He Said:
I am a fan of Harry Potter, but it really just stems from the movies. I have not read the books. I was really impressed overall with the Harry Potter series. Honestly, I wasn’t a fan of the last movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. (My favorite part of that movie was the story of the Deathly Hallows. The rest of it was almost boring in some parts). Needless to say, it wasn’t going to be hard to exceed my expectations for the final movie, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

Tron: Legacy
by Shannon and Michael July 15th, 2011 | Action, Drama, Movie Reviews, Sci-Fi
He Said:
If you've never seen the original Tron, its story is centered around a brilliant programmer named Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) who created some of the most popular video games ever made while working at a company named Encom. Another programmer, Dillinger, steals his work and has Flynn fired. Flynn tries to hack into Encom to obtain evidence exposing the truth, but Dillinger’s evil Master Control Program (or MCP) thwarts his attempts by pulling Flynn into the digital world via a laser device in order to kill him on the computer’s gaming grid.

“Few Dollars More”: Rosetta Stone of Gritty Westerns
by Dennis Mayer July 8th, 2011 | Action, Drama, Movie Reviews
Sergio Leone is credited with inventing the Spaghetti western - that gritty, realistic take on cowboy movies - with A Fistful of Dollars. This is the first of his Man with No Name trilogy, starring Clint Eastwood as a stoic, amoral bounty-hunting antihero, and it introduced many of the stylistic touches that Leone's later movies would perfect - the use of arid Spanish desert towns as a stand-in for the old West, the sun-scorched local extras lending each shot an authentic touch, the score mixing quiet moments with orchestral thunder punctuated by reverb-heavy electric guitar and "authentic" Western instruments
Larry Crowne
by Shannon and Michael July 6th, 2011 | Drama, Movie Reviews
He Said:
Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks) is an almost dorky, middle-aged man who spent twenty of his younger years in the Navy as a cook instead of going to college. Larry is found working for a large store similar to a Walmart or a Target and shows great enthusiasm for his job, which is apparent by the numerous times he was elected Employee of the Month. Thinking he will receive the title of Employee of the Month again, Larry is called in to meet with his superiors only to find that he's being fired because he has no

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

He Said:
If you're unfamiliar with the Transformers, essentially they are a robotic race originally from the planet Cybertron with two opposing factions; the Autobots and the Decepticons. The Decepticons continuously try to gain control and world dominance while the Autobots fight them to keep the peace.
In Transformers: Dark of the Moon, we are led to believe that the Apollo landing on the moon was really a secret mission to obtain information about a mysterious ship that crashed there. This ends up being an Autobot ship with a secret device for cargo that was supposed to turn the
