  • “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters” Movie Review

    “Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters” Movie Review

    (Exciting, Funny, Gory) – – Bodies blow up, people are dismembered, heads are squished and blown off:  blood and gore (albeit not awfully graphic) flow as do the wisecracks and action.  “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters” is definitely NOT for kids.  It is R rated for a reason (including the f-words which are used very effectively). One…

    “Parker” Movie Review

    (Burglary, Bullets, Blood, Bodies) – – Jason Statham (as Parker) is cool as ice and tough as nails as a bad guy with morals.  If you do what you say are are going to do, you are fine, if you don’t……you are dead. After stealing $1 million from the Ohio State Fair, the bad guys…

    Bradley Cooper (as Pat) has just spent 8 months in a local mental institution.  He comes home with the promise of attending therapy on a regular basis, but, he refuses to take his medication.  This refusal results in several very uncomfortable blow-ups which graphically show the trials and tribulations of living with mental illness.  Cooper…

    “Jack Reacher” Movie Review

    (Thrilling Thriller) – – For those who do not know, I also write a Book Review Blog where I review…..Thrillers.  Unfortunately, with so many authors, and so many books, I have yet to read Lee Child (even though I have several of the Jack Reacher series in the queue).   Sooo, this movie (much like…

  • Video: Man Eats Entire Hobbit Menu at Denny’s

    I could barely eat one of these plates of food from the Hobbit menu at Denny’s.  And this guy looks way better than me!  Go figure… – – Drive Safe!  Never Forget.

  • “The Guilt Trip” Movie Review

    “The Guilt Trip” Movie Review

    (Fluffy Fun) – – Seth Rogan (as Andrew Brewster) is a highly educated organic chemist who invented a safe, sustainable, liquid cleaner that cleans better than any existing product.  He is actively promoting the product to some of the biggest stores without success. His overly technical pitch is boring…zzzzzz. Planning a cross-country trip to pitch…

  • “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.…
