    “The Amazing Spider-Man” Movie Review

    Except for a few changes and a new bad guy….this movie is just, to me anyway, a redone Spiderman.  Same old same old. You know the story…a less nerdy Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) gets bitten by a super spider, he gains some really cool powers, beats up his High School bullies, fights evil, and has…

  • “Seeking a Friend for the End of the World” Movie Review

    (Heavy, Thought Provoking, Well Acted) – – A very heavy topic dealing with what people will have to go through in the future (hopefully, not the near future), but, it will happen.  One day, Earth will collide with another space rock, and life on Earth may, once again, have to start over.  Think Dinosaurs. If…

    (Thrilling, Enthralling, EPIC) – – Wow!

    “Madagascar 3” Movie Review

    (Fun for Kids, Snooze Worthy for Parents) – – I want to snooze it snooze it….halfway through the movie I heard an unusual buzzing sound on my left.  I looked over and saw Lori snoring away!  I then looked around and saw several parents with tilted heads apparently, also, in sleep mode.  Very funny.  But…..the kids (and…

    “Snow White and the Huntsman” Movie Review

  • “Men in Black 3” Movie Review

    “Men in Black 3” Movie Review

      – – There is one secret the universe does not know about.  But to find out what that is, you have to ride a somewhat uneven MIB3 all the way to the end.  At times MIB3 is funny and exciting, at times it is boring, and at times it is poignant. An escaped prisoner travels…

    – – Tapping an unlimited power source being investigated by scientists at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Thor’s (Chris Hemsworth) evil ambitious brother, Loki (played by Tom Hiddleston) joins forces with a powerful alien world to attack Earth via an access portal.

  • “The Five-Year Engagement” Movie Review

    “The Five-Year Engagement” Movie Review

    (Funny, Quiet, True Life) – – Gotta say this movie was much better than I thought it was going to be.  The audience in the theater was small but vocal (turns out our friend Melanie and her friend were cheering, laughing, and interacting as much as we were…how funny). Tom Solomon (Jason Segel) and Violet…
