Movie review: The Cold Light of Day
—
Grade: D *Cold Light of Day* currently has a 10% at RottenTomatoes.com. The good news is it isn’t all that bad. It’s certainly not a good movie. But it’s not retched either. The acting is ho-hum. Bruce Willis has little more than a cameo roll in the movie. Sigourney Weaver doesn’t have much more than…

Movie review: Premium Rush
—
I found Premium Rush to be enjoyable and easy to follow, for the most part. I was expecting that the package/information being transported by bike messenger would end up involving some complicated international intrigue but that wasn’t the case at all. It was certainly something important but only to a small number of people. That kept…

Movie review: ParaNorman
—
Grade: B- As usual, I rate an animated movie in accordance to the amount of laughter coming from the audience. There was lots of laughter from the children and a smattering from the adults. The movie was exactly as advertised: a kid who talks to dead people. Everyone thinks he weird except for his parents…

Movie review: The Expendables 2
—
Grade: D+ I really enjoyed the first *Expendables*. It wasn’t a great movie by any means but for an action movie fan it was fun. But it was fun in a serious way. There was good character development in the first *Expendables* and something the resembled a plot. *Expendables 2*? Not so much. It’s campy…

Movie review: Hope Springs
—
Grade: A A charming predictable movie with great dialog and plenty of humor. Meryl and Tommy Lee were great together and believable as a middle aged couple who has lost their spark. In my theater the audience was comprised mainly of senior citizens. ( Hey, I’m in Florida and it was early afternoon.) There were…

Movie Review – The Avengers
—
Fantastic movie. There was never a dull moment. The movie was 2 hours and 13 minutes — without the credits — and you’ll wish it was an hour longer. Joss Whedon managed to pack in a great deal of character development with all the action, without making it seem forced. The action was as good…

Movie review: Dredd 3D
—
Grade: B+ Finally, a movie exceeded my expectations. Dredd was much better than anticipated. Actually, it was better than that because I expected it to suck. It was genuinely enjoyable. Carl Urban is a great Dredd. I like the vision they had for the character. Nothing at all like the Stallone version. The biggest surprise…
