Wild Hogs

Posted to Adventure, Comedy, Family on July 14th, 2007 by Chad Everett

The Wild Hogs of the title aren’t exactly a biker gang. They just pretend to be one on weekends and for the occasional ride during the week. But Doug (Tim Allen) and his crew have all hit something of a milestone. Actually, it’s a mid-life crisis. Just don’t tell them that.

So one day on their ride they decide that they are ready to take a real ride. A cross-country ride. And what a ride it will be, with the wind in their hair (or what hair they have left, at any rate) and a real chance at freedom.

Serenity

Posted to Science Fiction on September 11th, 2006 by Chad Everett

This movie, based on the Firefly series, surrounds a psychic named River, who was imprisoned as the alliance tried to suppress her knowledge of certain events. Unfortunately her brother walked into the facility and broke her out. Along the way, they meet up with the crew of Serenity, who are naturally not friendly with the authorities, and thus begins the adventure.

The band of brigands aboard Serenity have no idea what secret River is holding, nor do they know what secret she herself is hiding – mostly because she doesn’t seem to know.

About Celluloid Heroes

Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.

As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have anything to do directly with the movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars, and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often.
