At the Movies with Fatwayne

Wow! Let me say it again, WOW!! I was totally blown away by this movie which I saw in IMAX 3D. It was two and one half hours of jaw dropping excitement. A magical planet with magical creatures and plant life not to mention the 10 foot tall humanoid inhabitants replete with tails (Na’vi). This was [...]

Invictus, Latin for “unconquered” best describes Nelson Mandela’s mindset as he languished in a South African prison. After spending decades in the Robben Island prison, Mandela (Morgan Freeman) is released in 1990 and four years later is elected President of South Africa. His goal was to bring an end to apartheid or “apartness” which was the official [...]

Nicolas Cage, New Orleans – sounds too good to pass up! For Cage’s part, he turns into a pathetic excuse for a police officer who will do anything for his hooker girlfriend, Frankie (Eva Mendes) including satisfying her drug habit as well as his own.

That’s right, it was all of these things and not much more. I saw two people walk out of the matinee as a result of the unrelenting gloom proffered by this story [...]

This movie premiered to a host of negative reviews. Well, here I go again, swimming against the current! I laughed out loud several times and, overall, had a grand old time. John Travolta and Robin Williams happen to be two of my favorite actors and when you throw Kelly Preston and Ann Margaret into the mix, [...]

If it were possible, someone should capture one of these Ninjas and study him in a laboratory! These guys can do it all! Invisibility, the ability of heal gaping wounds, agility beyond imagination that enables them to twist and leap into the air defying gravity. They are the real deal – or so we are asked [...]
