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…

Movie Review – 42
42 is a two hour history lesson that should be watched by every American, especially children. In my humble opinion, Jackie Robinson did more to break the racial barrier than any civil rights leader, and he did it without bloodshed. Chadwick Boseman does an excellent job of capturing Robinson’s style both on and off the…

Movie review: Dredd 3D
—
Grade: B+ Finally, a movie exceeded my expectations. Dredd was much better than anticipated. Actually, it was better than that because I expected it to suck. It was genuinely enjoyable. Carl Urban is a great Dredd. I like the vision they had for the character. Nothing at all like the Stallone version. The biggest surprise…

RunPee year in review 2011
—
2011 was a big year for RunPee. I’ll give you a quick synopsis of RunPee history for those of you who aren’t current. I developed the site back in Summer 2008. The site was left for dead until it got some media attention during Spring 2009. At that point I partnered with RockSoftware to build…

Movie review : Zookeeper
—
There’s nothing funnier than talking animals. I see that Zookeeper is being panned to death but they’re wrong, very very wrong……Talking animals AND Kevin James made for a hysterical movie. The kids in the theater were having a great time watching it and the parents, despite their efforts not laugh, had to give a big…

Movie review : Horrible Bosses
—
Horrible Bosses has something in it that everyone can relate to. People you hate to work with. In this case each of the characters have extremely horrible bosses keeping them down in one way or another. Over drinks Nick, Dale and Kurt hatch a plan to kill their bosses. Once they have their plan in…

Movie review : Bad Teacher
—
[ No Spoilers ] If you’re wondering if Bad Teacher really earned it’s R-rating then worry no longer. It did. In spades. It brought the raunchy as good as any movie I can remember seeing. This is one of those movies that’s hard to capture in the previews because the best parts are exactly the…

Movie review : Green Lantern
—
The power of the Green Lantern gives the wearer the ability to make anything imaginable become reality. The writers/director used their power to conjure up every imaginable cliche ever used to make a super hero comic adaptation. Wait, I take that back. There’s no side kick in this story so they missed maybe one cliche.…
