Dad spends a night in the mancave: Haywire

If there is a void in the mancave movie genre it’s the lack of art and the absence of strong women. Granted that could also be the appeal of mancave movies.   A perfect example of this is The Expendables, which doesn’t pretend to have either of them.    With that void in mind Steven Soderbergh made Haywire, starring MMA superstar Gina Carano.

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

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.

Dad spends a night in the mancave: Captain America

Last year I momentarily got my boxers in a bunch because Captain America was not going to be filmed in the U.S.  The irony of not filming a movie called Captain America not in his namesake could only be distracted by a pregnant wife, crawling baby and work.   Thankfully all three of those things happened to make me realize I didn’t have time to think about where some movie would be filmed.  Continue reading Dad spends a night in the mancave: Captain America

Dad spends a night in the mancave: Thor and X-Men First Class

We had two bits of good news recently.   Mommy Mojo gave birth to More Mojo, which allowed us to spend three nights on the sofa watching mancave movies.  A wife in the hospital recovering from birth can be a blessing if you choose your movies carefully. We chose Thor and X-Men First Class, did we choose wisely? Continue reading Dad spends a night in the mancave: Thor and X-Men First Class

Dad spends a night in the mancave: Hanna

Sometimes I don’t need to watch a movie.  Some previews are so enjoyable and give away major plot points that you don’t need to bother with the time or money to watch the actual movie.    Hanna had a really good trailer and now that it’s available on demand we broke down and rented it.
