Movie review : Did You Hear About the Morgans?
—
I ‘ve been dragging my feet to review this movie. Good lead actors in a C level film. How did this happen? The Morgans movie commits the worst entertainment sin there is – it is dull. If I didn’t have to get the PeeTimes and end credits info, I would have walked out and sat…

Movie review : Avatar
—
A word about 3D I get motion sick fairly easily. So I was a bit apprehensive going in to see this in 3D. I usually avoid 3D screens, and on the occasions that I have experienced them, it was bad. Usually, 3D movies show a few scenes here and there in 3D, but the majority…

The Princess and the Frog Buy the soundtrack for The Princess and the Frog Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com Unfortunately, I had the flu this week and did not want to spread it to a theater rull of children (or anyone, f0r that matter). So we asked Dan’s mother to get the PeeTimes for…

Movie review : Invictus
—
Invictus Buy the soundtrack for Invictus Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com You won’t find anything wrong with the story, or the acting nor the directing. That’s because Invictus is the product of the best in the business. And who else could possibly play Nelson Mandela besides Morgan Freeman? I’m not even sure this movie…

Movie review : Armored
—
Armored Buy the soundtrack for Armored Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com Armored is a nondemanding bit of amiable escapism. I appreciated the thriller’s lean pace, warehouse visuals and Columbus Short’s earnest, determined characterization. In the latter half of the film, it felt like a non-humorous version of Die Hard. No dig intended: I mean…

Movie review : Transylmania
—
Transylmania What WAS this? Somewhere between a soft porn flick and a teen-humor gross-out gag film. The movie seems to want to fall into the American Pie and Something About Mary genres. Don’t be fooled. The script lacks their cleverness but piles on the bodily humor. There are boobies, penises, farts, vomiting, midgets, pot parties,…

Movie review : Everybody’s Fine
—
Everybody’s Fine Buy the soundtrack for Everybody’s Fine Purchase at Amazon.com Another ho-hum movie. Nothing much to say about it, either good or bad. This is a watered down performance from Robert De Niro. Times used to be that De Niro in a movie meant something. But de Niro playing an old man/father is something…

Movie review : Brothers
—
Brothers [ Spoilers ahead ] This really pisses me off. The previews made the story up to be about an affair between a wife and her husband’s brother while the husband is off fighting in Afghanistan. But there wasn’t an affair. It was nothing but a kiss? Just a kiss? The real drama came from…

Movie review : Up In The Air
—
Up In The Air Buy the soundtrack for Up In The Air Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com A very enjoyable movie. Plenty of laughs and the story doesn’t trod down Predictability Lane. It’s a little difficult to associate with the characters since they lead rather unconventional lives. But the issues they face are similar…

Movie review : Old Dogs
—
Old Dogs Buy the soundtrack for Old Dogs Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon.com I didn’t expect much out of this movie. It seemed to me that I had probably seen everything worth seeing in the previews. Fortunately I was wrong. There were a few good and funny scenes that they saved for us. The…
