Dad spends a night in the mancave: Killer Elite

Some say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result.  If that’s the case then I’m crazy for Jason Statham.  I watch his movies and most of them since The Transporter have been bad.  Just when I was about to lump Statham in a pile with all my old JCVD tapes he goes out and stars in a great movie for him.  Continue reading Dad spends a night in the mancave: Killer Elite

John Carter is escapist, sci-fi fun that’s good for the family

From the preview that I saw I had already written the review to John Carter in my mind.  I had heard the negative hype on the movie and some of the trailers didn’t look engaging.  Actually going to ‘see’ the movie was kind of an afterthought and a good excuse to get me out of the house.  About ¼ of the way through John Carter I was eating crow, fully engrossed in the film and loving every minute of it. Continue reading John Carter is escapist, sci-fi fun that’s good for the family

The new Van Halen could easily be called 1986-in a good way

Guys of a certain age grew up with Van Halen.  Sure ‘Van Halen’ put out music after 1984, but it never had the same flair.  Van Halen’s music always danced a line between playful, menacing and sinister.  You wanted to believe that the four of them were great friends, but after 1984 you realized that they were just a band.

Act of Valor is an enjoyable, unique, taut action movie

Act of Valor is an action film that features active duty Navy SEALs.  I had been following the previews and press for the film ever since I heard about its production.  Yeah, it could be a gimmicky thing to cast real Navy SEALs instead of actors, but the action that they showed in the trailers looked very tight.  While not perfect, Act of Valor was entertaining and authentic. Continue reading Act of Valor is an enjoyable, unique, taut action movie

Dad spends a night in the mancave: Rise of the Planet of the Apes

I love my wife.   Having said that, it’s good to watch a movie when she’s not around; no judgments- just me, beer, cats on the sofa and dogs by the fireplace.  On this occasion I finally got around to watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Continue reading Dad spends a night in the mancave: Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Satellite TV, the family and valuable Mancave time

When you live on your own, watching TV is possibly the easiest thing in the world. Not only does it require no effort, but you don’t have to share it with anybody, not that I’m bad with sharing or anything.  I like to watch TV, so when I was approached by Satellite TV to write a post on it and the family it was a natural fit.   On your own, the TV is 100% your domain and you’re free to watch any shows or movies you want to.  That’s one reason why I like doing the Mancave movies so much; I don’t have to worry about whether they are enjoyable or appropriate for anyone else.
