The Gunman – movie review
—
Grade: C+ There’s lots of action, lots of things being blown up, and people dying one after another. Sean Penn if very watchable and gives a respectable performance as does Javier Bardem. The plot can be difficult to follow with all the globe-trotting that takes place.

Insurgent – movie review
—
Grade: C I’m not a fan of the Divergent series and haven’t read the books. I watched the first movie the night before Insurgent was released and found it to be uninspiring. I wasn’t disappointed with Insurgent because I didn’t expect much. The best thing I can say is that it isn’t horrible. They managed…

Cinderella – movie review
—
Grade: B+ Disney studios along with Kenneth Branagh as director has given a fresh look to an age-old fairy tale. The original animated movie of Cinderella is a classic and hopefully this is how posterity will view the new Cinderella. It’s a beautiful movie with an outstanding cast and spot on directing.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel 2
—
Grade: B- TSBEMH is not a stand alone movie. If you didn’t see the first one you’re going to find yourself completely lost. I thought this sequel was as funny and charming as the first.

The DUFF – movie review
—
Grade: A The Duff blew me away. It was really well done and had a great message. Mae Whitman was especially good. Just watching her facial expressions made me laugh. While I was watching this movie I was thinking to myself that you couldn’t pay me enough to go back to high school. The social aspect…

Still Alice – movie review
—
Grade: A This movie addresses the delicate subject of familial Alzheimer’s and the emotional impact on one family. Julianne Moore gave an extraordinary performance as Alice and the rest of the cast sort of fell to the back of the plot so that what we see and feel for Alice isn’t diluted by the emotions…
