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.

Tower Heist


With the roster of actors starring in this film, I thought it would be comedy gold; despite hearing the reviews that it received when it was initially released in 2011.  I was horribly disappointed.  With the heavy hitters of comedy from Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy and Matthew Broderick, my hopes were high.... maybe the critics were mistaken, maybe I would still enjoy it, maybe.... well it is a pure comic flop.

The gist of the movie, a group of devoted employees of one of the priciest residential locations in New York have been wronged by the penthouse tenant.  Bernie Maddox wronged.  They decided to exact their revenge by robbing him blind and getting their pensions back.  Trying to accomplish this on Thanksgiving Day during the Macy's Parade.
Just was disappointed by the entire film.  It is a definite skip.

I give it a 1 out of 10.

Next up is "A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas."
