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…
Star Trek Into Darkness
I enjoyed Star Trek Into Darkness, but I wouldn’t call it a “must-see” unless you’re a true Trekkie – or, at the very least, a casual fan of the TV…
A Good Day to Die Hard
The fifth time is not the charm for the hugely successful Die Hard franchise. A Good Day to Die Hard is, without a doubt, the weakest of the bunch –…
Men in Black 3
The third MIB is definitely not the charm. It’s the weakest of the bunch, mostly because it’s not particularly funny, dramatic or cool – elements that helped make the original…
Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol
Mission Implausible is more like it. But no matter – this movie isn’t really about plot or plausibility. It’s about cool stunts and stunning imagery. So if you’re into the…
A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas
It seems way too early for a “Christmas” movie, but to release A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas any later would be like re-releasing Bambi on opening day of…
Johnny English Reborn
I didn’t see the first Johnny English movie in 2003, so I have no basis for comparison. But I think I can safely say if you liked that one, you’ll…
Fast Five
Full disclosure. I didn’t see the original Fast and Furious movie- or the three sequels that followed. So I watched Fast Five without any frame of reference. But that’s okay…

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…
The A-Team
I don't remember much about The A-Team television show from the 1980s. I do remember my little brother was a big fan of the crew of misfits who traveled around…
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…
