Movie review: Argo
—
Grade: A- Wonderful movie all the way around. Great performances from the entire cast. Affleck did a great job both acting and directing. If you’ve seen the previews then you have a complete understanding of what the plot is. No surprises there. The biggest surprise for me was the humor. The audience laughed out loud…

Movie review: Paranormal Activity 4
—
I want to start off by saying the last thirty minutes of the movie is what made it watchable. I enjoyed those few minutes. My legs were in a constant state of chill bumps and I have to admit my hands flew up to my face of their own accord a few times. That being…

Movie review: Here Comes the Boom
—
Grade: B A sweet and inspiring story. The actors did a great job of creating characters that are enjoyable and sympathetic in an otherwise predictable movie. If you want to go sit in a theater, have a good time, and not have to think about anything *Boom* fits the bill. There were a few chuckles…

Movie review: Sinister
—
Grade: A+ Sinister totally exceeded my expectations. Over the last few years it’s been really hard to come across a scary movie that delivers us some chills and thrills. This one did and then some. While I was watching there were about twenty people in the theater besides myself. I can tell you that every…

Movie review: Seven Psychopaths
—
Grade: A Watching heads explode and throats sliced open has never been funnier. Christopher Walken and Woody Harrelson steal the movie. Oh yes, let’s not forget Bonnie, the Shih Tzu. The story line was at times bizarre but I loved this movie. Just as I have seen Pulp Fiction a couple of hundred times, I’ll…

Movie review: Frankenweenie
—
Grade: A Tim B urton has hit one out of the ball park with *Frankenweenie*. He manages to spoof just about all of the old B movies of the 50’s and 60’s, from Godzilla to Gamera. *Frankenweenie* is sweet without being saccharine and charming without being cutesy. The ending was one that every child will…

Movie Review – Perfect Pitch
—
The name says it all: Pitch Perfect. I seriously, didn’t see or hear anything I didn’t like. This was one of those movies you are constantly smiling through. When the characters excel, you feel overjoyed for them. When they fail, you feel their pain. The singing in this movie was fantastic! There is a scene…

Movie review: Taken 2
—
Grade: C I was really expecting this movie to be awful. The good news is that it’s not all that bad. The bad news is that it’s still not that good either. It really is a complete rehash of the first movie but that shouldn’t surprise anyone. The movie was written by Luc Besson who…

Movie review: Hotel Transylvania
—
Grade: B- This was a great movie for kids. It was not scary in the least but there was a vast array of monsters to tickle their imagination. As for the adults, it dragged a bit. The last twenty or so minutes were very entertaining. There is something about watching animated monsters and animals dance…

Movie Review – Looper
—
Here’s a great thing: they didn’t give anything away about the plot in the previews. The acting and story are the best part of the movie – which is how all movies should be. The characters are complex and some of them grow during the course of the story unfolding. The last movie I can…
