Grade: B- Beautiful Creatures did it’s job as a movie. I was entertained for the entire two hours. The cast was awesome. It was visually appealing and it left me wanting more. I knew it was based on a book but I did not know it was a series of four books. I won’t give…

Grade: B I just spent the last hour reading reviews on Identity Thief. The majority of them had very unkind words dealing with almost every aspect of the movie. From the way these reviews were written I’m worried that too many people will take those negative remarks to heart and skip this flick. I saw…

Grade: B+ It’s difficult to write a through review for this movie for fear of giving anything away. There are so many twists and turns in Side Effects that one wrong word or expression could give away an important detail. That being said I will tell you it’s a great movie that will keep wondering…

Grade: C- *Bullet to the Head* isn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I know that’s not exactly high praise but I’ve been dreading this movie since I first saw the trailer – I typically do the action movies for RunPee. I’m not saying that it was outstanding by any means. The…

Grade: A- The target age group for this movie is the 40+. The younger set would find Stand Up Guys slow and tedious. I’m in the 60+ age group and I loved it. When you have Walken, Pacino and Arkin together it’s going to be a hit in my book. These guys can take any…

Grade: C I’ve been anxiously awaiting *Warm Bodies* for months now. The trailers had me anxiously awaiting this new spin on zombie movies. It looked like my perfect cup of tea: zombies, humor, romance, and action. I would like to ask the people who make the movie trailers to stop including every funny scene from…

Grade: C- BREAKING NEWS > Arnold Schwarzenegger can act! I know, right? It’s shocking. I’m not saying that he’s a great actor by any means. But his performance in *The Last Stand* was a little better than decent. He appeared comfortable in his role instead of the forced performances of many of his past movies.…

Grade: A- Kudos to director Kathryn Bigelow and writer Mark Boal for putting together a great story that must have been a tremendous challenge. Consider that Osama Bin Laden was killed just over 18 months ago. There must have been an amazing amount of research put into this screenplay. To do that research, write a…

Grade: B+ The Impossible isn’t a fantastic movie my any means. But it’s certainly an entertaining dive into the tragic story of one particular family’s experiences in one of the worst natural catastrophes in human history. It’s important to know that this isn’t an *Hollywood* movie. It is a Spanish production – written by Sergio…
