The Athletic Nerd Movie News and Opinions

This is a terrible story because I can’t remember what I was searching for but earlier in the week, I was Googling and came across an image from Howard The Duck.

Wow!

Remember Howard The Duck?

Howard The Duck

What a strange, strange movie this was.

Even though I can only remember seeing this movie once when I was much younger, I seem to recall not liking it all that much.

However, I really want to see this movie again.  It’s probably just as terrible as ever but who knows?

Why not give an old movie a second chance?

I’m going to be keeping my eyes on the movie channels and maybe it will pop up someday.  (It’s not like I’ll be buying it.)

I just watched this trailer and wow… What was George Lucas thinking?

Rainy Sundays: Crimson Tide

Rainy Sundays Movie Picks

Crimson Tide is an awesome movie.

If you’re in the mood for an amazing and intense drama, this is definitely a wise choice on a lazy afternoon.

How can you resist watching Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington’s epic battle while facing the unimaginable threat of nuclear war?

Crimson Tide caught me completely off guard when I first saw it.  It’s a memory I look back on fondly.  Sitting at the edge of my seat completely engrossed in the story.  People describe certain movies as white knucklers.  Crimson Tide goes well beyond white knuckles.  It grips your imagination and you’ll be holding your breath before the end.

What I love about the movie is how simple the story really is and how much intensity the filmmakers created regardless.

I pulled out my VHS copy and watched it for the 1083rd time last week.  It’s still an incredible movie.
