Movie Review – The Accountant
—
Trigger Warning: Bright flashing lights and loud music in certain sections, which could be a trigger if you’re overly sensitive to stimuli. Guns, murder and blood, as one would expect in an assassin-type thriller. Ben Affleck, as the titular accountant, does a nice job portraying someone with high-functioning Autism. As someone with Autism myself, I’m…

Movie Review – Hidden Figures
—
Hidden Figures is an exciting, feel-good film about lady scientists from the Cold War Era – three brilliant NASA women, who happen to be black. In the Mercury capsule orbital time period, segregation was alive and well…but the movie, based on actual people and events, showcases how much good can be achieved when people…

Movie review : Vampires Suck
—
I actually got the biggest kick out of this movie. Having read all the Twilight books, but somehow missing out on all three movies, might have been a part of it. I thought this light spoof did a great job holding a coherent plot, compressing the huge oeuvre into one hour and 20 minutes, and…

Movie review : The Switch
—
A very cute movie – and also a more grown-up version of a romantic comedy than we are used to seeing. Characters’ actions have consequences; personalities have depth. The Switch hit all the right notes to be a classic. Aniston finally has a vehicle that isn’t embarrassing – she’s fine in this film. And while…

Movie Review – The Other Guys
—
I’m not sure how to rate this movie. It started out brilliant, then lost all steam and comic coherence. The opening sequence with The Rock and Samuel L Jackson spoofing themselves is a wonderful riot. The scenes between Will Ferrell and Mark Walhberg in the NYPD offices have some of the best humor seen this…

Movie review : Sex and the City 2
—
Sex and the City 2 Buy the soundtrack for Sex and the City 2 iTunes Purchase at Amazon Degrading to the characters, embarrassing to behold, this mess should never have gone past the storyboard. The characters are aging slowly downwards into caricatures of their former vivacious selves. Carrie’s sense of verve and fun has left…

Movie review : Letters to Juliet
—
Letters to Juliet Buy the soundtrack for Letters to Juliet iTunes AmamAmazon Amanda Seyfried is adorable, and the travels across Italy are dreamy landscape porn. I adored this movie all out of expectation. A nice date film or girl bonding film, or even to just go see alone. Sometimes a film with minor aspirations just…

Movie review : Furry Vengeance
—
Furry Vengeance Buy the soundtrack for Furry Vengeance iTunes Amazon This was a pretty silly movie, but the kids should like it and the eco-message is very good. Brooke Shields and Brendan Frasier gave it a good go, in a low-budget flick that elicited a few light chuckles here and there from the adults. The…
