Movie Review – Jack Reacher
Grade: B First off let me say that I have not read any of the *Jack Reacher* books so I can’t say how well they did or didn’t translate the character into the movie. There was very little about the movie not to like. There was only one scene – that I don’t want to…

Movie Review – The Hobbit
It’s such a pleasure to return to Middle-Earth. Peter Jackson and his team have masterfully recreated and expanded the universe according to Tolkien. I know from the production diaries, created during the filming of *The Hobbit*, that the undertaking was massive. Not just in the technical challenges of filming at 48fps IMAX 3D but also…

Movie Review : Hitchcock
—
Grade: C Anthony Hopkins does a wonderful job of impersonating Hitchcock. The makeup crew did a great job with the look and he nailed Hitchcock’s mannerisms and especially his quirky speech patterns. But, in my opinion Helen Mirren is the real star of the show. It’s her performance that lifts the movie up from being…

Movie Review -Silver Linings Playbook
—
Silver Linings Playbook was a grade-A, heartfelt comedy. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence had great chemistry together from the very beginning. Bradley continues to impress that he’s not just another pretty face and Jennifer stepped into her “big girl shoes” for this movie – after what I thought was a rather stiff performance in *Hunger Games*.…

Movie review: Life of Pi
—
Grade: A *Life of Pi* isn’t just an outstanding movie; it’s an outstanding story. Something we see far too infrequently these days in movies. It’s directed by Ang Lee so if you couldn’t tell from the previews it is visually gorgeous. For that reason alone I’d suggest seeing it in a nice big theater. If…

Movie review: The Watch
—
Grade: B Don’t go in expecting an award winning movie with thought provoking dialog. however, *The Watch* is the perfect movie for escaping the summer heat and having more than a few chuckles. There is a lot of bathroom humor but it’s delivered by three very funny men who know how to make you laugh.…

Movie review: The Dark Knight Rises
—
The Dark Knight Rises is an epic spectacle to end an epic trilogy. But is it good? Yes, it is good. But not great. I think everyone was hoping for a legendary movie that would cement Christopher Nolan’s Batman as one of the great movie trilogies of all time. But, in my estimation the series…
