A woman disguised and absorbed manhood to find independence. She worked at a hotel where she meets people, a lesbian, a beautiful young woman, and her rival. As she strives to reach her dreams, she has to figure herself out. *** Nothing really special about this movie except Glenn Close. Good to see Aaron Johnson portraying his role. Story wise, it fell short to give drama. Characters are not strong, their backgrounds are too shallow. There were numerous off scenes, I could pin-point... Read Full Story

Sometimes I have to wonder if I should give up reading books entirely –especially if there is even the slightest chance they might be made into a movie. The reason I say this is because, with only a handful of exceptions, the movie adaptation of a relatively good book is almost always less than stellar----and there’s few things in life more disappointing than a movie that takes a great story and tells it all wrong. You can now add “One for the Money” to that long and distinguished list... Read Full Story

I don't know why this film had 3-D. No reason for it. Emile Hirsch was amazing in Into The Wild. I think he is a good actor. He was not a good fit in this film because he is a good actor. He does not deserve this kind of material. This movie had a little suspense but no where near enough to make it even a so so movie.. The story fell flat. Not a good movie. Read Full Story

The music is great. This is a fun, entertaining, and uplifting film. Corny and chessy works in this movie because of the story and the music. The jokes are a little over the top to call it a full on inspirational film but still has a very good message. I was in a theater full of people who was really into this movies. Lots of cheers and clapping. It was a fun movie experience. Good movie. Read Full Story

According to several articles I have read lately, it has been George Lucas’ intention to make a film about the Tuskagee Airmen since the 1980’s, but he hasn’t been able to find a studio that would support it, claiming that audiences wouldn’t be interested in seeing a movie with an all black cast. I don’t know if they really believed that or if they were just too afraid to tell George that his script was corny and disappointing, but whatever the case may be, Mr. Lucas had to fund the project...

An okay script and film is strengthened by a huge performance by Meryl Streep, who embodies Margaret Thatcher so much there were times I thought I was actually looking at Thatcher herself. It's not just the look she gets down, but also the voice, mannerisms, and posture to a point where the line between the two gets thin. While the previews make it look like a biopic, the film is actually a drama of an older Thatcher, struck with dementia, being reminded of certain points in her career. As a... Read Full Story

This is a different take on the usual spy/thriller genre that has been done to death. It has a more artistic approach to the presentation and the story is less complicated and more straight to the point. Nothing but an absolute sense of realism from every area, especially the well shot fight scenes that pack a punch. An enjoyable and non-filling piece of solid entertainment. A refreshing break from the stupid, loud, cliched and disorienting action movies that pollute mainstream cinema. Read Full Story

Have you ever walked out of a movie theater and felt genuinely happy that you just saw a particular movie? I'm not talking about being thrilled that the movie was OVER--- heaven knows there's been enough of those experiences in my life. What I'm describing here is the feeling of being able to be entertained for 2 hours and feeling like your life is just a little bit better because of what you saw. And with everything that we are sometimes surrounded with during the rest of the day, that's a... Read Full Story

I read a review for this movie that said Catch .44 is like a Quentin Tarantino movie that Quentin Tarantino had nothing to do with.Since I HATE every movie Quentin Tarantino has ever done except for like 2 of them I should've known I was going to hate this movie.For some reason I still rented it &....... HATED it.I must have watched 20-25 minutes before I just could not take anymore & turned it off Read Full Story

A good adaptation based on the novel of the same name. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy presented a different take on the spy genre when it was released many years ago, emphasizing intellect and deduction rather than gadgets and guns. As a result, this is more of a thinking thriller than an action one. Some will probably be bored by this (there were people walking out on the showing I saw), but I liked it. I'll admit there were times it was a little slow, but I was invested in the story of an agent... Read Full Story
