Bruce Willis has still got it. I know I wasn’t very nice about A Good Day to Die Hard (believe me, I really TRIED, because I love the man and the franchise so much!), but this one is a winner. I might even go so far as to say this was better than the first […]

Review: Pacific Rim
I was not going to see this movie. I thought it was Transformers, underwater, and I thought it looked pretty lame and unoriginal, but after the reviews started coming in (and after I realized the hottie from Sons of Anarchy (Charlie Hunnam) was in it!), I decided to give it a shot. Totally. Worth. It. […]
Review: The Conjuring
I’m not a horror movie person. But I grew up when movies like Dracula: 2000, Valentine, and Halloween H20 were coming out. Not to put down any of those–they were among the better ones at the time (plus they’ve got some super people in them)–but compared to a “real” horror movie, they were a little […]
Review: 2 Guns
The title pretty much sums it up. It’s a pretty violent flick. But, it was pretty entertaining, too. Denzel Washington plays Bobby, an undercover DEA agent trying to bring down a Mexican drug cartel, led by Edward James Olmos’s character Papi, with his partner, an undercover US Navy Intelligence officer, Stig, played by Mark Wahlberg. […]
Review: Fruitvale Station
Indie movies. Some of them are done to perfection, and some of them fail and should remain out of the spotlight forever. This one was the former. Another movie based on a true story, this one told that story in wonderful detail, and raised all the right questions. I almost didn’t get to see this […]
Review: Wanderlust
I had really wanted to see this when it came out, so I was thrilled when I found it on HBO. It was a joy to see Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd together again, and not in a relationship that can never happen (see 1998: The Object of My Affection). The movie begins with the […]
Review: The Five-Year Engagement
This was such a sweet movie. We all know I love Jason Segel, but I’m a big Emily Blunt fan too, so this was kind of a no-brainer. The premise seems a little ridiculous, and the movie does get lost at times during the five year setting. Tom (Segel) proposes to Violet (Blunt) right at […]
Review: Olympus Has Fallen
I don’t often say no to Gerard Butler or Morgan Freeman, so as soon as I saw Butler was playing the hero in this film, I bought in. The movie gets off to a very rocky start, and opens with Butler as Mike Banning, a personal security detail on the President (Aaron Eckhart), on Christmas […]
Review: The Lone Ranger
I don’t know what people are complaining about with this movie. This thing has 25% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and I can’t see why 75% of reviewers hated this movie THAT MUCH. (I looked up the stat, but I didn’t read ANY reviews prior to writing my own.) What People May Not Like It […]
Review: Now You See Me
Incredibly, I didn’t hear about this movie until about a week or two before it was released. I wasn’t sure about it until I saw Morgan Freeman go on The Daily Show to promote it. He didn’t spend much time talking about the movie, but it convinced me to give it a shot. I’m happy […]
