The Water Diviner – movie review
—
Grade: B WW I history buffs will enjoy this movie ever though it’s not completely historically accurate. Russell Crow did a respectable job directing Water Diviner and the acting was good. While this movie cannot be compared to other epic war dramas, Saving Private Ryan for instance, it does provide the movie goer with a…

Avengers: Age of Ultron – movie review
—
Grade: A+ In case you didn’t know this movie, and all MARVEL movies it seems, came out a week earlier in the UK and many other countries than it does in the USA. (Why? I have no idea.) Anyhow, I downloaded a crappy cam copy so that I could get peetimes for my international users.…

Get Hard – movie review
—
Grade: B+ Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell were both awesome! I was really impressed with how well they played off of each other. This is easily my second favorite Will Ferrell movie, after Step Brother of course. His character was so funny that I missed a bunch of the movie by laughing so hard. Kevin…

Home – movie review
—
Grade: B- The producers of Home did a fine job of giving youngsters a movie with lots of action, movement and funny looking creatures. The story line was just adequate enough to keep the audience engaged. Jim Parsons was excellent as Oh and Rihanna knocked it out of the park with her interpretation of Tip

Movie Review – Do You Believe? – A Film to Help You Find Hope
—
I’ll admit I was of the mind-set that I was going to hate this movie and be bored beyond tears. As it happens, I was moved to tears. I’m not a religious person. I didn’t find God in this movie, but what I found was hope for humanity. There are some wonderful people in this…

The Gunman – movie review
—
Grade: C+ There’s lots of action, lots of things being blown up, and people dying one after another. Sean Penn if very watchable and gives a respectable performance as does Javier Bardem. The plot can be difficult to follow with all the globe-trotting that takes place.

Insurgent – movie review
—
Grade: C I’m not a fan of the Divergent series and haven’t read the books. I watched the first movie the night before Insurgent was released and found it to be uninspiring. I wasn’t disappointed with Insurgent because I didn’t expect much. The best thing I can say is that it isn’t horrible. They managed…

Cinderella – movie review
—
Grade: B+ Disney studios along with Kenneth Branagh as director has given a fresh look to an age-old fairy tale. The original animated movie of Cinderella is a classic and hopefully this is how posterity will view the new Cinderella. It’s a beautiful movie with an outstanding cast and spot on directing.

Run All Night – movie review
—
Grade: C- The good news is that this movie is immeasurably better than Taken 3. Liam did a good job with his role, as did Ed Harris. Joel Kinnaman, who played Mike (Liam’s son), didn’t have much to work with. His character was consistently expressionless throughout the movie. My guess is that was due to…
