Mainstream Chick’s 2013 Year in Review
I don’t particularly like lists – especially where movies are concerned because so much depends on what you're hoping to gain, and the kind of mood you’re in. I generally…
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is based very loosely on a James Thurber short story. As a lover of old films, I fondly remember the Danny Kaye version from…
Frozen
Frozen feels a lot like a broadway musical converted into a Disney animated movie. And that’s just fine by me. Case in point: Okay, so the powerful voice of Idina…
Saving Mr. Banks
Saving Mr. Banks is a thoroughly enjoyable film that doesn’t fit into any particular genre. It’s a 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' blend of drama, wit and biopic, inspired by true events. The film…
The Best Man Holiday
The Best Man Holiday is a chick flick wrapped in a male-bonding movie. It’s a drama. A comedy. A romantic drama. A romantic comedy. A sports movie. A reunion movie.…
Enough Said
Enough Said is really Julia Louis Dreyfus’ movie. She shines as Eva, a funny, cynical, hard-working masseuse who could probably use a massage or two to de-stress. But as soon…

Blue Jasmine
What if Bernie Madoff was a younger, better looking man who left behind a beautiful yet clueless wife to fend for herself? That's the basic premise of Woody Allen's latest,…
The Way, Way Back
I first saw The Way, Way Back way back in early May. I loved it then. And I think I love it even more now (considering the array of films…
In the House (Dans la maison)
In the House is one of the more enjoyable films I have seen lately. It is described as a thriller, which leads you to believe it is more serious than…
Man of Steel
The new "Superman" movie is getting some mixed reviews, but here’s the real deal on the Man of Steel: It’s definitely worth seeing – just keep your expectations in check…
The Internship
The Internship isn’t bad – or good. It's just weak. Fans of the Vince Vaughn-Owen Wilson classic The Wedding Crashers will recognize the characters and the shtick. So change the…
Before Midnight
Step one: If you haven’t already, go rent/watch Before Sunrise (1995) Step two: If you haven’t already, go rent/watch Before Sunset (2004) Step three: If you haven’t already, go see…
