  • “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” Movie Review

    “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” Movie Review

     (WAY better than the book) – – Where the book failed miserably, the movie succeeds beyond my wildest dreams. To think I almost did not want to go see it….what a mistake that would have been.  “Catching Fire” is a terrific movie providing the visuals and intensity that are almost completely lacking in the book.…

    “Before Midnight” Movie Review

    (Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah) – – “Is this over yet?”  “When is it going to end?”  Those were the conversation points while we were watching “Before Midnight”. “Before Midnight” is the third in a series of movies (we did not know this until the movie was already purchased on VUDU and halfway thru).  Start with…

  • “Jobs” Movie Review

    “Jobs” Movie Review

    I have said this many times over the years:  Steve Jobs (and the Woz) were not afraid to innovate.  They changed the world…..more than once.  The last speech in this movie brought me to tears. “Jobs” is a wonderful movie that I think is totally mis-understood by the non-techy, too young generation, of movie reviewers…

    “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” Movie Review

    – Teenage drinking, drugging, and then driving makes me cringe.  Arrrghh…. Beyond that, “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” is an excellent high school coming of age movie. Coming off a traumatic time both in middle school and personally) Charlie (played by Logan Lerman) starts high school alone.   He spends most days eating by…

  • “Les Miserables” Movie Review

    “Les Miserables” Movie Review

    – – Anne Hathaway’s solo that is heard (and seen briefly) in the trailer above is simply…BREATHTAKING.   Absolutely BREATHTAKING.  I was in tears, not from the sadness of the song, but, by the stunning performance of a truly talented actress…one that should get her an Oscar. “Les Miserables” is unique, Broadway worthy, movie entertainment.…

  • “The Words” Movie Review

    “The Words” Movie Review

    – – Reading the critic’s reviews, I wonder what movie they were watching, or, where their brains were during the movie.  I kind of suspect that if one “famous” critic gives a bad review, then the unthinking masses follow suit afraid to not rock the boat. Well….I am rocking the boat. “The Words” is an…
