Effie Gray – movie review
—
Grade: C Effie Gray was a slow paced Victorian period piece. I would have liked to have seen more Emma Thompson and less of Dakota Fanning looking like a sad whipped puppy. I do enjoy Dakota and loved her in Hound Dog but this movie was not a great vehicle for her angelic face that…

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;…

The Longest Ride – movie review
—
Grade: B The Longest Ride was all in all a pretty good movie. I felt good watching it, I even caught myself smiling throughout the whole thing. It’s a very feel good kind of movie, a real “All American” love story. They took two extremely different things, being bull-riding and art, and mixed the two…

Brotherly Love – movie review
—
Grade: C Brotherly Love was an unremarkable movie — not bad, just entirely forgettable. It skimmed over what could have been a really good story. I found a bunch of plot holes, if it weren’t for those it would have been better. Also, there needed to be more back story. You were introduced to a…

Ex Machina – movie review
—
Grade: A- Ex Machina is essentially a philosophical thriller that examines the state of mind of the characters in the story — all three of them. The acting is superb, and it has to be. What the characters say through their expressions is just as important as what they say audibly. A great deal of…

Little Boy – movie review
—
Grade: B- Little Boy is a little movie with a big heart. It’s a great family movie that teaches us faith, the value of never giving up, and most of all teaches the younger set about the pain and hurtfulness of racism. Children in the 7 to 11 year old range will enjoy Little Boy,…

The Water Diviner – movie review
—
Grade: B WW I history buffs will enjoy this movie ever though it’s not completely historically accurate. Russell Crow did a respectable job directing Water Diviner and the acting was good. While this movie cannot be compared to other epic war dramas, Saving Private Ryan for instance, it does provide the movie goer with a…

Avengers: Age of Ultron – movie review
—
Grade: A+ In case you didn’t know this movie, and all MARVEL movies it seems, came out a week earlier in the UK and many other countries than it does in the USA. (Why? I have no idea.) Anyhow, I downloaded a crappy cam copy so that I could get peetimes for my international users.…

Get Hard – movie review
—
Grade: B+ Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell were both awesome! I was really impressed with how well they played off of each other. This is easily my second favorite Will Ferrell movie, after Step Brother of course. His character was so funny that I missed a bunch of the movie by laughing so hard. Kevin…

Home – movie review
—
Grade: B- The producers of Home did a fine job of giving youngsters a movie with lots of action, movement and funny looking creatures. The story line was just adequate enough to keep the audience engaged. Jim Parsons was excellent as Oh and Rihanna knocked it out of the park with her interpretation of Tip
