The Other Guys
Hmmmm. This movie isn’t bad. But it sure is weird. My inclination is to say “skip it", but a lot of people laughed, a lot, during the course of this…
Charlie St. Cloud
I see dead people. Or, at least, I see Zac Efron seeing dead people in the fantasy romantic drama Charlie St. Cloud. The movie is part Ghost, part Ghost Whisperer…
Salt
Salt is an action-packed spy thriller that keeps you engaged and entertained, but doesn’t really break any new ground. Angelina Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA officer who goes on…
Ramona and Beezus
I loved Beverly Cleary books growing up. And now I remember why. They are filled with heart and humor and mischief and extremely relatable characters… especially if you’re a young…
Inception
How to describe Inception? It’s like a riddle wrapped inside an enigma that’s all part of a dream that’s made into a movie. If your brain hurts now, just wait…
The Karate Kid
The Karate Kid is best viewed through the eyes of today’s youth, as opposed to the eyes of aging fans (like me) of the original. I have a soft spot…

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Ka-Ching! There’s no way this franchise won’t continue to make millions (upon millions upon millions), no matter what the critics - or any Twilight naysayers- might have to say about…
Toy Story 3
I took my nephew to see Toy Story 2 back in 1999. He was three years old, and loved the movie (as much as a three-year-old can. He was a…
Shrek Forever After: The Final Chapter
The first Shrek was truly special; a twisted fairy tale with a fairy-tale twist that worked on so many levels- for kids and adults. The second Shrek was okay. Not…
Sex And The City 2
Did you enjoy the first Sex And The City movie? Did you gather up the gal pals (and maybe even some guy pals) to down a few cosmopolitans and watch…
Mother and Child
I’m not quite sure how I ended up watching Mother and Child instead of Shrek 4 this weekend, but I think it was the casting that ultimately roped me in.…
Letters To Juliet
Letters to Juliet is a total chick flick but (thankfully) not a weep-fest, so you can leave the tissues at home and bring on the popcorn! The consensus among the…
The Back-up Plan
If you liked Jennifer Lopez in The Wedding Planner or Maid in Manhattan, then you’ll surely like The Back-up Plan. It follows a satisfying romantic comedy formula, even if it…
Date Night
If you’re a couple enjoying a rare date night, don’t waste your time (and money) on this movie, unless you’re too tired to care that it’s pretty boring. Date Night…
