Movie review : The Losers
—
The Losers Buy the soundtrack for The LosersiTunes Purchase at Amazon I’m a big fan of this movie genre. I can’t wait to see the A-Team. But let me tell you this movie was horrible. The plot was horrible. The acting, what little there was of it, was bad. Most of the time it seemed…

Movie Review – Date Night
—
Sigh. For the two funniest people on television, I was expecting very funny, not mildly amusing. The outtakes showed how enjoyable this film coulda, shoulda have been. I don’t blame the actors. I think the director told them to dial it back and play it straight – which was a mistake, as the plot doesn’t…

Movie Review – How to Train Your Dragon (No Spoilers)
How to Train Your Dragon was a good solid kids movie the whole family can enjoy. There were a handful of fun action scenes that appeal to kids. I was surprised it had a PG rating instead of a G. The fighting scenes are very cartoonish: nothing more violent than a Bugs Bunny cartoon. The…

Movie review : The Bounty Hunter
—
The Bounty Hunter Buy the soundtrack for The Bounty Hunter Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon With its convoluted plot, you’d think Bounty Hunter might be a waste of time. Who is after who? Which set of bad guys are we looking at? Why isn’t Milo a cop anymore? It doesn’t really matter. The game…

Movie review : She’s Out of My League
—
She’s Out of My League Buy the soundtrack for She’s Out of My League iTunes Amazon Charming in a low key way. While the lead characters have no actual romantic chemistry with each other, they are enjoyably cast. The backup friends (on both sides) are really the delight of this film. Stainer and his motley…

Movie review : Green Zone
—
Green Zone Buy the soundtrack for Green Zone Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon I think the best way to describe how good this movie is is to compare it to a very good George Clooney movie with all the very good parts taken out. There’s nothing wrong with Matt Damons work at all. In…

Movie review : Brooklyn’s Finest
—
Brooklyn’s Finest Buy the soundtrack for Brooklyn’s Finest iTunes Purchase at Amazon If you’re a fan of either Don Cheadle, Richard Gere or Ethan Hawke, or just like cop movies, then you’ll love Brooklyn’s Finest. This movie is a little like Pulp Fiction without the dark humor. There are three plots and each is germane…

Movie review : Cop Out
—
Cop Out Buy the soundtrack for Cop Out Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon Cop Out was hard to watch. It…um… sucked. It had humor and adventure and really bad guys, with independent but loyal female characters. Some moments provoked a giggle or two. With me so far? Cop Out cast me nostalgically back to…
