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…

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…

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…

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…

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.…

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…

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…

Grade: A+ Sinister totally exceeded my expectations. Over the last few years it’s been really hard to come across a scary movie that delivers us some chills and thrills. This one did and then some. While I was watching there were about twenty people in the theater besides myself. I can tell you that every…
