Movie Review – Inside Out
—
When Disney/Pixar releases a new animated film, people notice. Especially if their name is mom or dad. So, when trailers for Inside Out started floating around the inter webs, there was a collective “yippee” in the minds of thousands of parents everywhere. Chance are, that “yippee” came from the mouth of one inner voice –…

Jurassic World Movie References
Now that everyone has seen Jurassic World… You did see it, right? (It broke box office records so I’ll assume you did.) Let’s talk about the incredible number of movie references – some intentional, some perhaps not – in this movie. Note: minor spoilers to follow. Obviously the references to the original Jurassic Park were plentiful. Most are…

Jurassic World – Movie Review
Grade: B+ I have mixed feelings about the movie. The story, and most of the characters, drag the movie down. I’d give that part of the movie a C-, at best. Chris Pratt is definitely a bright spot. He’s perfectly cast for the roll of Owen — the raptor wrangler. He can be funny when…

Entourage – movie review
—
I had absolutely no idea what Entourage was about. When I went to go see this movie I had just learned that there was a show of Entourage on television. What I’m getting at is I was a Entourage virgin and now I’m a fanatic. This movie was incredible. Today I will be working at…

Spy – movie review
—
Once again Melissa McCarthy has shown herself to be one of the best comedic actors if not the best, on screen screen today. I think Paul Figg took Melissa’s character in Heat, fleshed her out, made her funnier and more interesting . And if you’re wondering, yes, Jason Stratham can be funny, very funny. Spy…

Insidious: Chapter 3 – movie review
—
Insidious: Chapter 3 was ahhh-mazing. I’m a horror movie fanatic, and this trilogy (so far?) is by far my favorite. It’s the only series, or even stand alone movie, that has something happening non-stop. There’s no dead spots, no pun intended, and you’re essentially on the edge of your seat the whole time. I jumped…

Aloha – movie review
—
Grade: C- I love Bill Murray. That being said, I must believe that he took the roll of Carson Welsh because his little buddy from St. Vincent, Jaeden Lieberher, was also in Aloha. As for the other big names, Bradley Cooper, Emma Watson and Rachel McAdams: they showed up, and spoke their lines, but I…

San Andreas – movie review
—
Grade: B- I’m a firm believer that movies should be judged based on their genre. It makes no sense to compare a movie like San Andreas with something like Pitch Perfect 2, right? The action/disaster genre, or disaster porn as I like to call it, isn’t exactly known for its riveting plots, or soulful acting. They should…

Poltergeist – movie review
—
Grade: D+ They let me down. I had high hopes for Poltergeist. I figured this one would step away from the original enough to not cause us to compare them. I was wrong. Some of the same lines were used and they didn’t come out strong enough. The acting fell flat. I almost got the…

Tomorrowland – movie review
—
Grade: C+ I found Tomorrowland visually stunning, however the plot was convoluted especially for the younger set and was about 45 minutes longer than it needed to be. Parents can be comfortable in taking the children to see this movie. There are several good role models and the violence is kept to a minimum. Tomorrowland…
