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.

Crush (2009)


This is an Australian film about an American student Julian (Christopher Egan), studying abroad in Australia so that he can compete in Martial Arts competitions.  He is your typical handsome guy, great group of supportive friends and a beautiful Aussie girlfriend.  From time to time, he works as a house sitter and before a big fight, he is asked to sit at a wonderfully large estate while the family is away for three months.

While there he meets a mysterious and beautiful young woman named Anna (Emma Lung), who Julian believes is the owner's niece stopping by to use the pool.  He is immediately drawn to the beauty who is the opposite of his girlfriend, but soon things get carried away and he finds himself spiraling out of control.  Then the movie makes such a sharp left turn in another direction, I had to actually rewind just to make sure that there was a proper lead in, there was not.  So I have to say, I was pretty disappointed.

I give it a 3 out of 10.

Next up is "The Green Hornet."
