Movie review: The Words
—
Grade: C- I enjoyed this movie up until the ending. They gave it a cutesy twist and not in a good way. As I was exiting the theater most people were muttering words that are not fit to display here. The acting was good but there were no challenging aspects for any of the characters.

Movie review: The Cold Light of Day
—
Grade: D *Cold Light of Day* currently has a 10% at RottenTomatoes.com. The good news is it isn’t all that bad. It’s certainly not a good movie. But it’s not retched either. The acting is ho-hum. Bruce Willis has little more than a cameo roll in the movie. Sigourney Weaver doesn’t have much more than…

Movie review: The Possession
—
Grade: D+ Since the dawn of Run Pee I have been delegated to seeing all horror movies. The reason being is I love them. I love the feeling of sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the moment that my popcorn goes flying and I spill my drink. The moments that you don’t…

Movie review: Lawless
—
Grade: B+ For weeks I had been anxiously awaiting the premier of Lawless. I can’t really put into words how much I love Tom Hardy and Shia LaBeouf. I watched Shia grow up on television and blossom into a really great movie star. It was like seeing my own child succeed and flourish in a…

Movie review: Premium Rush
—
I found Premium Rush to be enjoyable and easy to follow, for the most part. I was expecting that the package/information being transported by bike messenger would end up involving some complicated international intrigue but that wasn’t the case at all. It was certainly something important but only to a small number of people. That kept…

Movie review: Hit and Run
—
Grade: B+ The movie is fun and hilarious and even sweet at times. It won’t win an Oscar but it won me over and that’s all I wanted. I am thoroughly impressed with Dax Shepard. I had no idea that he not only stared in the movie but also wrote it and directed it. I…

Movie review: ParaNorman
—
Grade: B- As usual, I rate an animated movie in accordance to the amount of laughter coming from the audience. There was lots of laughter from the children and a smattering from the adults. The movie was exactly as advertised: a kid who talks to dead people. Everyone thinks he weird except for his parents…

Movie review: The Expendables 2
—
Grade: D+ I really enjoyed the first *Expendables*. It wasn’t a great movie by any means but for an action movie fan it was fun. But it was fun in a serious way. There was good character development in the first *Expendables* and something the resembled a plot. *Expendables 2*? Not so much. It’s campy…

Movie review: The Odd Life of Timothy Green
—
Grade: B+ I’ve read a few reviews about this movie calling it too sentimental too saccharine and not realistic at all. Well…that’s why I saw this movie rather than The Expendables. I didn’t want to see things get blown up in my face. I have no hankering for blood baths. I *wanted* to see humankind…

Movie review: Hope Springs
—
Grade: A A charming predictable movie with great dialog and plenty of humor. Meryl and Tommy Lee were great together and believable as a middle aged couple who has lost their spark. In my theater the audience was comprised mainly of senior citizens. ( Hey, I’m in Florida and it was early afternoon.) There were…
