Obsessed

This is pretty much a Fatal Attraction ripoff. Instead of a stellar cast led by Michael Douglas, Glenn Close and Anne Archer we have Idris Elba, Ali Larter and Beyonce Knowles. Don’t get me wrong on this, since I believe that these actors did an admirable job with what they were given. The trouble is [...]

Fighting

You might think that a movie titled FIGHTING would be very gory and violent. The fact is that it is violent anytime two men face off and try to beat each other unconscious or worse. So this is indeed a violent movie but to my relief, it is not gory. How could it be with a [...]

17 Again

Let’s get this out of the way first. Yes, I did enjoy this movie. I found it  funny, entertaining and heartwarming. You seem surprised! I know that this has been done a half dozen times or more where an adult is given the chance to relive their youth. The fact here is that it has [...]

State of Play

Big business, sleazy politicians, murder and corruption are the things we read about every day in the newspapers. This is also the story line of State of Play. Congressman Stephen Collins (Ben Affleck) is the chair of the committee overseeing defense spending and he has an aide who is his lead investigator. In addition to her job she [...]

Crank 2: High Voltage

This movie is a mishmash of the goofy, the gory and the implausable with a bit of Japanese sci-fi (read Godzilla) thrown into the mix! There were plot changes that left me sitting there with my mouth wide open wondering what in the world was happening. My theory is that action combined with horrible dialogue [...]

Observe and Report

I must admit to having mixed emotions about this movie. I went in expecting to see a funny movie like Paul Blart: Mall Cop http://www.tvmoviequotes.com/fatwayne/paul-blart-mall-cop/ but instead I got a little bit of Blart mixed in with a whole lot of black comedy. This is really two movies in one. The first half is very funny [...]

Adventureland

Let me start off by telling you that I was very disappointed by this offering from Greg Motola who brought us the hilarious Superbad. I anticipated the same kind of humor and wise cracks that I enjoyed from his earlier effort. Instead I got a fairly boring story about a recent college grad and his [...]

Monsters vs Aliens

Rules are meant to be broken or so they say. I broke one of my cardinal rules and went to see an animated movie! Be banned to hell thou foul smelling demon! Well, you see it was in 3-D and I happen to be addicted to the  pop out of the screen action especially when it is [...]

Fast & Furious

Fast cars, bodacious broads and macho men! That is Fast & Furious in a nutshell! This is the best of the series with Vin Diesel returning along with Paul Walker who together make this a fabulously exciting movie. I am telling you that the first scene where they are hijacking a load of gasoline is [...]
