Ahh, another R-rated comedy. It wasn't too long ago that these had almost completely fallen out of fashion. And the The Hangover hit big and almost every comedy is now rated R. Of course, each movie hits or misses based on its own merits and circumstances and the rating has very little to do with it... Continue Reading →
Tom Hanks is my favorite actor. Period. There is a handful of actors for whom I will head to the theater to see anything that they're in, but Tom Hanks tops them all. He is so talented and versatile and open-minded and ambitious and intelligent and personable and down-to-earth and fun and on and on... Continue Reading →
Being a movie lover, I make an effort to see both mass-market, big-budget films and smaller, independent movies. I, personally, would love to be able to see more low-budget independent films in the theater. But it's tough. My local movie theater almost never gets them, so I'm usually required to drive an hour or more in... Continue Reading →
I never saw Snow White and the Huntsman. I didn't avoid it, per se, but I wasn't itching to see it, either. Kristen Stewart just doesn't do it for me. I needed something extra to get me into the theater (or even on my couch) to see that particular film. The Huntsman: Winter's War has... Continue Reading →

I had planned on seeing this last Monday after work but then I heard a clunking sound coming from the undercarriage of my car and I had to go to the service station, instead. Then, Friday's show times didn't work as... Continue Reading →
I grew up as a Disney kid. My first crush was Cinderella. Or maybe it was Smurfette? It was one of those two. Regardless, I remember being in shock that Cinderella would choose Prince Charming over little four-year-old me. I'd like to think that she'd make a different decision, now that I'm a little older...

I typically love viewing experiences like this. I went into Criminal with no idea regarding what I was about to watch, other than the general tone and genre as well as the amazing cast. In fact, it was the cast that got me into the theater. It's hard to argue with Gary Oldman, Kevin Costner,... Continue Reading →
I love Elizabeth Olsen. I'm just going to lead with that. She won me over with her powerful performance in the horror film Silent House and I've since seen almost every one of her movies, released both before and after that one. The films, themselves vary in quality but her performances never do. She is as... Continue Reading →
The Movie March!
