Skyfall
I’m not a huge Bond aficionado. I can probably count on one hand the number of 007 movies that I’ve actually seen in their entirety. But I can say this:…
Premium Rush
Premium Rush is a fun ride – on two wheels- without brakes. It’s sort of like Speed on a bicycle. The film moves at a steady clip, doesn’t make you…
The Bourne Legacy
Confession time: I have only seen the first Jason Bourne movie and that wasn’t until it was on basic cable. So I am not fully versed in the Bourne backstory.…
Man on a Ledge
Man on a Ledge is one of those movies that holds your attention and ultimately entertains, even if it does fade from memory a short time later. The less you…
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Three of the most popular books of 2008-2010 were Stieg Larssen's Millennium Trilogy. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first book and there is already one great movie…
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…

If you're just dying to see how Wall Street crashed and burned in 2008 from the insider view, then Margin Call is the movie for you. Set inside a firm…
Martha Marcy May Marlene
You may not be able to remember the title, but you certainly won’t forget the movie. Martha Marcy May Marlene is one of those films that you find yourself still…
Paranormal Activity 3
Once again, Guest Horror Chick Meghan stepped in to cover this one for us. Here's her review: Paranormal Activity 3 is a prequel to the first two PAs and is…
The Ides of March
The Ides of March is a decent adult drama, but it’s also a depressing commentary on the state of our political system. It doesn’t really matter if you’re a republican,…
Straw Dogs
Note: Mainstream, Arty and Adventurous Chick aren't exactly fans of the horror genre. So we recruited a chick who actually digs the stuff to check out "Straw Dogs" on Chickflix'…
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…
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…
