Grade: C What I found most surprising about this movie is the quality of the acting. Usually movies like this pluck their main characters from the B-list. But somehow the creators managed to land Aaron Eckhart, who is an outstandingly good, but underrated, actor. Eckhart brings gravitas to the character of Frankenstein that the story…

Grade: B Shadow Recruit was much better than I expected. The first thing people are going to ask is how well does Chris Pine pull off the role of Jack Ryan compared to his predecessors? In my opinion he did a fantastic job, maybe the best Jack Ryan of them all. You need to know…

Grade: B Each week the family sits around waiting anxiously to find out what movie we each get.  I was terribly sad to find out that I was getting the new Hercules movie. I thought to myself that at least three hours of my life would be wasted. When I’m wrong,  which isn’t very often,…

Grade: B+ I’ve been looking forward to seeing this movie for some time. And I’m happy to report that I liked it, only not for the reasons I thought I would.

Grade: A I didn’t have high expectations going into this movie, but even if I had they would have been exceeded. The entire cast was fantastic.

Grade: A If you were only expecting knockout performances from Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep then prepare to be disappointed because they’re not the only ones who shine in this movie. The entire cast is shockingly good. If I had to pick out one actor who really stood out, besides the aforementioned Roberts and Streep,…

Grade: B+ The Marked Ones really surprised me. I have been a fan of the franchise since its inception and was really leery of this new spin they were bringing. My worries were unfounded. As I sat in the theater on opening night, along with the rest of the audience, we watched a movie that…

Grade: B+ It’s hard to judge the quality of the movie because it’s rather unique. It’s told mostly through narration by Leonardo DiCaprio throughout the movie. One thing I can say with confidence is that the movie is funny. I was in a packed theater and the audience laughed dozens of times. In fact it…
