Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The (2011) Movie Review (3.5/4 Stars)

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:58:19 -0500

With a tone-setting opening credits sequence to a darkly atmospheric score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is an unrelenting and intense thriller that had me on the edge of my seat. A mysterious modern whodunit; as the story slowly unravels it becomes more and more gruesome and mysterious; grabs you and doesn't let go for the next hour and a half. I did not read t... read more

Exactly how far would YOU go to prove you are innocent of a crime? Assault a police officer? Arrange a heist? Stand on the ledge of a building 17 stories up while a helicopter hovers nearby, threatening to whoosh you right off? Now that I�ve basically summed up the plot of �Man on a Ledge�, let�s discuss if it�s worth seeing , or if you will spend 90 minutes wishing YOU could jump off a tall bui... read more

Darkest Hour, The Movie Review (1.5/4 Stars)

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:01:58 -0500

I don't know why this film had 3-D. No reason for it. Emile Hirsch was amazing in Into The Wild. I think he is a good actor. He was not a good fit in this film because he is a good actor. He does not deserve this kind of material. This movie had a little suspense but no where near enough to make it even a so so movie.. The story fell flat. Not a good movie.

Joyful Noise Movie Review (3/4 Stars)

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 17:51:38 -0500

The music is great. This is a fun, entertaining, and uplifting film. Corny and chessy works in this movie because of the story and the music. The jokes are a little over the top to call it a full on inspirational film but still has a very good message. I was in a theater full of people who was really into this movies. Lots of cheers and clapping. It was a fun movie experience. Good movie.

Underworld Awakening Movie Review (3.5/4 Stars)

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:32:46 -0500

I have enjoyed all of the Underworld movies, and "Underworld Awakening" moves the series forward with plenty of action, extreme gore and solid special effects. The plot is servicable, but its the intense action the rules the day here. Kate Beckinsale continues to be one of the coolest, toughest and sexiest vampires ever. I saw the movie in IMAX 3D, which greatly enhanced the action sequences ... read more

Red Tails Movie Review (2/4 Stars)

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:12:40 -0500

According to several articles I have read lately, it has been George Lucas� intention to make a film about the Tuskagee Airmen since the 1980�s, but he hasn�t been able to find a studio that would support it, claiming that audiences wouldn�t be interested in seeing a movie with an all black cast. I don�t know if they really believed that or if they were just too afraid to tell George that his sc... read more

Iron Lady, The Movie Review (3/4 Stars)

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:07:36 -0500

An okay script and film is strengthened by a huge performance by Meryl Streep, who embodies Margaret Thatcher so much there were times I thought I was actually looking at Thatcher herself. It's not just the look she gets down, but also the voice, mannerisms, and posture to a point where the line between the two gets thin. While the previews make it look like a biopic, the film is actually a drama... read more

Adventures of Tintin, The Movie Review (3/4 Stars)

Sun, 22 Jan 2012 11:15:00 -0500

Tintin, a young journalist, and his dog Snowy embark in an adventure with a parchment scroll. He meets Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine and Haddock along the way. Details from the reflections of the suns rays, hair of the skin of Haddock, the water and more were just radiant. The pace in my opinion felt rushed to portray the various gorgeous settings. Also, I'm not a fan of swift conclusions and hin... read more

Haywire (2012) Movie Review (3/4 Stars)

Sat, 21 Jan 2012 23:13:15 -0500

This is a different take on the usual spy/thriller genre that has been done to death. It has a more artistic approach to the presentation and the story is less complicated and more straight to the point. Nothing but an absolute sense of realism from every area, especially the well shot fight scenes that pack a punch. An enjoyable and non-filling piece of solid entertainment. A refreshing brea... read more

Underworld Awakening Movie Review (1/4 Stars)

Sat, 21 Jan 2012 00:15:13 -0500

It had some cool killings, but was lacking in every other aspect. A dumb dumb action movie, with little plot/story and hardly any connection with the series. I just couldn't give in and enjoy it, because it felt like I was watching one of the 'Resident Evil' movies, which are essentially video game action moments cobbled together. The only entertainment I got out of this flick came from me mak... read more
