“Take Me Home Tonight” Movie Review
(fun coming of age movie) — — We watched this on VUDU and really enjoyed it. If I would have known how good this movie was when we went to see the awful “Rango”, we would have seen this movie instead. It’s 1988, and recent MIT engineering graduate, Topher Grace (as Matt Franklin) is working at a video store while

(tense, frightening, realistic) — — James Franco (as Will Rodman) is a brilliant scientist testing the effects of a drug he has developed to, hopefully, cure Alzheimer’s. The mission is personal since his father (the brilliant John Lithgow as Charles Rodman) has that disease. Franco’s latest breakthru is a chimp named “Bright Eyes”. But something goes horribly wrong and Bright

We have seen a number of great movies lately. When you are swept away in a world of fantasy for 2 hours while the cares of the real world drift away…that is a great movie. This is a great movie, complete with the most surprising twists I have seen, and the funniest 7 or 8 minutes EVER where the entire

“Captain America” Movie Review (Exciting, Engaging) Chris Evans (Steve Rogers / Captain America) is a skinny, small, sickly young man trying to enlist in the Army to help his country during WWII. Unfortunately, he is 4F. But he never gives up. Eventually, Stanley Tucci (Dr. Abraham Erskine) happens upon Rogers and gives him 1A status based simply on his desire.

You don’t know this, but, I LOVE Mr. Bean. I have watched the original Johnny English at least 20 times now (plus as many of the Mr. Bean stuff as I possibly can..). NOW…coming soon to a theater near ME! “Johnny English Reborn”…you know where I will be! — — Drive Safe! Never Forget.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” Movie Review (exciting end to a magical series) Update 1/14/2016: Today we lost Alan Rickman….Snape. You are terribly missed. Even though we knew what would be happening, it was magical to see the vision on the big screen. They made some changes from the book, but, it was all good. Harry, Hermione,

“Zookeeper” Movie Review (great family friendly movie!) I love this scene! The critics can take lessons in how to enjoy life. Hey….”Zookeeper” is not an Oscar worthy high brow serious movie. It IS a FUN family movie that kids and adults will both enjoy. It is funny, it is FUN, and it teaches a lesson: Be yourself. Kevin James (as

“Hitch” Movie Review (wholesome, heartwarming, fun) We pulled out an old DVD….I had forgotten how good this 2005 movie was… All you need is the confidence to approach the one you like. Hitch can help. Will Smith (Alex “Hitch” Hitchens), Kevin James (Albert Brennaman), Eva Mendes (Sara Meles) and Amber Valletta (Allegra Cole) are terrific. Good for the whole family.

“Transformers: Dark of the Moon” Movie Review (lots of action, funny, long, confusing) Apparently, the race to the moon in the 60’s was spurred by the crash of an alien spacecraft on the moon. The U.S.A. wanted to get there first. Since I remember watching the landing on TV, the scenes of that historic event were really cool. I had

“X-Men Origins: Wolverine” Movie Review (AWESOME!) We are all caught up (it only took us, what, 10 years?) after watching “Wolverine” on Blu-Ray this weekend. Simply put, this is the story of Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and his brother Victor Creed (Liev Schreiber) starting when they were kids then fighting in several wars (Civil, WWI, WWII, and as Mercenaries) and finally

“Bad Teacher” Movie Review (Cameron Diaz, Cameron Diaz, Cameron Diaz) “Bad Teacher” is a better movie than the trailer suggests. Cameron Diaz (as Elizabeth Halsey) is shallow. The only men who interest her are rich, and she thinks that increasing the size of her boobs will help her attract those men. As the movie opens, she is leaving her teaching job to marry
