Exodus: Gods and Kings

Mar 13, 2015

Sadly, the cast, scenery and extras can’t save this film or Director Scott. This was indeed a bold project that unfortunately falls short of the past versions.

Horrible Bosses 2

Feb 24, 2015

In my opinion, it’s just not worth owning or even renting. Like many sequels, it was just disappointing in the end.

Big Hero 6

Feb 23, 2015

Some Hard core comic book fans will find fault with Big Hero 6 but I for one thought it was really entertaining and I loved Baymax!

Fifty Shades of Grey

Feb 13, 2015

Fifty Shades of Grey is better than I expected after seeing the trailers but it certainly won’t be winning any awards.

The Slap

Feb 12, 2015

It will be interesting to see if THE SLAP can maintain the early momentum but, for now, I’m eager to see episode two which bodes well for the show.

Feb 12, 2015

Overall, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day is a good way to entertain your young ones for an hour and a half.

Kingsman: The Secret Service

Feb 11, 2015

With great acting and an interesting plot, Kingsman had the potential of being a truly great film and, while it is fun, enjoyable and entertaining, it falls short of being iconic.

101 Dalmatians

Feb 08, 2015

While vastly different stylistically from other Disney animated films but still embodying the excellent quality one expects from the Mouse, 101 Dalmatians is a movie worthy owning and the diamond edition Blu-ray.

Before I Go To Sleep

Jan 29, 2015

My final thought…save your money and wait to see it until it shows up on one of the television movie channels.

The Judge

Jan 27, 2015

Unfortunately, the terrific cast isn’t given much to work with and leaves the viewer feeling a bit let down at the end. This is one Downey, Jr. film I don’t need to see more than once.
