Movie Review – Man of Steel
—
Man of Steel is a fast-paced visual feast that is supported by great actors. Even when the premise feels a bit flimsy, the actors convincingly sell the story to the audience. Much of the film is told in flashbacks, when Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) is a boy/teen, giving the audience a window into how difficult…

After Earth – movie review
—
Grade: F [ A few spoilers but nothing you don’t learn in the first 3 minutes of the movie’s narration. ] I would like to say that After Earth is a movie worth watching. I’m a huge fan of Will Smith and believe him to be one of the most talented all-round actors in Hollywood,…

Star Trek Into Darkness – movie review [ no spoilers ]
—
Grade: A Let me start by going over the things that I DIDN’T love…Okay, now that we have that out of the way. I’m not kidding. Based on one viewing there’s nothing about this movie I didn’t love. Visuals – Yes, by all means you MUST SEE IN IMAX 3D. I usually avoid 3D movies…

The Great Gatsby – movie review
—
Grade: C+ Let me start of by saying I haven’t read the book. I know, I know, it’s required reading for practically every high school student. I must have been sick that day. It’s difficult to give this move a single overall grade because some aspects were pretty good while others were…not so much. Lets…

Iron Man 3 – movie review
—
Grade: B- There is a lot to like about Iron Man 3, but, speaking for myself, not a lot to love. Where it falls short is that there’s never a moment where I feel that Iron Man won’t survive and save the day. Of course they’re not going to kill of Iron Man in a…

Movie Review – The Place Beyond the Pines
—
This movie is interesting because of its non-traditional structure. It interconnects the story of two flawed men, and examines how their actions affect their sons. Ryan Gosling gives a sparse, electric performance. It’s so good, in fact, that I almost wish the story had stayed focused on Luke. But this story, like life, moves forward,…

G.I. Joe: Retaliation – movie review
—
Grade: D- If you’re a big G.I. Joe fan and you know all the characters and their relationships to each other then you might like this movie. But I’m not a G.I. Joe fan and I don’t know anything about the universe so a large portion of the movie was confusing to me. It was…

Movie Review – Olympus Has Fallen
—
Olympus has Fallen is a lot like Die Hard in the White House. It is by no means as good, but it’s still an entertaining and action packed movie. Movie critics are split on their reviews, but the audience ratings are pretty solid in the “like it” category. The theater was nearly packed last night…

Olympus has Fallen – movie review

Grade: B+ “Olympus has Fallen” is a lot like “Die Hard” in the White House. It is by no means as good but it’s still an entertaining and action packed movie. ( When I say “Die Hard” I’m talking about the original movie and not the latest release in the series. ) Movie critics are…
