Movie review – Battle: Los Angeles
—
[ No Spoilers ] Battle: Los Angeles is an amazingly fun, action packed, and gut wrenching movie. There was nothing that I didn’t like about the film. It has a lot in common with the other modern alien invasion movies: District 9, Independence Day, etc. But it is closer to District 9 in it’s grittyness.…

Movie review : Vampires Suck
—
I actually got the biggest kick out of this movie. Having read all the Twilight books, but somehow missing out on all three movies, might have been a part of it. I thought this light spoof did a great job holding a coherent plot, compressing the huge oeuvre into one hour and 20 minutes, and…

Movie review : The Switch
—
A very cute movie – and also a more grown-up version of a romantic comedy than we are used to seeing. Characters’ actions have consequences; personalities have depth. The Switch hit all the right notes to be a classic. Aniston finally has a vehicle that isn’t embarrassing – she’s fine in this film. And while…

Movie Review – The Other Guys
—
I’m not sure how to rate this movie. It started out brilliant, then lost all steam and comic coherence. The opening sequence with The Rock and Samuel L Jackson spoofing themselves is a wonderful riot. The scenes between Will Ferrell and Mark Walhberg in the NYPD offices have some of the best humor seen this…

Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
—
Cats & Dogs Don’t you just love movies where animals can talk. What I really love is trying to figure out who all the voices are. This time around I was stumped on a few of them, so I recommend looking the movie up on IMDB before hand. Now that I know who all the…

Movie review: Charlie St. Cloud
—
Charlie St. Cloud This was a sweet movie, it’s not going to win any awards and it probably won’t be a blockbuster but it is good clean entertainment. Yes, it has its sad moments and there are more than a few holes in the story but the acting is spot-on plus the scenery is beautiful.…

Movie review : Ramona and Beezus
—
Ramona and Beezus Buy the soundtrack for Ramona and Beezus iTunes Purchase at Amazon Ramona and Beezus was a terrifical little movie. As a child, I read everyone of Beverly Cleary’s books. I would wait on pins and needles for library day so I could check out another one. Well a little over twenty-eight years…

Movie Review – Inception (No Spoilers)
[ No Spoilers for Inception ] Right down the line, from acting to directing to writing to musical score to effects, this movie is top notch. In some cases brilliant. There’s not a weak link to be found. There are very few movies that twist and turn between action and drama with Gatling gun speed…

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Buy the soundtrack for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice iTunes Purchase at Amazon The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is like watching the Dallas Cowboys play the Washington Redskins. You know the Redskins are going to make a game of it for a while but in the end you know the Cowboys are going to win. Even…
