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…

Movie Review – The Avengers
—
Fantastic movie. There was never a dull moment. The movie was 2 hours and 13 minutes — without the credits — and you’ll wish it was an hour longer. Joss Whedon managed to pack in a great deal of character development with all the action, without making it seem forced. The action was as good…
