Movie review : The Crazies
—
I’ve watched The Crazies a number of times now and it still holds up as an excellent example of a good zombie movie. The pacing starts off slow and builds exponentially. Many zombie movies ramp of the action and scares too quickly, creating an up and down feeling to the pace. Not in this movie. It…

Movie review : Valentine’s Day
—
Valentine’s Day Buy the soundtrack for Valentine’s Day Purchase at iTunes Amazon [ No spoilers ] First off the cast is great and huge. In the first 30 minutes of the movie there were at least 15 different scene cuts and it didn’t seem like we visited the same actor/actress twice. This movie is packed…

Movie review : Crazy Heart
—
Crazy Heart Buy the soundtrack for Crazy Heart Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon [ No spoilers ] For most people, if asked to name a Jeff Bridges movie, more than half would say Starman. I’ve always felt that it was his best role. Until today. Jeff Bridges as Bad Blake, a wash-up, alcoholic country…

Dear John Buy the soundtrack for Dear John Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon [ No spoilers ] The movie schedule this week worked out to where I had to see this movie instead of my mother or wife. So a middle aged guy is probably not the demographic this movie was aiming for. I’m…

Movie review : Edge of Darkness
—
Edge of Darkness Buy the soundtrack for Edge of Darkness Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon Mel Gibson provides just the right touch in Edge of Darkness – he’s a sweetheart father, a rough Boston cop dedicated to his job, and pretty darned good at psyching people out to give up their creepy intel. He’s…

Movie review : When in Rome
—
When in Rome Buy the soundtrack for When in Rome Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon I like Kristen Bell; she is a doll. When in Rome is charming fluff to pleasantly fill an hour and make you want to believe in magic. Maybe. Ignore the plot holes and try to just have fun. The…

Movie review : Extraordinary Measures
—
Extraordinary Measures Buy the soundtrack for Extraordinary Measures Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon This was a major disappointment, sad to say. The sick children were perky and adorable, and it was neat to watch Harrison Ford play a crotchety misogynist. And…that’s about it. B- and rent the DVD if you must. Here is the…

Movie Review – The Tooth Fairy
—
Buy the soundtrack for Tooth Fairy Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon [ No Spoilers ] It’s no secret: I love kids’ movies. To be more precise I love kids’ movies that have good humor, good acting, and deliver a message without being silly about it. That being said, “I loved Tooth Fairy.” There are…
