“Jobs” Movie Review
(Fascinating History Lesson) – – 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…

“Elysium” Movie Review
(Powerful, Gritty, Prophetic?) – – I read the book “Inferno” by Dan Brown earlier this year. In that book, the researcher who sparks the worldwide search for his creation warns the world about the dangers of over population. “Elysium” vividly shows how over population can drastically change human nature. The few haves (the rich) live…

“Shooter” Movie Review
(Wahlberg Rocks) – – Since Mark Wahlberg is fast becoming one of our favorites, we decided to watch an older Walhberg movie last night on VUDU. “Shooter” is a terrific thriller definitely worth the rent. Wahlberg is an ex-Marine sniper extraordinaire. His last combat action ended badly as he lost his best friend and realized…

“2 Guns” Movie Review
(Fun Buddy Movie) – – After reading the reviews, I was not sure I wanted to go see “2 Guns”. Overcoming my trepidation (because of Wahlberg) I am glad we went! I have no idea what the reviewers reviewed, but, I suspect they did not watch this movie, as their reviews were way off base.…

“Lars and the Real Girl” Movie Review
– – Ryan Gosling (as Lars Lindstrom) is outstanding as a shy young man suffering from a very interesting delusion. Lacking a real girlfriend, and also lacking the social skills to find one, Lars (with the help of a friend) orders a lifesize, anatomically correct, doll to be delivered to his house. “Bianca” arrives and…

“Red 2” Movie Review
(GREAT Movie) — — Most of the original cast is back for another rousing edition of Retired Extremely Dangerous ex-CIA killers. Red 2 is funny and thrilling….a perfect summer getaway movie. Frank (Bruce Willis) and his over eager girlfriend Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker) have settled into retirement. Frank is a Costco fanboy and is taking care…

“The Lone Ranger” Movie Review
(Hi Ho Silver Ahoy) – – Visiting a travelling museum a little kid stands by as an old Indian exhibit comes to life and tells him the story of the Lone Ranger. And quite a story it is. District Attorney John Reid (Armie Hammer) is on a train out west when outlaw Butch Cavendish (William…

“Monsters University” Movie Review
(Monstrously Fun) – – In this prequel to the 2001 Monsters Inc. hit movie, we join Mike (Billy Crystal) and Sullivan, or Sulli, (John Goodman) as they attend Monsters University as potential Scare students. The only problem is…..Sulli is scary but too cool to study, while Mike is studious but not scary. They both get…

“Superman Man of Steel” Movie Review
(Half Great, Half Not) – – The first half, or a little more, of this movie was fantastic. The second half (maybe a little less) was overly complicated, the fight scenes were somewhat silly, and the movie dragged on for a very long time. A new Superman (Henry Cavill) escapes Krypton with the help of…
