Movie Review – I, Frankenstein
—
What I found most surprising about this movie is the quality of the acting. Usually movies like this pluck their main characters from the B-list. But somehow the creators managed to land Aaron Eckhart, who is an outstandingly good, but underrated, actor. Eckhart brings gravitas to the character of Frankenstein that the story depends on.…

Movie Review – Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
Despite the fact that I hate myself for laughing at anything during a Will Ferrell movie, I was unable to contain myself — and a few times, at that. Most of Anchorman 2 was rather forgettable. The humor was embarrassing…or most of the time, just not funny. However, I loved the “last battle” scene. That…

Movie Review – Gravity
I enjoyed Gravity, but didn’t love it. I’m not going to grade the movie on its scientific accuracy because if I did, it would get a D, at best. Instead I’ll only consider the story aspects. My biggest beef with Gravity is the character development. The movie is only 90 minutes long, which doesn’t leave…

Movie Review – Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2
—
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 picks up where the 2009 movie left off — but even if you didn’t see the first movie you’re not going to be lost. It’s still a movie all about big food and little food roaming the countryside, being either very bad or very good. The animation was…

Movie Review – Don Jon
—
I was pleasantly surprised by how good this movie was. First, it’s R-rated for a reason, so don’t get caught off guard by that. If you can’t handle a man talking about masturbation and porn, then definitely stay away from this movie. However, if that doesn’t bother you, then get ready to laugh – because…

Movie Review – Rush
Ron Howard is the master of recreating history into an entertaining movie. He did it best with Apollo 13 — yes, that’s a true story for those who didn’t already know — but Rush is nearly as good. I’m a bigger space exploration fan than a racing fan. Either way, Rush is a compelling story…

Movie Review – Riddick
—
Pitch Black is one of my favorite movies ever, and I’m a little uncertain how I feel about Riddick. First off, I can easily say that it isn’t as good as the original — but that’s a very high standard to be compared to. The best thing I can say about Riddick is that it’s…

Movie Review – Getaway
—
Getaway is only about 82 minutes long — excluding the end credits. I didn’t time it, but I don’t think it would be an exaggeration to say that roughly half of the movie involves car chases. So, if you like car chases, then you probably won’t be disappointed. However, I found the car chases to…
