Prometheus
I really wanted to like Prometheus. Really I did. I have loved Ridley Scott movies in the past. Alien was groundbreaking. Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies ever.…
Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted
The third (and surely not the last) Madagascar movie picks up where the second one left off – I think. I didn’t see the second one. But that’s okay; I…
Snow White and the Huntsman
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest critic of them all? Okay, maybe that’s a loaded question. But I do call ‘em as I see ‘em. And I must…
Men in Black 3
The third MIB is definitely not the charm. It’s the weakest of the bunch, mostly because it’s not particularly funny, dramatic or cool – elements that helped make the original…
Battleship
I wasn't blown away by Battleship, though a lot of stuff does blow up real good! So if you like explosions galore and a bloodless (though high) body count, then…
Marvel’s The Avengers
I’m no comic book aficionado (far from it), but I really liked The Avengers. And that’s mostly because I really like watching Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man.…
The Hunger Games
May the odds be ever in your favor. Odds are, if that means anything to you at all, then this review is totally irrelevant – you’re going to see The…
21 Jump Street
Okay, this one is really quite simple. 21 Jump Street is cheesy, dorky and crude. But it's also kinda funny. So if you're a fan of Harold and Kumar-type humor,…
This Means War
This Means War could ignite a battle among critics – and debates among friends- because it’s not a great movie by any stretch, but it doesn’t suck either. It’s fine…
Man on a Ledge
Man on a Ledge is one of those movies that holds your attention and ultimately entertains, even if it does fade from memory a short time later. The less you…
Haywire
Mixed martial arts (MMA) superstar Gina Carano plays the lead and does all her own stunts in Steven Soderbergh's latest action flick Haywire, which comes off feeling kind of Bourne-lite.…
War Horse
A boy and his horse are at the center of this Steven Spielberg family drama, adapted from the Tony winning stage play, which was an adaptation of a children's book.…
The Adventures of Tintin
Isn’t Tintin supposed to be a dog? C’mon, I can’t be the only one who thought The Adventures of Tintin might be some new animated twist on the tales of…
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
They're baaack! Holmes and Watson (Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law) pick up slightly after we last saw them in the first Sherlock Holmes. Dr. Watson is about to be…
Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol
Mission Implausible is more like it. But no matter – this movie isn’t really about plot or plausibility. It’s about cool stunts and stunning imagery. So if you’re into the…
