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…

Movie review: Silent Hill: Revelation 3D
—
Grade: C+ Even though I didn’t see the first movie or play the video game it was easy enough to figure out where this movie was going from the very start. The girl was tormented by dreams. Dad had done something terrible but it wasn’t his fault. Mom was either in heaven or headed for…

Movie review: Cloud Atlas
—
Grade: B *Cloud Atlas* is not an easy movie to review. It is confusing, and epic, and sometimes epically confusing. This is clearly a movie with a mission statement I’m just not entirely sure it’s something I get after one viewing. ( It doesn’t help that I was writing peetime notes throughout most of the…

Movie review: The Perk of Being a Wallflower
—
Grade: A+ To say that this was a sweet, coming of age movie is about as accurate as calling the Mona Lisa a nice snapshot. I haven’t been a teenager for about 50 years but I found myself becoming a part of the movie rather than just sitting in the audience casually observing the actors…

Movie review: Alex Cross
—
Grade: D- Let me preface this review by letting you know I don’t have any background with the Alex Cross stories. I’m coming into this as a newbie. As a newbie I thought this movie left a lot to be desired. First, the good stuff: I thought Tyler Perry was decent as Dr. Alex Cross.…

Movie review: Argo
—
Grade: A- Wonderful movie all the way around. Great performances from the entire cast. Affleck did a great job both acting and directing. If you’ve seen the previews then you have a complete understanding of what the plot is. No surprises there. The biggest surprise for me was the humor. The audience laughed out loud…

Movie review: Paranormal Activity 4
—
I want to start off by saying the last thirty minutes of the movie is what made it watchable. I enjoyed those few minutes. My legs were in a constant state of chill bumps and I have to admit my hands flew up to my face of their own accord a few times. That being…

Movie review: Here Comes the Boom
—
Grade: B A sweet and inspiring story. The actors did a great job of creating characters that are enjoyable and sympathetic in an otherwise predictable movie. If you want to go sit in a theater, have a good time, and not have to think about anything *Boom* fits the bill. There were a few chuckles…
