Leap Year (2010 100mins)  Amy Adams, Matthew Goode This probably won’t be a real long review. Mainly this is a romantic comedy from the usual mold of romantic comedies. It’s not great, it’s not bad, it has some funny moments but it’s what you expect from the beginning. This will however, bring me to the […]

The Book of Eli (2010, 118mins) Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, Mila Kunis Eli is a movie about a man with a mysterious book and on a mysterious journey. Eli (Washingon) is in a post-apocalyptic world (not unlike the movie The Road) in which the world is in ruins from an unknown cause. All we know is Eli […]

Love Happens (2009 , 109 mins)  Aaron Eckhart, Jennifer Aniston Love Happens is a story about a very successful,widower, self help guru who has not quite gotten over the accidental death of his wife. It’s a story mainly about a man who can help people but cannot help himself. When he meets Aniston we half […]

Brooklyn’s Finest (2009, 132 min)  Gere, Cheadle, Hawke Antoine Fuqua directs such a long and dark drama, that I actually had to ask if this was a Scorsese flick. The movie follows 3 separate yet intertwining police stories in Brooklyn. Richard Gere is the elder flawed cop who is retiring in a week, Cheadle is the undercover cop who […]

Motherhood (Uma Thurman, Anthony Edwards) 90 minsv    Motherhood is a comedy about a hectic day in the life of a blogging/writing mom. Sounds simple and easy enough right? Well it would be if Uma played what the normal person considered a mom. Sure she has some common mom activities. Running from here to there […]

Shutter Island (DiCaprio, Kingsley, Ruffalo) 138 mins     The 1st thing to keep in mind about this psychological thriller is it was directed by Martin Scorsese.  So first of all naturally it stars Leo DiCaprio. Second it screws with your head the whole time. Which in this and his other films, keeps you interested. But, […]

She’s out Of My League  (Jay Baruchel, Alice Eve) 104 mins She’s out of My League is a Beauty and the Geek movie done to the predictable end, mixed with some John Hughes goodness. It’s a fun romp and funny with dialogue amongst the guys taken straight out of a Judd Apatow flick. Baruchel is […]

Valentines Day (A ton of stars, mainly Kutcher, J. Garner, P. Dempsey, T. Grace) 125 mins. This is a movie that will now get me on my soap box about movie critics. EVERY single movie review I have ever read about this movie was about how bad it was and how everyone mailed in their […]

Youth in Revolt (Michael Cera, Portia Doubleday,Jean Smart, Steve Buscemi) Youth in Revolt is a fairly funny movie in the Michael Cera sort of way. He’s an amazing intellectual actor and his delivery of deadpan comedic lines continue to crack me up. He plays his usual quirky socially awkward kid who has been alone or […]
