Movie review: Frankenweenie
—
Grade: A Tim B urton has hit one out of the ball park with *Frankenweenie*. He manages to spoof just about all of the old B movies of the 50’s and 60’s, from Godzilla to Gamera. *Frankenweenie* is sweet without being saccharine and charming without being cutesy. The ending was one that every child will…

Movie Review – Perfect Pitch
—
The name says it all: Pitch Perfect. I seriously, didn’t see or hear anything I didn’t like. This was one of those movies you are constantly smiling through. When the characters excel, you feel overjoyed for them. When they fail, you feel their pain. The singing in this movie was fantastic! There is a scene…

Movie review: Taken 2
—
Grade: C I was really expecting this movie to be awful. The good news is that it’s not all that bad. The bad news is that it’s still not that good either. It really is a complete rehash of the first movie but that shouldn’t surprise anyone. The movie was written by Luc Besson who…

Movie review: Hotel Transylvania
—
Grade: B- This was a great movie for kids. It was not scary in the least but there was a vast array of monsters to tickle their imagination. As for the adults, it dragged a bit. The last twenty or so minutes were very entertaining. There is something about watching animated monsters and animals dance…

Movie Review – Looper
—
Here’s a great thing: they didn’t give anything away about the plot in the previews. The acting and story are the best part of the movie – which is how all movies should be. The characters are complex and some of them grow during the course of the story unfolding. The last movie I can…

Movie review: End of Watch
—
Grade: A+ I was blown away by this movie. First of all, it gave me a whole new respect for the police officers that fight for our protection everyday. It really is a thankless job. They risk their lives everyday and don’t get the respect they deserve. It’s scary out there. So I want to…

Movie review: Trouble with the Curve
—
Grade: B+ You do not have to be a baseball fan to enjoy this movie. Trouble With A Curve is nice study of an atypical relationship between an aging father and his successful daughter. Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams and Justin Timberlake all gave very good performances, the story was good and the ending was icing…

Movie review: Step Up Revolution
—
Grade: C The movie was very predictable. Painfully predictable. This storyline has been done hundreds of time. That being said the movie didn’t suck. The performances of the flash mob were amazing. The soundtrack was outrageously good. Those two things saved me from walking out after getting my pee time. The absolute dedication a dancer…

Movie review: Stolen
—
Grade: C- Stolen was not an awful movie and the acting was okay. Nicholas Cage did what he does best, running, dodging bullets, bleeding and breaking bones that miraculously heal by the next scene. The plot was old, tired and basically one that we’ve seen time and time again. The protagonist has something that the…

Movie review: Resident Evil: Retribution
—
Grade: F Please, there is enough pain and suffering going on in the world. Don’t add to it by going to see this movie. First of all the movie is very, VERY short. Yes, the runtime is 95 minutes but the credits are 10 minutes long. That leaves 85 minutes of movie. But, the first…
