I normally shy away from romantic comedies. Most of the time they are not very good. Same story lines, same dull plots (guy likes girl or vice versa, looses girl, then gets her back again in the end), three or four of the same actresses over and over. Goofy side ...
Very good, but not spectacular. Monsters Vs. Aliens is sort of a cross between Monsters Inc. and War of the Worlds. A group of old time monsters team up to battle an alien determined to destroy the world. Funny at times and just amusing at other times, the movie was ...
The best treatment of big green so far. Far better than the 2003 Ang Lee version. Marvel made sure they handled this one the way the fans wanted. Not to complicated, straight forward, action, super hero film. As all the Marvel characters get aligned for the upcoming Avengers movie, the Hulk ...
In tribute to the late Patrick Swayze, I thought adding Dirty Dancing to the Modern Classics was a no-brainer. The older the the film gets, the more enduring it becomes. The initial reviews of this movie were mixed when it premiered in 1987. Now, it lives in immortality along with ...
Star studded, pretty good political thriller. Better than average on most fronts. It's a good story of an aging crusading journalist who is unwillingly teemed up with a young blogger to solve the death of female assistant to a Washington senator. As in most political murder mysteries, nothing is what ...
Not for the faint of heart. Seven Pounds is a very serious, mostly adults drama about personal sacrifice and redemption. Sometimes tough to follow due the films deliberate intent to keep you guessing as to whats going on,and, what the title of the movie is supposed to mean for as ...
Just when you think romantic comedies are dead, here comes one with a little twist. It's funny. It's really sort of a buddy comedy rather than a romantic comedy. There are some low ball jokes and some obvious gay and sex jokes thrown in, but it works. The movie isn't ...
Good, really good. Another solid addition to the Marvel universe of super hero movies, and one the fans really wanted done well. In a film genre that requires CGI I thought times it was a little too much, and, by the end of the movie kind of got out of ...
The fourth and hopefully the last of the FF series'. It appears they saved the worst for last. It could be argued that Tokyo Drift was worst of the bunch, but, I think with all the CG work in this film, it actually got dumbed down even more. Fast & ...
Where do I start. The very very hyped ("you've never seen a superhero movie like this before") masterpiece from the director of "300". Rated R for nudity and violence. It was supposed to be the next best thing. It wasn't. Set in an alternate 1980's where Nixon is in his ...
