    “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.

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

    “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…

  • “The Internship” Movie Review

    “The Internship” Movie Review

    (Google-y Fun) – – What time is it? Since you probably did not look at your wrist to answer that question explains why Owen Wilson (as Nick Campbell) and Vince Vaughn (as Billy McMahon) are newly unemployed with few skills to be successful in the workplace. Billy is searching online when he stumbles upon a…

  • “Fast & Furious 6” Movie Review

    “Fast & Furious 6” Movie Review

    (Fast Furious Fun) – – Vin Diesel (as Dominic Toretto) personifies cool.  Paul Walker (as Brian O’Conner) is a changed man.  Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (as Hobbs) is ripped and pumped.  Michelle Rodriguez  (as Letty) and Gina Carano (as Riley) are tough as nails. The rest of the cast fills in the gaps, making “Fast &…
