NSFCCDP Movie Review: Ghost in the Shell (2017)
I picked up Ghost in the Shell as a manga in Tokyo nearly 20 years ago and was blown away. The story of Major Motoko Kusanagi with her friend and subordinate Batou of the cybernetic eyes and her boss Lt … Continue reading
NSFCCDP Movie Review: Logan (2017) – Wolverine’s Last Gasp
It has been a LONG time since I have written a blog entry. It isn’t like I haven’t watched the slew of science fiction and superhero flicks since The Martian, I just was focused elsewhere including writing my own book. … Continue reading
NSFCCDP Movie Review: The Martian (2015) – Pretty good but predictable sci-fi [UPDATED]
Now, I have never claimed to be a big Matt Damon fan, and so I had a bit of reluctance to give him a chance in The Martian. m.poulet and I saw it a few nights ago and I was … Continue reading
NSFCCDP Movie Review: Max Max Fury Road (2015) – Charlize Theron carries this one all the way to the Citadel
There was a lot of buildup for this new installment in the Mad Mad franchise. I recall sneaking into Road Warrior as a kid and being blown away (and frankly scared of being caught). It was probably the first glimpse … Continue reading
Avengers 2 (2015) – Filler before Avengers 3 and 4

Five of us went to the movies last night to watch Christopher Nolan’s latest scifi thriller, Interstellar starring the amazing Matthew McConaughey. As usual, I will avoid any spoilers here. The quality of the cinematography is excellent – on the … Continue reading
NSFCCDP Movie Review: Edge of Tomorrow (2014) – Cruise in yet another SciFi Thriller
m.poulet and I went this week to see the latest Tom Cruise SciFi flick with Emily Blunt – Edge of Tomorrow. While not incredibly original – kind of a mashup of Groundhog Day, Elysium, and District 9 – it was … Continue reading
NSFCCDP Movie Review: Godzilla (2014) – Slow-paced but beautifully shot just missing some charisma
After a long lapse, the NSFCCDP headed out to the cinema this week for the French premier of Godzilla. There were four of us and for once, I was probably the most enthusiastic about the movie. I enjoyed the fact … Continue reading
NSFCCDP Movie Review: Captain America 2 – The Winter Soldier (2014) – Just your average superhero flick
There have been some terrible superhero flicks of late and there have been a few standout good ones. Cap’n USA 2 is pretty much average. The Winter Soldier (our super villain) looked slightly like Bane with the mouthpiece (or even … Continue reading
