The Lie
Sometimes you just need to see a movie that is not all flashy and star-filled. There is a strange joy in watching actors you've never seen before since you bring…
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…
Footloose
Ah, to be 16 again… if even for an hour or two. That’s kind of how I felt watching the soundtrack of my youth playing out on the big screen…
Moneyball
Moneyball is a slam dunk - oh wait, make that a grand slam – for baseball buffs. For those who don’t particularly care for the business of baseball, the movie…
I Don’t Know How She Does It
I Don’t Know How She Does It isn’t quite as bad as many of the reviews would suggest. But it is just mediocre in the (95 minute) moment - and…
One Day
Let’s face it. There haven’t been many (any?) good romantic dramas to weep through this summer. One Day attempts to fill the void. But alas, it misses the mark. The…
Friends with Benefits
Friends with Benefits is basically a beach-read romance novel come to life on the big screen. Not that there’s anything wrong with a little summer heat. If the premise sounds…
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,…
Bridesmaids
Bridesmaids really is like The Hangover with chicks. And like The Hangover, this smart adult comedy should appeal to both sexes because, well, it’s pretty darn funny - even when…
Something Borrowed
I opted to attend a screening of Something Borrowed as opposed to the surefire hit Thor because I was in the mood for a romantic dramedy and figured I paid…
Certified Copy
There are some movies that are nearly impossible to review because to tell the story is to give away (ruin) the experience of watching it. Certified Copy is one of…
Arthur
Arthur, oh where to start? It's a remake of the 1981 Academy Award winner. Yep, nominated for 4 and won 2. It starred Dudley Moore, Liza Minnelli and Sir John…

Source Code
Don’t be scared away by talk of quantum mechanics, complex mathematical equations, and computer source codes. You don’t have to understand any of that to enjoy this movie (trust me,…
Paul
Here’s the deal: If you’re old enough to remember – or at least have a fondness for movies like Alien, Close Encounters, E.T., Escape to Witch Mountain, and Galaxy Quest,…
Limitless
Limitless is okay, but The Adjustment Bureau is better. So if you’re wavering between the two, stick with TAB and Matt Damon. However, if you’ve already seen TAB and are…
