What kind of Blog is this?

I decided to combine two activities, getting in shape on the elliptical machine (hence the title of the blog) and watching movies on my tablet device. What a perfect world! I am a really big fan of the movies and love all genres. You will see discussions on Sci-Fi, Horror, Historical, Romance, Comedy, Drama, Classics, and so on. Watching a movie instantly makes the hour spent working out simply fly by! I have decided to watch movies that I am interested in and then discuss how I enjoyed the movie. Hard to really call it a review seeing that most of the movies have already been released nationally. I will rate each on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being the best). Most of the movies that I discuss will be movies that appear on Cable TV. So if you were hesitant about watching a particular movie, you can utilize my commentary before you sit down and watch.

Texas Killing Fields



This mystery is based loosely on true facts surrounding a murder spree in Texas.  The story opens with two detectives called to the site of a murder in Texas City, Texas.  Detective Brian Heigh (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Detective Mike Souder (Sam Worthington) discover that the body of this young girl is somehow connected the disappearance of another young woman whose car lies on the outskirts of the Texas fields, an area that happens to lie outside Heigh's and Souder's jurisdiction but also happens to be the area that Souder's ex-wife Detective Pam Stall works.  She calls to Brian for additional help, but meets resistance from Souder because he truly believes that their case has no correlation to the other. 


Throw into the mix a troubled young girl played by Chloe Grace Moretz and you have a interesting scenario.  The movie was pretty good, but they did drop the ball on one scenario.  When you have multiple story lines running in a film, you have to make certain that you finish them out.  In this film they leave you hanging with one scenario.


I give it a 7 out of 10.


Next up is "Sexting."
