Early Halloween Bash

Posted by Mark | Filed under Life, Movies

This evening after work Ariesna and I headed up to the World The­ater in Cedar Rapids to attend an early Hal­loween Party. Err… that’s not strictly true.

Review: Innocence

Posted by Mark | Filed under Movies, Reviews

Whew! Ariesna & I just got back from watch­ing Ghost in the Shell 2 — Inno­cence. Unfor­tu­nately, it was play­ing at what’s arguably the worst the­ater in town but that’s a topic for another day. This is one movie that I’m going to have to rewatch a few times before I get a real handle […]

Movie Review: The Bourne Supremacy

Posted by Mark | Filed under Movies

This after­noon Ariesna and I went out to see The Bourne Supremacy. As I expected it was mostly a fast paced action movie with just a hint of drama tossed in to spice things up. Was it good? Well… it would have been bet­ter if they didn’t use such jerky cam­era work for the action […]
