(Raunchy Brainless Fun) — — It is a relatively safe bet that if you go to a Seth Rogan movie you are going to a funny,raunchy affair. No difference here. “Neighbors”  is not an Oscar winning film, but, rather a movie you can get away from reality for a couple of hours. Not boring, fun,…

(Not Amazing) — — Not good when my mind drifted during the movie to the mantra “Where is Tobey?”  This version of Spider-Man, although more accurately depicting the comics, is juvenile, goofy, and predictable. Andrew Garfield is Spider-Man / Peter Parker, and is VERY busy saving almost everyone who needs saving in the metropolis.  He…

(Powerful) — — Mud (Matthew McConaughey) is a drifter wanted by the authorities for the murder of the boyfriend of the woman he loves, Juniper (Reese Witherspoon). Two boys (Tye Sheridan as Ellis, and Jacob Lofland as Neckbone) ride their boat to an island where they claim a boat in a tree as their own.…

Leslie Mann (as Kate King) is the wife who Diaz meets when she decides to surprise her wonderful guy at his home. Kate pursues a friendship with…

— — Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and Falcon (Anthony Mackie) fight evil forces from WWII and a very powerful opponent, the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan). Sleeper agents have been sitting inside S.H.I.E.L.D for years and years waiting to be activated. That time has come, and no…

 (The Bible meets Transformers) — — The cast is good,  the action is good,  the script leaves a lot to be desired. Emma Watson rocks, and so does Russell  Crow as a slightly deranged Noah. It was #1 in the box office this weekend. — Drive Safe!  Never Forget.

(ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ) – – Other than a catchy tune, “The Lego Movie” is sleep inducing terrible. I fell asleep several times, and Lori took a nice relaxing snooze as well.  Leaving the movie several adults were talking about how awful it was.  One mimicked putting her finger down her throat. What the heck are the critics…
