Cage goes in the water, you go in the water, shark's in the water...

Fact: "Jaws" won the Academy Award
for Best Movie Ever Made.

Jaws (1977) starring Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss & Robert Shaw.

"Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down the pond chasin' bluegills and tommycods. This shark, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's just too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing." - Quint

What don't you f**king understand

Terminator Salvation (2009) starring Christian Bale and his Batman voice with some other people.

Lesson learned from this flick... don't get in a helicopter John Connor is flying. It WILL crash.

Do you remember

The Last Airbender (2010) starring the kid from Slumdog Millionaire and a vampire from Twilight.

The Last Airbender wasn't as bad as "they" said it was. Maybe that's because I had no prior knowledge of anything the movie is based on, who knows?

Anyway, "Benders" can control the elements while kung fu-ing people, so that's cool. You've got your various peoples of the Water Nation, Earth Nation, Fire Nation and finally the last of the Air Nation people.

When they all work together it looks a little something like this...

2 Paranormal 2 Furious

Paranormal Activity 2 (2010) starring nobody you've ever heard of and a German Shepherd.

Um, yeah, this one was actually a little disturbing. I don't really have much to say other than it freaked us both out a little. It was one of those movies where... hang on... I'll finish this up in a minute, I just heard a strange sound in the attic...

Dear Home Theater, I'm sorry

Piranha 3D (2010) starring a bunch of people who should be embarrassed.

The working title of the movie was probably “Tits Doing Stuff”. Dancing tits, Underwater tits, Para-sailing tits, Cocaine tits, Piranha attacked tits... you name it.  Seriously, boobs everywhere. I guess if you’re not a fan of those you’ll be left with nothing.

p.s. - Richard Dreyfuss. WTF? What were you doing in this movie? Did you need a new car?

Julia Roberts likes spaghetti

Eat, Pray, Love (2010) starring Julia Roberts and some other people.

Eat, Pray, Love? More like Eat, Pray, LONG. How long does it really take to tell a story about a woman who eats, travels and meets people after a divorce? Two hours and twenty minutes apparently. I kind of expected Frodo and Sam to wander through the background at some point on their way to Mordor.

That said, it wasn't bad.

By the way, Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Same guy? You decide…

Do you believe in miracles?

Miracle (2004) starring Kurt Russell and some other people.

 

The movie Sarah and I saw on our first date is also the first movie we watched in our new home theater. How cute, right? It’s the story of the gold medal-winning 1980 U.S. Men’s Olympic Hockey Team, specifically “The Miracle on Ice” win against the Russians.

Although, even the U.S. Olympic win over the unbeatable Russians couldn’t end the Cold War. It would take Sylvester Stallone another 5 years to accomplish that.

An Introduction

My name is Jeff and I like movies. You probably already knew that though, so let me just say that my basement project is finished! Well, I still need to put the handrail for the stairs back up but whatever...


After what feels like 4 years of construction (but was actually only one year and a few months) my "dream" basement home theater is complete. 82" HDTV, PS3/Blu-ray player, Xbox 360, digital surround sound and a reclining theater style sofa complete with armrests and cupholders. Oh yeah, overhead lighting on remote control too because this is America and the light switch is way over there.


You did read that correctly, the TV is 82 diagonal inches of big screen goodness. Some might ask, "Why do you need a TV that huge?" Those people are morons. Just sayin'.


Now that I can finally enjoy all of the hard work it took to get here, I'm blogging about my movie watchin'. When my wife Sarah and I watch a movie, I'll post some comments about it. I'm not going to review them, that's a job for guys with writing talent and motivation. You'll see.


Let the good times roll...
