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…

Admission – movie review
—
Grade: C Tina Fey (Portia) and Paul Rudd (John) didn’t have the best on screen chemistry and the story has been done time and time again. The movie isn’t bad; it’s just bland. The best parts of the movie were the scenes with Lily Tomlin as Portia’s mother. If they could have found a way…

Spring Breakers – movie review
—
Grade: B “Spring Breakers” was absolutely not what I was expecting. When I saw that Selena Gomez was starring I figured it would be a lighthearted comedy. I overlooked the fact that it has an R-rating. There was nothing lighthearted about this movie. It was an in your face and slap you on the butt…

Olympus has Fallen – movie review
—
Grade: B+ “Olympus has Fallen” is a lot like “Die Hard” in the White House. It is by no means as good but it’s still an entertaining and action packed movie. ( When I say “Die Hard” I’m talking about the original movie and not the latest release in the series. ) Movie critics are…

The Call – movie review
—
Grade: B I’ve been waiting to see this movie for months and it was well worth the wait. Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin both display great range as actors across a spectrum of emotions. It can be argued that the plot is implausible; a 911 operator receiving two different calls from the victims of the…

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone – movie review
—
Grade: D I normally love my comfy job but “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” was really like working. I couldn’t wait for it to be over. Watching the trailers I figured there would be some cool magic tricks and of course some really cool characters. How can you go wrong with a cast of Steve Carell,…

Wil Wheaton & Gigi Edgley Like RunPee!
—
The RunPee Family attended the MegaCon conference here in Orlando this week. It was a chance to wear our t-shirts and help spread the word about RunPee. It was encouraging to see just how few of the people we talked to have heard about RunPee. That shows us that even though the app is selling…

Oz the Great and Powerful
—
Grade: B+ Visually it’s a stunning movie. Regrettably I didn’t see it in 3D – because it’s hard to take peetime notes with those glasses on – but tomorrow I’m going back to see it with the family in 3D. ( I’ll update this review with my 3D thoughts later. ) The set designs were…

Jack the Giant Slayer – movie review
—
Grade: D+ I was hoping Jack the Giant Slayer would be more than just a kid movie. Nicholas Hoult – Jack – and Eleanor Tomlinson – Isabelle – are promising young actors, and are backed up by the amazing talents of Ewan McGregor and Stanley Tucci. While the cast delivered decent performances, the story was…

21 and Over – movie review
—
Grade: B+ If you enjoyed *Hangover* then you’re going to love *21 and Over* – they’re both written and directed by the same crew. The difference between these movies is that *The Hangover* barely crossed over the line to become an R-rated film; *21 and Over* goes zooming past that line, and leaves it fading…
