Movie
The Great Gatsby
Not so great may be better suited. This film was teasing us for nearly a year. We had trailers last year telling us to get ready. We knew Moulin Rouge and Romeo and Juliet brought us the awkward feel. We loved it, but not n...
Movie
Mud
Mud combines the feel The Way Way Back, Moonrise Kingdom, Stand By Me, Beasts of the Southern Wild, The War, My Girl, and so mant more films. Yet it is unique and new in so many ways. Matthew McConaughey is our lead in this fi...
Movie
Iron Man 3
It’s really hard not to judge a book by its cover. But it’s even harder not to judge a movie by its trailer. I remember thinking back when the first trailer for Iron Man 3 hit, that based on the trailer, this movie looked like ...

Olympus Has Fallen
This was a body count movie. Apparently Under Siege and Die Hard have met Air Force One. And with the body count from Red Dawn, we have Olympus has Fallen. The movie was good. The action sequences were non-stop. Morgan Freem...

Tyler Perry’s Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor
This is the story, it could be true and actual for many viewers, about a marriage counselor looking to help people. The story is told in a passive first person. A counselor tells her client “about a story” that ma...
Movie
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
The magic may be amazing, but the movie falls short. Warner Brothers had to release the film at some point, so why not during the slow movie part of the season, with all the other mediocre films like Jack and Die Hard. It is a...
