2 Guns
Full disclosure: I will go see anything with Marky Mark, um, I mean Mark Wahlberg in it. Don’t judge. Everybody’s got their something. That doesn’t mean I like everything he’s…
The Paperboy
My newspaper headline for The Paperboy would be: “Hot Mess” and not in a good, kinda campy way. It’s a creepy, sweaty melodrama set in the Florida Everglades circa 1969…
Looper
Looper is where mobsters and sci-fi meet, a smart time-traveling action movie. Set in the near future, in a gritty city somewhere in the mid-West, the mob of the further…
Hotel Transylvania
Hotel Transylvania is a delightful little getaway -- of the animated, cinematic variety. You can check in anytime you want, on one condition, you must be a monster. Humans are…
The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure
I love a good kids' movie. I will even go see one alone if I can't find a little buddy to take me along. But The Oogieloves in the Big…
Cosmopolis

The Five-Year Engagement
The Five-Year Engagement picks up where most rom-coms leave off -- with the proposal. Tom (Jason Segel) pops the question to Violet (Emily Blunt) exactly a year after they meet…
Marley
Of course a documentary about Bob Marley would be released on 4/20 and if you don’t get why, this might not be the movie for you. That’s a joke actually…
Big Miracle
Big Miracle is a harmless family film. If you’re looking for a nice, wholesome movie to take the kids to this weekend, this is a fine choice. But if you…
Young Adult
Young Adult has been out for a little while now, but it’s definitely worth seeing if it’s still in a theater near you or renting when it becomes available. Just…
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is one of those movies to which close attention must be paid. It is a dense story full of twists, turns and quiet intrigue. There are…
