White House Down – movie review
—
Grade: B I’m a little surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie. I was wasn’t expecting much but I got a fun, action packed, thrill out of it. The film is directed by Roland Emmerich – Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, Godzilla, 2012. Lets face it, none of those movies were great but…

This is the End – movie review
—
Grade: A This is the End is, simply put, the funniest movie I’ve seen in at least the past 10 years. I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a span of 3 minutes, at any point in the movie, where the entire audience didn’t laugh. It’s hard to criticize the acting because everyone plays themselves. Elements of…

After Earth – movie review
—
Grade: F [ A few spoilers but nothing you don’t learn in the first 3 minutes of the movie’s narration. ] I would like to say that After Earth is a movie worth watching. I’m a huge fan of Will Smith and believe him to be one of the most talented all-round actors in Hollywood,…

Star Trek Into Darkness – movie review [ no spoilers ]
—
Grade: A Let me start by going over the things that I DIDN’T love…Okay, now that we have that out of the way. I’m not kidding. Based on one viewing there’s nothing about this movie I didn’t love. Visuals – Yes, by all means you MUST SEE IN IMAX 3D. I usually avoid 3D movies…

The Great Gatsby – movie review
—
Grade: C+ Let me start of by saying I haven’t read the book. I know, I know, it’s required reading for practically every high school student. I must have been sick that day. It’s difficult to give this move a single overall grade because some aspects were pretty good while others were…not so much. Lets…

Iron Man 3 – movie review
—
Grade: B- There is a lot to like about Iron Man 3, but, speaking for myself, not a lot to love. Where it falls short is that there’s never a moment where I feel that Iron Man won’t survive and save the day. Of course they’re not going to kill of Iron Man in a…

Evil Dead – movie review
—
Grade: A Evil Dead was by far the best remake I have ever seen. This movie captured me in the first three minutes and didn’t let go until the credits ended. We walked out of the very crowded theater just glowing. The whole crowd was roaring with each and every scene. It was a lively…

G.I. Joe: Retaliation – movie review
—
Grade: D- If you’re a big G.I. Joe fan and you know all the characters and their relationships to each other then you might like this movie. But I’m not a G.I. Joe fan and I don’t know anything about the universe so a large portion of the movie was confusing to me. It was…

They meet up with a more evolved person — his forehead isn’t sloped — who introduces them to the prehistoric version of shoes, cell phones, sun glasses, and…

Admission – movie review
—
Grade: C Tina Fey (Portia) and Paul Rudd (John) didn’t have the best on screen chemistry and the story has been done time and time again. The movie isn’t bad; it’s just bland. The best parts of the movie were the scenes with Lily Tomlin as Portia’s mother. If they could have found a way…
