New Release Tuesday

This big,bloated summer movie took a beating from the critics and audiences stayed way.  This movie had tons of issues with bad weather, bad direction, the script, and then the Lone Ranger himself got busted for pot in Texas.  Now with all the bad things I just said about this it is not as bad as the critics or myself would lead you to believe.  The main issues are the movie is way too long and it is too big for itself as most Bruckheimer productions are now a days.  This is a western and the production went way over the top.  This was meant to be a trilogy and this movie actually got in the black with its over seas take but with the critical beating it took this will probably be the only Lone Ranger movie we will get.  So far Lone Rangers movies are 0 for 2 on the big screen.

This is my favorite show on TV right now.  It has a loyal audience and FX has treated the show well by bringing it back as season 5 starts on January 7.  Season 4 changed gears a bit and went with a robbery murder mystery that covered the whole season.  For the record I sniffed this whole thing out about episode 4 and let the all the office watchers know it so I could be proven correct.  Stars Timothy Olyphant and Walter Goggins are fantastic in this and are even better when they are on the screen together.

A good looking sci-fi flick and Matt Damon has a cool haircut.  Why did they cut it off on the cover?

I loved the first one but this came and went quickly at the theater with out much noise.  Look forward to checking this out.

Scream Factory brings us this cool 80's horror movie.   It stars the creepy Klaus Kinski as the son of a Nazi who runs an apartment house for women with secret passage ways in it.  I have not seen this since the late night Cinemax days so I have been looking forward to this title.
