Jurassic World – Movie Review
Grade: B+ I have mixed feelings about the movie. The story, and most of the characters, drag the movie down. I’d give that part of the movie a C-, at best. Chris Pratt is definitely a bright spot. He’s perfectly cast for the roll of Owen — the raptor wrangler. He can be funny when…

Movie Review – Pitch Perfect 2
Rarely does a sequel out-shine the original, but such is the case with Pitch Perfect 2. The musical numbers are great, and Fat Amy keeps us laughing. If you liked Perfect Pitch, you’ll love PP2. This is definitely an A movie. Movie Grade: A

Fast and the Furious – Furious 7 Movie Review
I have been waiting on pins and needles for this movie. I am undeniably Paul Walker’s biggest fan. (Based on an extensive poll I conducted during lunch today with my daughter.) I had absolutely no idea how they were going to proceed with his last film. They didn’t disappoint me. It was tastefully done;…

Movie Review – Do You Believe? – A Film to Help You Find Hope
—
I’ll admit I was of the mind-set that I was going to hate this movie and be bored beyond tears. As it happens, I was moved to tears. I’m not a religious person. I didn’t find God in this movie, but what I found was hope for humanity. There are some wonderful people in this…

Movie Review – Black and White
—
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 – John Wick 1
I loved the movie John Wick; it was violent without being gory. What I liked most about the movie was the choreography of the action scenes. I’ve seen my share of action movies and I must say that the action in John Wick is top notch. That shouldn’t come as a surprise, because the directors…

Movie Review – LUCY
—
“Lucy” is like two movies mashed together: one is enjoyable and explores interesting questions; the other is lame and hyper-violent. Rating this movie is a question of how to balance these two. Where this movie really fails is in it’s brevity. Not including the credits it’s only an hour and twenty-two minutes long. That’s far…

Movie Review – 22 Jump Street
I found a lot to love and a lot to dislike about this sequel. What’s to love? Well, it’s still really funny. There are some laugh out loud moments and then there are some throw your head back and cackle moments. Who doesn’t love that? On the flip side, there were some awkward moments that…

Movie Review – Edge of Tomorrow (Live. Die. Repeat.)
I love Groundhog Day stories and I’ve been looking forward to this movie since the first time I saw the previews. I was *hoping* it would rank as one of the classic Sci-Fi movies. However, I expected it would just be a good movie that might be worth rewatching again a year from now. I…
