Saw The Heat – the Sandra Bullock/Melissa McCarthy cop comedy – and it probably has more laughs per minute than any movie I’ve seen in awhile… and almost all of them are improv between these two very funny ladies. The … Continue reading
Also caught the Matt Damon eco flick Promised Land on Netflix… a movie about the evils of frakking (hydraulic fracturing – oil drilling by breaking up deposits by forcing water and other chemicals into the ground). It’s very much anti-frakking … Continue reading
And caught Monsters University, Pixar’s new sequel/prequel to Monsters, Inc… (the 2nd or 3rd best Pixar flick in my book). This isn’t as good as Monsters, Inc. but it’s thankfully a solid, fun, and funny movie with some good laugh-out-loud … Continue reading
Saw Star Trek: Into Darkness…. your average movie movie goer and the more casual (or more forgiving) Trek fans should enjoy this flick for the popcorn-eating, gee-whiz spectacle it’s trying to be. It looks great, it’s funny, well acted, and … Continue reading
Saw Pain and Gain – the Mark Whalberg/Dwayne Johnson dumb-criminals-do-dumb-crimes movie… directed by Michael (Transformers) Bay… and it’s actually quite watchable and funny.

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
Saw the new Stephen Soderberg film Side Effects… a movie I knew so little about I didn’t realize it was a Steven Soderberg film. Which is great since this movie really works … and it works best when you have … Continue reading
So finally got to see Zero Dark Thirty (the hunt for Bin Ladin movie) – and was a little disappointed. The first 30 minutes is the All Singing, All Torturing movie, the next 1 hr and a half is an … Continue reading
