Grade: B- TSBEMH is not a stand alone movie. If you didn’t see the first one you’re going to find yourself completely lost. I thought this sequel was as funny and charming as the first.

Grade: A The Duff blew me away. It was really well done and had a great message. Mae Whitman was especially good. Just watching her facial expressions made me laugh. While I was watching this movie I was thinking to myself that you couldn’t pay me enough to go back to high school. The social aspect…

Grade: A This movie addresses the delicate subject of familial Alzheimer’s and the emotional impact on one family.

Grade: A There’s no point in reviewing this movie. It’s as good as a movie is going to get. Great story, great acting — J.K. Simmons won an Oscar for best supporting actor, and great directing, oh yeah, the music doesn’t suck either. 🙂

Grade: A It isn’t often that a movie exceeds my expectations, but this one sure did. I was hoping for something good; I got something great. There are no holes in this movie. The acting is better than good, there isn’t anything groundbreaking with the action, but I think they did an excellent job. Especially…
