Movie Review: The Mummy 3

I was all set to love this movie - mind you, I hadn’t seen the previous 2 (I know, I know, what’s wrong with me? I just never got around to it.) - but I had heard good things and was excited to see the fight scenes, especially the ones using Krav Maga. Unfortunately I [...]

Movie Review: 21

21 is a decent movie, worth a $5 ticket on the weekends before noon at AMC Theaters, but probably not worth much more than that. You should definitely check out the new theaters at 144th and Huron though, the screens are HUGE! I sat in the first row of the second section and that really [...]

Penelope: Movie Review

Errr. Ummm. Yeah. Don’t bother with this movie. I mean don’t even bother with the 99-cent rental out of the box at Wal-Mart. In fact don’t put it on your Netflix list either.

I suppose if you’re a 10-year old girl (or maybe 8, I’m never sure about these things) you [...]

Movie Review: Juno

The New [...]

Rent movies online through Movielink … (tour a home and get FREE movie tickets!)

Last night I actually took a break and downloaded a movie from Movielink. (I rented Bourne Supremacy - Matt Damon is cute, even if his politics are messed up - I guess you can’t have everything.)
Anywho, I encourage you to check it out, it’s especially handy if you’re traveling or too lazy to drive to [...]

Don’t rush to see August Rush

I’d read the reviews and hoped that somehow they were all wrong, that the movie August Rush wasn’t as bad as they said, that somehow if I just suspended all belief and reality it would be okay. Unfortunately, it doesn’t just require the viewer to suspend her belief it forces her to take that belief [...]

Go see Live Free or Die Hard!

If you haven’t been to see the movie Live Free or Die Hard go and do it!!
I first saw the previews for this movie last December and I swear the men in the audience all gasped, as if they couldn’t believe their good fortune that the Die Hard series was back.
I’m not really so big [...]
