X-Men Origins: Wolverine

As stated in previous reviews about the X-Men movies, I am not familiar with the comics from which they originate. I have seen all of the movies and was hoping to have a few things cleared up with Origins. I did not find this to be the case and there are still lingering questions in my [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Haunting in Connecticut

What a hauntingly beautiful movie – NOT!  Here we go with more loud noises and ghostly images in mirrors and black & white flashbacks. I have to wonder, will I ever be afraid in a movie again? The answer is certainly not with the current crop of crap that has been airing of late. This [...]

I Love You, Man

In life, some days we are rewarded with a surprise or two that come right out of the blue! Such was the case with this film. I was rewarded with a delightful movie that I went to see expecting it to be just average or below. Peter Klaven is a realtor who becomes engaged to his [...]

Duplicity

What a lovely film in both location shots and stars. Scenes in London, Rome, Dubai and New York are a joy to watch as are the two leads, namely Clive Owen and Julia Roberts. I have to tell you that Ms. Roberts has never looked better and is indeed in her prime both physically and [...]
