Grade: C+ This is a movie for young children in the 3 to 7 age range. It’s loud, colorful, and frenetic. Mom and Dad probably won’t get any enjoyment out of it. There is very little humor aimed at adults. You might laugh more at your kids enjoyment than at the movie itself.

Grade: C Seventh son was not a bad movie by any means. It also was not my favorite. It was kind of like The Sorcerers Apprentice meets Clash of the Titans. Jeff Bridges was a great actor as always, if not slightly cheesy. However, I feel his directors pushed him in that direction. Julianne Moore…

Grade: C It’s times like these that I really hate writing movie reviews. Jupiter Ascending is an archetypical story with a great deal of potential, but it falls short in so many ways. But I really appreciate that the Wachowski’s (writers/directors of The Matrix, V is for Vendetta, Cloud Atlas) always try and reach for…

Grade: C- This is a “found footage” made film, which I find enormously irritating. If you’re like me, in that respect, then you should stay away from this movie. The movie isn’t bad but it doesn’t add anything to the time travel genre either. My advice is to take a pass and if you really…

Grade: A The Loft was surprisingly good. I didn’t expect so many twists and turns. Just when I thought I had it figured out, they proved me wrong. That actually happened quite a few times. The cast that they assembled was awesome. You were treated to so many different types of personalities that it stayed…

Grade: B+ Strange Magic should appeal to movie goers of all ages. Children will love the animation, while the older set will enjoy the sound track — classic rock and roll. The story was charming and funny. Adults will laugh at some of the dialog that goes over the heads of children. I’m not sure…

Grade: A+ Oh my God. This movie proved that Jennifer Aniston is Superwoman. I can not express in words how absolutely riveting her performance was. My heart was ripped from my chest and thrown on the ground only to have a double-decker bus come by and run over. Then it backed up and ran over…

Grade: D+ Mortdecai is evidence that an all star cast doesn’t necessarily translate into a great movie. I don’t think it’s the cast fault for the movie falling flat. It’s primarily due to the writing. The only thing the writers had going for them was a thesaurus. The characters are all written and portrayed as…

Grade: A The Wedding Ringer was absolutely hilarious! I am going to go see it again because I missed a bunch of stuff since I was laughing so hard. It really was non stop humor. Will it win an Oscar? Most definitely not, but what it did win was my new favorite Kevin Hart film.…
