Let’s Review: WON’T BACK DOWN

Technically its genre is “drama” but it’s really not too dramatic. It’s very real, from Maggie Gyllenhaal’s quirky and slightly manic character, to Viola Davis’ seriousness. After The Help, I was convinced of Davis’ power, and here I believe it … Continue reading

Let’s Review: SPARKLE

It’s Dreamgirls with a hint of the Tina Turner story plus dead Whitney Houston. The costumes are fabulous, the songs are OK, the acting is subpar and the directing was just ridiculous. Am I glad I didn’t pay to see … Continue reading

Ahh, another Nicholas Sparks original. If you like his other stuff (The Notebook, Dear John, A Walk to Remember), you will undoubtedly enjoy this one, too. The story is boy finds picture, boy meets the girl in the picture, they … Continue reading

It’s quirky. It’s life-like. It’s kinda boring in some parts, but really funny in others. It’s only83 minutes long. I would not have wanted to pay to see it…maybe a 99 cent rental if you think you really want to. … Continue reading

Let’s Review: THE WOMAN IN BLACK

As far as scary movies go, this one hits most of the hot spots: 1900s-looking toys (including clowns), taxidermied monkeys, little girls with blank stares in 1900s-looking dresses and bows, and tense moments where something/someone pops out suddenly. Cliché? Maybe … Continue reading

Let’s Review: HAYWIRE

I’m still trying to work out what happened… HAYWIRE is definitely not your typical secret agent/”private contracting company”/government agency/double-crossed spy movie. The style is different. For example, there are silent chase scenes with just music. The fight scenes are pretty … Continue reading
