Tron: Legacy (of awesomeness)

When I saw Tron: Legacy , I couldn't remember the last time I saw the first Tron . I could only vaguely remember the blue circuit motorcycles, Jeff Bridges, and those goofy glowing helmets. I also remember that it was a very long, strange, and even sometimes arduous movie. (What were those guys smoking back in the early 80s???) The first Tron came out in the early 80's. However, for all its weirdness, it was ahead of its time. Now, we are in 2011. The new Tron begins by explaining that Kevin Flynn, (Jeff Bridges) CEO of the software company that, among other things, created the video game "Tron", mysteriously disappeared in '89. he left behind a sprawling publicly traded software empire, and a very broken-hearted twelve year old son. His son, Sam Flynn, grows up without a father. He pretends like he's over it, but we know it consumes him. He avoids responsibility with the software company because he's "immature". But really, it's because ...

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon

my rating: 2.5 out of 5 Right now, as I type this, my head is pounding and my ears are ringing. I just got assaulted by the new epic blockbuster Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon . Michael Bay is known for over-the-top, in-your-face movies that are way bigger than life. Out of all his movies, Dark of the Moon is the biggest, loudest, longest, most obnoxious 2.5 hours of movie sensory blitz he's ever done. This is the bad news and the good news, rolled into one. On one hand, the good news is this movie has the best special effects of any movie ever made. The bar of special effects for Hollywood movies is so high these days that the effects are absolutely mind-blowing. Seeing this movie in 3D made me feel like I was hurtling through outer space in some scenes. The human characters looked great in super detailed 3D splendor, as well. The action scenes are more coherent than past Transformers flicks, too. You can actually kind of follow what's happening visually. The down side is...

I have long been fascinated by American Presidents. Many of them experience incredible rises to success and political glory, while others almost fall into it by circumstance. Presidents have an incredible amount of power, and they affect long-term widespread change in the country. We are still affected today in the U.S. by decisions made by Presidents over 200 years ago. Anyone who becomes President instantly becomes a historical figure, for better or worse. While Hollywood does not have a track record of particularly shining when it comes to dealing with real-life Presidents, there are still some great gems of movies out there. I have compiled a list of my all-time favorite movies about Presidents. I have omitted any movies about fictional Presidents (I guess that would be a different list entirely!) and instead focused on the real deals. These movies are, in my opinion, fair, educational, and entertaining. They are great starting points if you want to study or learn about Presidents...
