No Strings Attached (2011– 108 mins) A. Kutcher, N. Portman “No Strings Attached” is a straightforward and simple rom-com from fabled comedic director/producer Ivan Reitman. It’s been quite a while since he directed anything decent but I am glad to say he’s back on track with this one. What we have here are two people […]

Blue Valentine (2010– 112 mins) Michelle Williams, Ryan Gosling Blue Valentine is a polarizing movie. Most people either LOVE it or HATE it. Some people started the hate b/c of the explicit sex scenes in the movie. Myself? I hate it for the missing story points which lead to large plot holes and more questions […]

Casino Jack (2010– 108 mins) K. Spacey, B. Pepper, J. Lovitz Casino Jack is the high rise and low crash and burn story of  Jack Abramoff, a (former) hot shot government lobbyist. Jack is one of the quick talkers who works all the angles. He’s got his hands in everyone’s pocket playing the congress game. […]

Little Fockers (2010– 98 mins) B. Stiller, R. Dr Niro In “Meet The Parents” all Gaylord (Greg) Focker wants to do is win over the parents of his future wife and to be loved by all. There are multiple misunderstandings leading to tons of embarassment humor and non trust by Jack Burns until he realizes […]

The Green Hornet (2011–119 mins) S. Rogen, J. Chou, C. Diaz Before I get into the plot and my thoughts on The Green Hornet I want to remind the world of something… This The Green Hornet, NOT Batman, NOT Superman, and NOT Ironman. It’s not a story that is meant to be a blockbuster or […]

Skyline (2010–94 mins) E. Balfour, Scottie Thompson It’s no big secret that I am a fan of Sci-Fi and Fantasy movies, games, and TV, so when I go to watch new ones in these genres I tend to give them a notch up immediately before even starting to watch. I hadn’t heard much about Skyline […]

Winter’s Bone (2010– 100 mins)  J. Lawrence, J. Hawkes As has been the theme over the last couple of weeks, I have again grabbed ANOTHER best picture nominee to watch this past weekend. It seems like a never ending affair but that’s what happens when they nominate TEN movies for the big award. This time […]

Monsters (2010– 94 mins) Scoot McNairy, Whitney Able Monsters is an interesting little known Indie movie. It appears on the surface to be a low budget sci-fi monster movie in which a NASA probe which has collected alien samples has crashed in Mexico and a new species has emerged on our planet. Sure on the […]

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008- 166mins ) B. Pitt, C. Blanchett, T. Swinton So with the supply of new movies a bit low this weekend I decided to get an older (well only 2 years older) movie from ye olde red box. I had never seen Benjamin Button so I figured I would […]

Black Swan (2010–108mins) N. Portman, M. Kunis, V. Cassel And so the best picture nom watching continues with “Black Swan”, as well as the winner for Best leading actress for Natalie Portman. First a little about the plot. Portman plays Nina, a ballet dancer who is completely devoted to her craft. So much so that […]
