Movie review: Prometheus
—
You should know that I’m a HUGE fan of the Aliens universe and have been looking forward to this movie since I first heard about its production. I didn’t think the movie was OMG fantastic but I wasn’t disappointed. And I’m looking forward to watching it a few more times. I have the feeling that…

Movie Review – Lincoln – An A+ Presidential Biography
Spielberg has given us a three dimensional insight into the last few months of our most beloved leader. In Lincoln we see him not only as the President during the most difficult time in our nation’s history, but also in an equally demanding role as husband and father. Make no mistake, this is not a…

Movie review: Breaking Dawn – Part 2
—
Epic ending to an epic saga! I enjoyed the other movies but I loved this one. Luckily I got to see the midnight showing. Personally I love these crowds. When something crazy goes down on the screen the midnighters have something to say about it. The theater was roaring during the final twenty minutes of…

Movie review: Skyfall
—
Grade: A *Skyfall* is in my estimation the best of the Daniel Craig Bond movies and that’s saying a lot because *Casino Royal* was fabulous. *Skyfall* has all of the ingredients you expect in a Bond film: action, one line quips, flirtation and sex, and lets not forget the evil genius antagonist. In fact the…

Movie review: Flight
—
Grade: A+ *Flight* is one of the most thought provoking movies I have seen in a long time. The journey the writers, directors, and cast take you on will leave you breathless. Denzel has once again proven himself to be one of the greatest actors of our time. The darkness that was within his character…

Movie review: The Man with the Iron Fists
—
Grade: D+ I thought *The Man with the Iron Fists* was horrible. However, if you’re looking forward to this film then you can take my review with a grain of salt because this isn’t a genre that I’m overly fond of. Not to say that I don’t enjoy any martial arts movies. I thought *Crouching…

Movie review: Silent Hill: Revelation 3D
—
Grade: C+ Even though I didn’t see the first movie or play the video game it was easy enough to figure out where this movie was going from the very start. The girl was tormented by dreams. Dad had done something terrible but it wasn’t his fault. Mom was either in heaven or headed for…

Movie review: Cloud Atlas
—
Grade: B *Cloud Atlas* is not an easy movie to review. It is confusing, and epic, and sometimes epically confusing. This is clearly a movie with a mission statement I’m just not entirely sure it’s something I get after one viewing. ( It doesn’t help that I was writing peetime notes throughout most of the…

Movie review: The Perk of Being a Wallflower
—
Grade: A+ To say that this was a sweet, coming of age movie is about as accurate as calling the Mona Lisa a nice snapshot. I haven’t been a teenager for about 50 years but I found myself becoming a part of the movie rather than just sitting in the audience casually observing the actors…

Movie review: Alex Cross
—
Grade: D- Let me preface this review by letting you know I don’t have any background with the Alex Cross stories. I’m coming into this as a newbie. As a newbie I thought this movie left a lot to be desired. First, the good stuff: I thought Tyler Perry was decent as Dr. Alex Cross.…
