    “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” Movie Review

    “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” Movie Review Update 1/14/2016: Today we lost Alan Rickman….Snape.  You are terribly missed.

    “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” Movie Review

      Apparently, the race to the moon in the 60’s was spurred by the crash of an alien spacecraft on the moon.  The U.S.A. wanted to get there first. Since I remember watching the landing on TV, the scenes of that historic event were really cool.  I had no idea that Armstrong and Aldrin found…

    “X2” Movie Review

      UPDATE: On April 24, 2024 we STREAMED this movie on Disney+. 13 years after our original viewing and review below, “X2” is still excellent but a lot more confusing, with a lot more moving parts, than “X-Men”. On our quest to watch all the X-Men movies before the next one comes out…this was #2.…

    “Pirates of the Caribbean – On Stranger Tides” Movie Review

    “Pirates of the Caribbean – On Stranger Tides” Movie Review  (fun action, but…the “magic” is fading) Johnny Depp still rocks as Captain Jack Sparrow, but, other than Barbosa (Geoffrey Rush) and Gibbs (Kevin McNally) returning, I REALLY missed the other characters we have come to know and love. Penelope Cruz is beautiful (as are the…

    Movie Review: “Fast Five”

      After an exciting escape from a prison bound bus, Vin Diesel (as Dominic Toretto) and team gather in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to take down the most powerful man in town…Joaquim de Almeida (as Reyes). The lure of making $100 million (split about 10 ways) made the job of taking down Reyes worthwhile. Unfortunately, an…
