Movie review: The Words
—
Grade: C- I enjoyed this movie up until the ending. They gave it a cutesy twist and not in a good way. As I was exiting the theater most people were muttering words that are not fit to display here. The acting was good but there were no challenging aspects for any of the characters.

Movie review: The Odd Life of Timothy Green
—
Grade: B+ I’ve read a few reviews about this movie calling it too sentimental too saccharine and not realistic at all. Well…that’s why I saw this movie rather than The Expendables. I didn’t want to see things get blown up in my face. I have no hankering for blood baths. I *wanted* to see humankind…

Movie Review – 42
42 is a two hour history lesson that should be watched by every American, especially children.

Chadwick Boseman does an excellent job of capturing Robinson’s style both on and off the…

Movie review : Crazy Heart

Crazy Heart Buy the soundtrack for Crazy Heart Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon [ No spoilers ] For most people, if asked to name a Jeff Bridges movie, more than half would say Starman. I’ve always felt that it was his best role. Until today. Jeff Bridges as Bad Blake, a wash-up, alcoholic country…
