“Backwards” Movie Review
(Sweet) – – Abi Brooks (played by Sarah Megan Thomas) is an Olympic level rower. In the last Olympics she was an alternate. This four year period, she worked extra hard and did everything the coach asked of her. Unfortunately, at nearly 30, she was once again the alternate. Not wanting that, she quit and…

“Gravity” Movie Review
(Mesmerizing) – – “Gravity” is mesmerizing. Spectacular special effects, and acting, bring the terror of being lost in space to life. Sandra Bullock (as engineer Ryan Stone) is at her very best. George Clooney (as Astronaut Matt Kowalski) is also excellent, but, there is no doubt…..this movie belongs to Bullock. When debris from an accidental…

“Don Jon” Movie Review
– – ******This review is rated R. You have been warned. ****** Joseph Gordon-Levitt (as Jon) wrote and directed this very unique groundbreaking movie. Gordon-Levitt is an extraordinary actor.

“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…
