Movie Review – Oblivion
—
This film will certainly be enjoyed by die hard sci-fi lovers for its beautiful visuals — it’s particularly wonderful if you see it in IMAX. The dystopian story of an Earth post-alien invasion starts off a little slow, but is intriguing. There’s a genius scene in a swimming pool. Half-way through the movie though, the…

Movie Review – The Lords of Salem
—
The Lords of Salem, written and directed by Rob Zombie, definitely made it to my top 5 list along with Devils Rejects. However, this movie, with Zombie’s morbidly delicious way of thinking, is not going to be for the general public. It was visually assaulting. Rob Zombie imagined the witches as Manson-esque hippies, and very…

Movie Review – Pain & Gain
—
As I’m sure you know, Pain & Gain is based on a true story that took place in Miami, FL in the 90s. Michael Bay took an unfortunately comical event and made a pretty decent movie out of it. Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson were the perfect people for their roles. They’re both serious exercise-aholics,…

Movie Review – The Big Wedding
—
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 – The Croods – Enough Fun and Humor for Adults Too
This is a smart, funny, and colorful movie about a clan of cave people who must travel to unknown territory after their cave was destroyed by plate tectonics. They meet up with a more evolved person — his forehead isn’t sloped — who introduces them to the prehistoric version of shoes, cell phones, sun glasses, and…

Movie review : Texas Chainsaw 3D
—
I was pleasantly surprised with the latest attempt at the Texas Chainsaw phenomenon. Being ruled by the darker side of my personality I find it almost impossible to pass up these movies. I wasn’t expecting much out of this one but I most definitely walked away pleased. Don’t get me wrong..it wasn’t terrific. There were…

Movie review : Parental Guidance
—
Parental Guidance was the perfect choice for a Christmas Day movie. Of course I had to see it for work but since it was Christmas I took my husband and daughter to see it with me. My husband and I are going to be grandparents any day now so this was a super fitting movie.…

Movie Review – Jack Reacher
Grade: B First off let me say that I have not read any of the *Jack Reacher* books so I can’t say how well they did or didn’t translate the character into the movie. There was very little about the movie not to like. There was only one scene – that I don’t want to…

Movie Review – The Hobbit
It’s such a pleasure to return to Middle-Earth. Peter Jackson and his team have masterfully recreated and expanded the universe according to Tolkien. I know from the production diaries, created during the filming of *The Hobbit*, that the undertaking was massive. Not just in the technical challenges of filming at 48fps IMAX 3D but also…
