Went to see Oz, The Great and Powerful and… it’s pretty darn good. Good, if a little scary, I bet, for the family (a few heaving bosoms may not be “appropriate” but I’m not complaining). It’s sweet and charming and … Continue reading
Also saw the amusingly titled Last Exorcism Part 2 (almost as funny as the movie title The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia). It was a pretty lousy movie full of padding, non-scares, cheap jump scares, and the like. … Continue reading
Saw Jack the Giant Slayer over the weekend… and I rather enjoyed it. It was fun and light entertainment and I rather liked the characters who didn’t fall into the cliches I expected. I didn’t know Ewan McGregor was in … Continue reading

Comedy is subjective… and maybe Identity Thief is a great comedy and I’m just a glum, cynical sourpuss. Maybe I just used the word sourpuss. But, yeah, all the funny bits and pieces in this movie were in the trailer … Continue reading
Saw Warm Bodies – a rom-zom-com that is pretty amusing bit of fluff that is pretty forgettable but mildly fun. Kind of a send-up of zombie apocalypse movies, kind of a send-up of Twilight, kind of a Romeo & Juliet … Continue reading
