“Frozen” Movie Review
(Wonderful) – – Princess Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) has a special power. She can summon ice, snow, and cold with the wave of her hands. She and her younger sister, Anna (voiced by Kristen Bell), have fun playing in the instant snow and making snowmen. Unfortunately, Elsa is having a hard time controlling her…

“The Wolf of Wall Street” Movie Review
(Overly Long Debauchery) – – Superlative acting dragged under by lack of editing. What started out crack-ling good, ended up being way too long. As things started to get repetitious, cell phones started lighting up in the theater checking the time, and I actually looked at my phone wondering why we had to endure yet…

“The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” Movie Review
(Dreamy) – – I read the short story and it was interesting. The movie is a bit different, and obviously expanded, except for the fact that it deals with a somewhat timid man who escapes reality by daydreaming adventures. In the short story, Walter is escaping his domineering wife, in the movie he is escaping…

“Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues” Movie Review
(Stupid) – – I liked the original Anchorman. I did not like Anchorman 2. Ron Burgandy (Will Ferrell) and crew are off the New York to join a groundbreaking news organization specializing in 24 hour news coverage. GNN. Stuck in the 2 AM to 5 AM slot, Ron unknowingly sets the news world on fire…

In this episode, the dwarves and Bilbo set out through the Mirkwood Forest on the, relatively safe, Elf path toward their destination of Lonely Mountain where Thorin…

“Last Vegas” Movie Review
– – Hilarious if you are 50 plus and can relate to the humor. Interestingly, two teens next to us were also laughing. I just don’t know if they were laughing at us…or the movie. I suspect it was us. Haha. Four lifelong friends from Flatbush (The Flatbush 4) have moved on with their lives.…

“Delivery Man” Movie Review
(Surprisingly Good) – – The trailer that was shown on TV did not do justice to this movie. In fact, if it was not for Vince Vaughn (as David aka “Starbuck”), we would not have gone to see it. I’m glad we did, as “Delivery Man” was much better than I thought it would be:…

“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.…
