Gone Girl – movie review
—
B+ This isn’t exactly my favorite genre. Still, I loved 98% of this movie but I don’t want to say which 2% of the movie I didn’t like because that might spoil some things for you and I’d hate myself for that because this is a really good movie — except for the part that…

The Equalizer – movie review
—
Grade: A+ First, let’s go over everything that’s wrong with this movie… Okay, now that we have that out of the way… Seriously, there’s nothing wrong; the acting, action, plot, story, characters, pacing, et al., are all spot on. This is the best action movie I can remember seeing since the original Bourne Identity. All…

Maze Runner – movie review
—
Grade: D The movie itself was mediocre — not good or bad. Likewise with the acting. The entire cast is comprised of young inexperienced actors who do an average job — which isn’t a bad thing. No one stood out as great but at the same time no one stood out as horrible. The best…

The November Man – movie review
—
Grade: B+ November Man is a very good movie, compared to other movies in the genre. But lets face it, the spi-thriller genre is heavily littered with disappointments. Being better than average in this genre isn’t a steep hill to climb. I happen to enjoy this genre pretty well. Thinking back to fairly recent movies…

When The Game Stands Tall – movie review
—
Grade: B- This isn’t a movie for movie fans; it’s a movie for football fans, so that’s how I’m going to review it. (Because I am — Roll Tide!) There was a high school football team in the theater with me when I watched the movie. They seemed to enjoy the movie and there were…

Expendables 3 movie review
—
Grade: C Good news: Expendables 3 is much better than Expendables 2, which was horrible. The plot for Ex3 is about as predictable as a grenade with the pin removed. In this case I’d say that’s a good thing. No one wants plot twists and surprises. Just make up an excuse to amp up the…

Into The Storm movie review
—
Grade: D+ I’m not a big fan of comparing movies but it just makes sense to compare Into The Storm with Twister. Twister had a better story/plot and much better humor. Into The Storm has better graphics. (They have18 years of CGI improvements to work with so it would be a travesty if it didn’t.)…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie review
—
Grade: D Simply put: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a kid’s movie. I’m not a TMNT fan and never was. I’ve never seen or read any of their cartoons or comics. Therefore, I can’t say how a lifelong fan will feel about the movie and weather it lived up to any expectations. But if you’re…

Movie Review – Guardians Of The Galaxy – The Marvel Movie that Changed Everything
—
Grade: A- Guardians Of The Galaxy was awesome fun; plenty of humor, amazing visuals, and great action sequences. Best of all the story and acting bring everything together in a suspenseful climax. I often complain that many action movies are too short but that’s not a problem in GOTG. Excluding the credits the movie is…

Hercules – movie review
—
Grade: C- I hate giving bad reviews to movies with my favorite actors. But there’s no escaping it, “Hercules” wasn’t very good. Lets start with the battle scenes. They were the worst filmed battles I’ve seen in decades. The cinematography was bland, and the choreography was redundant. I honestly got bored during the battle in…
