Movie review of Napoleon Dynamite.

I’ve had the movie on DVD for a very long time but never got around to watching it. When the animated series was announced, that prompted me to finally give it a shot but I downloaded a 720p version to watch instead. As it begins, you wonder what the hell is going on because, really, nothing happens of significance. It’s a small cast of characters based in a small town. The story revolves around Napoleon, culminating in Pedro running for class president. The cast of main characters are unique in their own way.

You have Uncle Rico who’s all about get rich quick schemes and living in his football past. Kip Dynamite hooks up with girls in chat rooms. Deb is a glamour photographer. And Napoleon and Pedro don’t have much of anything going on. They just do whatever. The title character may get all the attention but I

Movie review of The Darkest Hour 3D.

The beauty of going to see this was that I was the only person in the auditorium and that rarely happens. The downside was that it was freezing cold in the auditorium. The upside of that was I had on appropriate clothing due to the weather outside being cold too. Talk about wasting energy. It’s the heat that should be on, not the air conditioning. I hopped over to see this after seeing The Devil Inside. The credits for that movie are very slow and gave me time to kill. The rowdy bunch that went to see it left that auditorium in disarray and the usher asked over his radio if anyone could come and help. The prescreen for it ended around 8:45pm and he said the actual premiere was in 15 minutes so he needed to get the place ready for showtime. I was sitting there tweeting and

Movie review of The Devil Inside.

I hadn’t been to the movies in almost a month and Gofobo was showing this online as an open screening. When they go into that status, I check it routinely because it may say open but that doesn’t mean tickets are actually available. After a few days, some finally did become available and I got 2. I announced that I had an extra ticket but no one contacted me to go so I changed it to one ticket for myself. It was playing at the Regal Cinemas in Winter Park at 7:30pm. I got there around 5:30pm after stopping for some take-out at Bubbalou’s on Lee Road. The line wasn’t out the door and the movie theater employee let me bring my food in with me while I waited. I did make a mess while eating some collard greens but I clean up after myself.

I made sure my
