Mini Review: "Thor: The Dark World"

While a little more haphazard than the cheeky original, The Dark World offers up a reasonably cohesive story, some decent enough performances and a tantalizing ending.  Fun addition the the Marvelverse.

B+

Mini Review: "Captain Phillips"

Once again, Paul Greengrass creates a wonderfully engrossing tale out of story we already know the ending to.  The masterful performances by Tom Hanks and Barkhad Abdi help greatly in bringing the story to life.

A+

Oops! Behind Again!

Wow, having a girlfriend is really taking a toll on my movie going!  Sorry all, I know we're behind but with nothing coming out till 12-13, we'll take advantage of this time to catch up.  You will see reviews for Captain Phillips and Thor: The Dark World by this weekend and reviews for Ender's Game and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire by 12-7.

Mini Review: "Machete Kills"

Goofier, sillier and just as much fun as the original.  Can't wait to see the third movie!!

A-

Mini Review: "The Way Way Back"

A difficult film to watch at first, till Sam Rockwell's character appears.  Then the unlikable characters begin to fill in and enrich the story, leading to a heartwarming finale.

Mini Review: "Haunter"

"Groundhog Day" for a teen girl ghost.  Yawwwwwwwwwn.
