame! Now the boy must use his new demi-god powers and rely on his newfound friends to save Mount Olympus and the world. Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief for Nintendo DS is an RPG based on the popular book and recently released movie of the same name.
Best Animated Film
Posted on November 16th, 2009 by
The Academy has released their noms for Best Animated Feature – usually this came down to a no-brainer. Pixar wins! Except for the year when Shrek beat Monster’s Inc (which is a fact that grows more absurd each year), this has been Pixar’s main category. This year is different. This year there’s lots of competition.
