The Sitter
The Sitter is basically an R-rated re-interpretation of the 1987 classic Adventures in Babysitting. The original featured a reluctant babysitter taking her charges on an adventure through the streets of…
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1
Yes, I was indeed among the masses who helped Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part One reap nearly $140 Million at the box office in its opening weekend. And I make…
Tower Heist
The trailer for Tower Heist makes it look like an Oceans Eleven-esque comedy ensemble thievery pic. And guess what? That’s exactly what it is, only not as good. On the…
In Time
The “Occupiers” of Wall Street and throughout the world should take a massive field trip to see this movie. I have a feeling they'd like it - a lot. It…
Johnny English Reborn
I didn’t see the first Johnny English movie in 2003, so I have no basis for comparison. But I think I can safely say if you liked that one, you’ll…
The Mighty Macs
Weak as it may be dramatically, it’s hard not to appreciate and support The Mighty Macs – mostly because it’s all-too rare that we see a sports movie featuring women…
Killer Elite
We’re late to the party on Killer Elite. But it’s certainly not a chick flick and frankly, it will probably be out of theaters faster than Jason Statham could kick…
Drive
What happens when a Hollywood action flick collides with an artsy indie? You get Drive, a movie that will either crash and burn at the box office or earn a…
Warrior

Contagion
If you’re a germaphobe, then run – don’t walk- to the nearest exit. And wash your hands. Twice. While Contagion is most definitely a thought-provoking movie, it’s not much fun…
Cowboys & Aliens
If you like westerns and you like sci-fi then trust me, you’ll like Cowboys & Aliens. It really is that simple. This movie is a strange hybrid that somehow works,…
Captain America: The First Avenger
Holy androstenedione, Batman! Or whatever else it is that’s in the experimental serum that transforms a scrawny kid from Brooklyn into the ultra-buff Super-Soldier known as “Captain America.” He’s really…
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- Part Two
When Part One left us hanging back in November of last year, it seemed so cruel to have to wait until July 2011 for the epic finale of Harry Potter…
Super 8
Super 8 is a blast from the past – especially for those of us who, um, grew up in the 1970s. The movie takes place in a small Ohio town…
X-Men: First Class
This movie is everything a prequel should be: entertaining in its own right and true to the characters we’ve come to know in the previous franchise films. For the uninitiated,…
