Late showing of White House Down, the 2nd white-house-under-attack movie of the year that’s somehow even more like Die Hard than Olympus Has Fallen which was already a lot like Die Hard. White House Down is the lesser film though … Continue reading
I saw the new magicians/heist movie Now You See Me (starring Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrolson, Isla Fisher and more)… and it’s a decent movie that’s far too in love with how clever and fun it thinks it is … Continue reading
Saw the CGI family-friendly cartoon Epic… about a tiny society of forest warriors duking it out over good (growth) vs. evil (decay). It’s a decent little movie – slightly violent – that kids will probably enjoy. Some of the writing … Continue reading
