Unknown (2011– 113 mins) L. Neeson, D. Kruger, J.

Take Me Home Tonight (2011– 97 mins) T. Grace, A. Faris, T. Palmer “Take Me Home Tonight” gets in that line of high school/college shenanigans movies. Think most any high school movie in which there is a quiet/geeky guy in high school who had a crush and sees her later and wants to score […]

Source Code (2011– 93 mins) J. Gyllenhaal, M. Monaghan, V. Farmiga Source Code is another movie in a long line of movies I didn’t really want to see, and I didn’t want to like, but was actually pretty good. Looking at the trailer it looks to be a bit formulaic, long drawn out race against […]

Season of the Witch (2011– 95 mins) Nic Cage, Ron Perlman Behmen and Felson (Cage and Perlman) are knights of epic fighting proportion, who get tired of all the needless innocent slaying during their tours of duty in the crusades and unenlist themselves from the service to the self proclaimed mouth of God.

The Adjustment Bureau (2011–106 mins) M. Damon, E. Blunt So even tho I put “Inception” on my top 5 for last year based on the 10 movies the Academy had up for the best picture, it’s no secret it’s not a favorite of mine. So naturally when I saw all the previews and all the […]
