Bart's Movie Review

A curious Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, journeys to the Lonely Mountain with a vigorous group of Dwarves to reclaim a treasure stolen from them by the dragon Smaug.

I really enjoyed this movie, not simply just for the fact that I read the book, but also for me it "Brought the Lord of the Rings experience "Full Circle"  for those who have not yet viewed the "Lord of the Ring's Trilogy" I won't say any more than that so as not to spoil it.

The Only slight thing that I disliked, was that some parts, mainly in the beginning, were a little" slow-sided," But other than that it was great.

Bart's Space Movie Review

A jaded former jockey helps a young girl prepare a wild but gifted horse for England's Grand National Sweepstakes. 

I thought this Movie was pretty decent fare with a solid, but semi-predictable story coupled with acting that for it's time was tolerable and cute, but living in the 20th century, for me it was like eating an "Overly Syrupy pancake" in that it was "TOO LACED WITH SUGARY SWEETNESS IT WAS ALMOST GAG WORTHY."

So Overall if you want to travel back to a simpler time and don't want a "Plot Heavy Movie" than this is the film for you.

Overall Rating   3/5 Stars

Bart's Space Movie Review

In a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman is ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen.

I thought this was an "Ok" version of the Snow White tale, It just was very dark and as I've said in past reviews, isn't there enough evil in the world already? Why to we have to make it worse by making a classic Children's tale into somthing that it really shouldn't be. Which Is why I prefer "Mirror, Mirror" and the original Walt Disney classic over this hands down.

Bart's Space Movie Review 2/5 ’ Stars I guess this was made more for adults than kids and I guess that makes me a kid in an adult's body.

Hey Everyone,

I'm Back from Fairview and BOY WHAT A TIME I HAD, First off I actually got to truly test drive the Can-am Comander and I can't begin to say enough about this Machine.

The Bucket seats were very comfortable and I could last all day, where as in the Razor and Rhino I would be aching by the end of the ride also the seating is tilted back which is  more like  a car, thus elevating the pressure in my tailbone.

It has two hand holds, a bar on the dash and a stick on the console and that made me feel very secure and comfortable as well as side netting.

and finally the Most important POWER and TORQUE It had excellent low range for four wheeling and High gear for more of a RALLY RACING STYLE for handling the switch backed trails. Probably the most fun part for me was the SPEED when we were coming  into town after the saturday afternoon run we had it up to 72mph!!!

But it actually tops out at 80mph.

So as far as side-by-side's go this is the one I would choose for all around comfort and all around fun CAN-AM COMMANDER IS #1

we also took it off some pretty Big Jumps and at one point my Uncle Mike said we had all four tires off the ground, TALK ABOUT MAJOR AIRTIME.

I also saw some of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FALL COLORS I'VE EVER SEEN, I MEAN THE RED AND ORANGE LEAVES WERE SO BRIGHT YOU  ALMOST NEEDED SUNGLASSES TO LOOK AT THEM.

Now on to the animals I saw a total of 5 deer and 6 or seven TURKEYS, THAT'S RIGHT TURKEYS!!! WE COULD'VE HAD A THANKSGIVING FEAST RIGHT THERE, AND THERE I WAS WITHOUT MY CRANBERRY SAUCE DARN IT!!!

I also went on my first actual "NIGHT RUN" which made for a totally different experience, But with the Commander's AMAZING HEADLIGHTS THE VISIBILITY WAS EXCELLENT!!!

The food and company WAS AMAZING AS WE HAD PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE RIGDON CLAN DOWN THIS TIME, minus a few kids.

So in my humble oppion IT WAS THE BEST TRIP YET!!! CAN'T WAIT UNTIL BARTMAN IN FAIRVIEW 2013!!!! RIGDON'S ROCK!!!

THANKS TO UNCLE MIKE AND EVERYONE FOR MAKING THIS TRIP POSSIBLE.

Bart's Movie Review

Pirate Captain sets out on a mission to defeat his rivals Black Bellamy and Cutlass Liz for the " Pirate of the year Award."

I thought this was another Rousing and Swashbuckling adventure from the talented filmmakers of Aardman Entertainment.
 It had Jokes that were very humorous, But you had to pay pretty close attention otherwise you might miss them, which to me was the only slight downside to this  entertaing farce.
I also thought the sets and voice cast were wonderful as well.
Overall Rating 4/5 Stars

Johnny English goes up against international assassins hunting down the Chinese premier.


I thought this movie was a very funny second installment in the "Johnny English Movie duo. I do have to say that if your not a "Bean fan" or into 007 then this might come off as a bit of a head-scratcher, But for me it was great!!!

Eight years on, a new terrorist leader, Bane, overwhelms Gotham's finest, and the Dark Knight resurfaces to protect a city that has branded him an enemy.

I thought this movie was a little slow to build up to the action at first, but once it got going It was very intense. I thought the new Villain Bane was one of the darkest villains I've ever encountered.


I also really enjoyed Ann Hathaway's performance as Catwoman it was a nice revamp on the Semi-campy performance of Pfeiffer.


Now on to Alfred, Michael Cain's  performance was much deeper than  the other films in that he felt more like a parent rather than just merely trying to Shelter and feed Wane.


 on to the vehicles........psych!!!! I'm not going tell, cause that might Spoil the movie.


It's just an Incredible film, that dropped my jaw and left me yearning for more, which to me is exactly what a film should do.


Overall rating  4/5 Stars  "Amazing in Imax!!!"
