Movie Review – Man of Steel
—
Man of Steel is a fast-paced visual feast that is supported by great actors. Even when the premise feels a bit flimsy, the actors convincingly sell the story to the audience. Much of the film is told in flashbacks, when Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) is a boy/teen, giving the audience a window into how difficult…

Movie Review – Smurfs 2
—
Smurfs 2 was super cute. I think it was better than the first one by a long shot. This one kept me entertained the whole time. Don’t tell my boss, but I fell asleep during the first one. The thing that made this one better is all the lines that will totally go over kids…

Movie Review – The Place Beyond the Pines
—
This movie is interesting because of its non-traditional structure. It interconnects the story of two flawed men, and examines how their actions affect their sons. Ryan Gosling gives a sparse, electric performance. It’s so good, in fact, that I almost wish the story had stayed focused on Luke. But this story, like life, moves forward,…

Movie Review – Oblivion
—
This film will certainly be enjoyed by die hard sci-fi lovers for its beautiful visuals — it’s particularly wonderful if you see it in IMAX. The dystopian story of an Earth post-alien invasion starts off a little slow, but is intriguing. There’s a genius scene in a swimming pool. Half-way through the movie though, the…

Movie Review – The Lords of Salem
—
The Lords of Salem, written and directed by Rob Zombie, definitely made it to my top 5 list along with Devils Rejects. However, this movie, with Zombie’s morbidly delicious way of thinking, is not going to be for the general public. It was visually assaulting. Rob Zombie imagined the witches as Manson-esque hippies, and very…

Movie Review – Pain & Gain
—
As I’m sure you know, Pain & Gain is based on a true story that took place in Miami, FL in the 90s. Michael Bay took an unfortunately comical event and made a pretty decent movie out of it. Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson were the perfect people for their roles. They’re both serious exercise-aholics,…

Movie Review – The Big Wedding
—
Wedding movies are a dime a dozen. There isn’t anything new or original in The Big Wedding. The families are dysfunctional on both sides of the aisle, and of course the priest has his own personal baggage. The all star cast didn’t exactly bring their A game, but they were funny enough to make me…

Movie Review – Olympus Has Fallen
—
Olympus has Fallen is a lot like Die Hard in the White House. It is by no means as good, but it’s still an entertaining and action packed movie. Movie critics are split on their reviews, but the audience ratings are pretty solid in the “like it” category. The theater was nearly packed last night…

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…
