Earth To Echo – movie review
—
Grade: C+ If it wasn’t obvious from the previews “Earth To Echo” is essentially a retelling of “ET”. But I’m pretty sure it won’t be remembered as one of the classics. This is definitely a kids movie. There’s not much for adults to cling to. The story centers around the close friendship of three boys…

Transformers: Age of Extinction, movie review
—
Grade: B- There’s not a lot to say about Transformers: Age of Extinction. (TAOE) It’s a Transformers movie with bits of awesome, a dash of humor, and loads of plot holes. But as we’ve seen before, Transformers can effortlessly jump over plot holes. When comparing TAOE with the other Transformer movies I’d have to put…

Vibration tips
—
in RunPee FAQsLet me start by explaining that the RunPee app can only suggest that the phone vibrate. The operating system – whether it’s iOS or Android – decides if the phone will actually vibrate based on the phone’s state and the vibration settings. Let’s start by going to the “Timer Help” screen – press the button at…

Movie Review – Edge of Tomorrow (Live. Die. Repeat.)
I love Groundhog Day stories and I’ve been looking forward to this movie since the first time I saw the previews. I was *hoping* it would rank as one of the classic Sci-Fi movies. However, I expected it would just be a good movie that might be worth rewatching again a year from now. I…

Maleficent – movie review
—
Grade: B- After seeing what Maleficent – Angelina Jolie – looked like in the previews I had hopes this was going to be a strictly adult oriented movie. That’s not the case. The movie, especially the first 30 minutes, is very much oriented toward children. There is a frequent voice over that tells us what’s…

X-Men: Days of Future Past – movie review
—
Grade: A Brian Singer (director), and the writers, set the bar sky high in this film. It’s going to be a chore to top this in the scheduled X-Men sequel, due May 27, 2016. The acting was spectacular. All the main characters are reprising roles that they have already performed with aplomb. However, I think Hugh…

Million Dollar Arm
—
Grade: B- Million Dollar Arm was a good movie, but I doubt anyone’s going to put it on their list of favorite inspirational sports movies. The performances were all solid. John Hamm especially stood out, which is good since he’s the main character. He does a good job with his expressions saying more than his…

Movie Review – Godzilla (2014) – This Godzilla Should Have Been Better
Let me say up front that I enjoyed Godzilla. The movie rolled along at a decent pace and had a few good visual scenes. And I think the creators did a decent job of bridging the classic feel of the Godzilla movies with modern movie making. That said, I thought the movie fell way short…
