Movie review: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
—
“Seeking a Friend for the End of the World” is a classic Steve Carell movie. He plays much the same character that he did in “40 Year Old Virgin”. Keira Knightley was her usual cute, messy self. And there are a few well placed cameos in the movie. It’s hard to say that the acting…

Movie review: That’s My Boy
—
Don’t you hate it when the movie companies release a trailer that contains every funny scene in the movie? You get your hopes up that it’s going to be a hilarious movie only to find out that you’ve already seen all of the funny scenes sitting at home on your couch for free. I was…

Movie review: Hysteria
—
It’s a fun and enjoyable movie that is probably best left as a rental. Tanya Wexler, the director of “Hysteria”, gracefully walked a fine line between humor and obscenity. I’m a big fan of historical period-pieces. As such vI’d give this movie a passing grade only because, from what I’ve learned, they did a good…

Movie review: Prometheus
—
You should know that I’m a HUGE fan of the Aliens universe and have been looking forward to this movie since I first heard about its production. I didn’t think the movie was OMG fantastic but I wasn’t disappointed. And I’m looking forward to watching it a few more times. I have the feeling that…

Movie Review – Lincoln – An A+ Presidential Biography
Spielberg has given us a three dimensional insight into the last few months of our most beloved leader. In Lincoln we see him not only as the President during the most difficult time in our nation’s history, but also in an equally demanding role as husband and father. Make no mistake, this is not a…

Movie review: Breaking Dawn – Part 2
—
Epic ending to an epic saga! I enjoyed the other movies but I loved this one. Luckily I got to see the midnight showing. Personally I love these crowds. When something crazy goes down on the screen the midnighters have something to say about it. The theater was roaring during the final twenty minutes of…

Movie review: Skyfall
—
Grade: A *Skyfall* is in my estimation the best of the Daniel Craig Bond movies and that’s saying a lot because *Casino Royal* was fabulous. *Skyfall* has all of the ingredients you expect in a Bond film: action, one line quips, flirtation and sex, and lets not forget the evil genius antagonist. In fact the…

Movie Review – Wreck-It Ralph
—
Wreck It Ralph has a little something for everyone. Gamers from way back in the 80’s will relate well to this movie. The film is retro, sweet, charming, and funny. Initially, I thought it would only have appeal to the small kiddies of 3 to 7. But as the movie progressed, I realized that the…

Movie review: Flight
—
Grade: A+ *Flight* is one of the most thought provoking movies I have seen in a long time. The journey the writers, directors, and cast take you on will leave you breathless. Denzel has once again proven himself to be one of the greatest actors of our time. The darkness that was within his character…

Movie review: The Man with the Iron Fists
—
Grade: D+ I thought *The Man with the Iron Fists* was horrible. However, if you’re looking forward to this film then you can take my review with a grain of salt because this isn’t a genre that I’m overly fond of. Not to say that I don’t enjoy any martial arts movies. I thought *Crouching…
