Free Birds
With a major dearth of new theatrical releases (I didn’t see Best Man Holiday since it’s a sequel to a 15 year old movie I’d never heard of), I gritted my teeth and went to see the turkey film Free … Continue reading

Identity Thief

Warm Bodies
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

Saw The Perks of Being a Wallflower which is based on an amazing book from about 10-12 years ago (young adult coming-of-age type novel). As a movie, it makes a fantastic book. As a book, it makes a pretty good … Continue reading
