Movie review: Ice Age: Continental Drift
—
Grade: B+ This was the typical Ice Age movie. Lots of slipping and sliding on the ice. Bad guys to deal with and Sid making things harder than they should be. Having said that I still found it entertaining. The animation was pretty to look at and not a waste of my time. The children…

Movie review: Spider-Man
—
Grade: B+ I’ve never been a big Spider-Man fan but I do enjoy my super-hero movies. That said I was never a fan of the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies. They were okay but nothing to get excited about. So I was excited to see a change of direction to see if a reboot might reinvigorate…

Movie review: Ted
—
Grade: A Oh my gosh. I have not laughed that hard at a movie in years. There were side splitting funny scenes. Not just one or two but pretty much the whole movie. Seth MacFarlane did a terrific job. It’s raunchy and dirty but that is what he does best. I wouldn’t let your children…

Movie Review – Abraham Lincoln – Vampire Hunter
—
I am a vampire movie lover, and Abe Lincoln is my favorite president. You put the two together and the sparks fly! I love how the movie integrated real history with Vampire lore. It worked really well together for me. The fight scenes were very well done. Abe can really swing an axe! I would…

Movie review: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
—
“Seeking a Friend for the End of the World” is a classic Steve Carell movie. He plays much the same character that he did in “40 Year Old Virgin”. Keira Knightley was her usual cute, messy self. And there are a few well placed cameos in the movie. It’s hard to say that the acting…

Movie review: That’s My Boy
—
Don’t you hate it when the movie companies release a trailer that contains every funny scene in the movie? You get your hopes up that it’s going to be a hilarious movie only to find out that you’ve already seen all of the funny scenes sitting at home on your couch for free. I was…

Movie review: Hysteria
—
It’s a fun and enjoyable movie that is probably best left as a rental. Tanya Wexler, the director of “Hysteria”, gracefully walked a fine line between humor and obscenity. I’m a big fan of historical period-pieces. As such vI’d give this movie a passing grade only because, from what I’ve learned, they did a good…

Movie review: Prometheus
—
You should know that I’m a HUGE fan of the Aliens universe and have been looking forward to this movie since I first heard about its production. I didn’t think the movie was OMG fantastic but I wasn’t disappointed. And I’m looking forward to watching it a few more times. I have the feeling that…

Movie review: Skyfall
—
Grade: A *Skyfall* is in my estimation the best of the Daniel Craig Bond movies and that’s saying a lot because *Casino Royal* was fabulous. *Skyfall* has all of the ingredients you expect in a Bond film: action, one line quips, flirtation and sex, and lets not forget the evil genius antagonist. In fact the…

Movie review: The Man with the Iron Fists
—
Grade: D+ I thought *The Man with the Iron Fists* was horrible. However, if you’re looking forward to this film then you can take my review with a grain of salt because this isn’t a genre that I’m overly fond of. Not to say that I don’t enjoy any martial arts movies. I thought *Crouching…
