Movie Review – Black and White

January 30, 2015

Grade: B I’m not sure what director Mike Binder wants the audience to take away from this film. I didn’t view it as a racially motivated movie; it’s more of a family drama. The writing and directing are spot on, and the cast was excellent. I would love to see Kevin Costner get at the […]

Movie Review – Rush

September 19, 2013

Ron Howard is the master of recreating history into an entertaining movie. He did it best with Apollo 13 — yes, that’s a true story for those who didn’t already know — but Rush is nearly as good. I’m a bigger space exploration fan than a racing fan. Either way, Rush is a compelling story […]

Movie Review – Paranoia

August 19, 2013

All in all, Paranoia was a fun little flick. It wasn’t an awesome movie but it didn’t suck. The storyline moved along really quickly, the people were pretty, and the clothes were awesome. Even the houses and cars were beautiful. It’s a superficial movie with a totally unbelievable plot. The acting was okay. I’m a […]

Movie Review – Jobs

August 19, 2013

I went into this movie not knowing anything about Steve Jobs except that he had something to do with Apple. This really isn’t my kind of movie. It made me super sad. I had no idea he was such a mental case. Ashton Kutcher did a great job. I was expecting Weldon from Two and […]

Movie Review – The Butler

August 19, 2013

I see about 70 movies per year and rarely do I see the audience stand up and applaud at the end of a movie. The Butler was worthy of the applause. Forrest Whitaker as Cecil Gaines was as good – or even better – than he was in The Last King Of Scotland. Oprah Winfrey […]

Movie Review – Elysium

August 19, 2013

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a huge scifi fan. That means I’m really hard on scifi movies. They have to be outstanding for me to give them a good rating. Unfortunately Elysium orbits a long, LONG, way from outstanding. If you’re not a particularly big scifi fan then you may not notice the plot […]

Movie Review – The Place Beyond the Pines

April 19, 2013

This movie is interesting because of its non-traditional structure. It interconnects the story of two flawed men, and examines how their actions affect their sons. Ryan Gosling gives a sparse, electric performance. It’s so good, in fact, that I almost wish the story had stayed focused on Luke. But this story, like life, moves forward, […]

Movie Review – The Big Wedding

April 19, 2013

Wedding movies are a dime a dozen. There isn’t anything new or original in The Big Wedding. The families are dysfunctional on both sides of the aisle, and of course the priest has his own personal baggage. The all star cast didn’t exactly bring their A game, but they were funny enough to make me […]

Movie Review – Lincoln – An A+ Presidential Biography

November 16, 2012

Spielberg has given us a three dimensional insight into the last few months of our most beloved leader. In Lincoln we see him not only as the President during the most difficult time in our nation’s history, but also in an equally demanding role as husband and father. Make no mistake, this is not a […]

Movie review: Breaking Dawn – Part 2

November 15, 2012

Epic ending to an epic saga! I enjoyed the other movies but I loved this one. Luckily I got to see the midnight showing. Personally I love these crowds. When something crazy goes down on the screen the midnighters have something to say about it. The theater was roaring during the final twenty minutes of […]
