Let’s Review: DREDD 3D

Where to start? Judge Dredd is badass, just like other Karl Urban characters LOTR’s Eomer and Riddick’s Vaako. I wasn’t familiar with his name, and after looking him up on IMDB, I realized that I have seen him in so many … Continue reading

Let’s Review: END OF WATCH

The story was pretty good. From the trailer, I had thought that the whole movie was Jake Gyllenhaal (Brian Taylor) and Michael Peña (Mike Zavala) trapped in a house and how they have to get out. But it’s not! There’s … Continue reading

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: THE POSSESSION

I’ll be honest and say I’m not a horror aficionado, especially those of a religious nature, but I braved up and screened this one, just for you. I will say I was not horrified, scream, wet my pants or run … Continue reading

Let’s Review: THE LUCKY ONE

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

Let’s Review:The Pirates! Band of Misfits

While this looks like a cute animated feature for kids, the language and style of humor was for a much older audience. Most of the  references and jokes will go way over their heads, but the adults will get a … Continue reading

Let’s Review: JEFF, WHO LIVES AT HOME

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
