Terminator Salvation

You have just got to love the Terminator movies! Even though they seem to offer “more of the same” they are all entertaining and action packed. This one is no different and if you have enjoyed the preceding movies you should have fun here also. Did I mention action? This movie is jam packed with all [...]

Star Trek

All is well in Fatwayne’s universe – Star Trek is back! And boy, it’s back in a big way! I saw it today in the IMAX format and was totally blown away! I did, however, leave the theater with a slight headache – man was it loud! I have been a fan of Star Trek since [...]

The Soloist

The movie is based on events that occurred in the life of newspaper columnist Steve Lopez (Robert Downey, Jr.) and his chance encounter with a mentally unbalanced street person, Nathanial Ayers (Jamie Foxx). As is usually the case for Steve, he is searching at the last minute for a subject to write his article about. [...]

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

This reminds me of Bill Murray’s movie Scrooged. Here we have a successful photographer, Connor Mead (Matthew McConaughey) who is up to his eyebrows in beautiful models and actresses who all want his “attention”. He is the kind of guy who wants to play the field and really doesn’t believe in love and settling down with [...]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

As stated in previous reviews about the X-Men movies, I am not familiar with the comics from which they originate. I have seen all of the movies and was hoping to have a few things cleared up with Origins. I did not find this to be the case and there are still lingering questions in my [...]

Obsessed

This is pretty much a Fatal Attraction ripoff. Instead of a stellar cast led by Michael Douglas, Glenn Close and Anne Archer we have Idris Elba, Ali Larter and Beyonce Knowles. Don’t get me wrong on this, since I believe that these actors did an admirable job with what they were given. The trouble is [...]

Fighting

You might think that a movie titled FIGHTING would be very gory and violent. The fact is that it is violent anytime two men face off and try to beat each other unconscious or worse. So this is indeed a violent movie but to my relief, it is not gory. How could it be with a [...]

17 Again

Let’s get this out of the way first. Yes, I did enjoy this movie. I found it  funny, entertaining and heartwarming. You seem surprised! I know that this has been done a half dozen times or more where an adult is given the chance to relive their youth. The fact here is that it has [...]

State of Play

Big business, sleazy politicians, murder and corruption are the things we read about every day in the newspapers. This is also the story line of State of Play. Congressman Stephen Collins (Ben Affleck) is the chair of the committee overseeing defense spending and he has an aide who is his lead investigator. In addition to her job she [...]

Observe and Report

I must admit to having mixed emotions about this movie. I went in expecting to see a funny movie like Paul Blart: Mall Cop http://www.tvmoviequotes.com/fatwayne/paul-blart-mall-cop/ but instead I got a little bit of Blart mixed in with a whole lot of black comedy. This is really two movies in one. The first half is very funny [...]
