MOVIE REVIEW – STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS
This movie held my attention with its intense action scenes from the moment it started, its characters were real, learning and evolving, making decisions that I could understand and follow. In short, it was masterfully executed in all areas of review.

WHEN NUMBER THREE SEEMS MORE LIKE NUMBER TWO
The history of “third chapters” (known as “threequels,” thanks to those people who love to invent new terms while butchering English) is filed with good examples — and an outstanding series of atrociously bad ones.
MOVIE REVIEW – THE BIG WEDDING
It’s like having an orange popcicle, the mild orange taste is pleasing enough, but no one ever spends much time thinking about it afterwards, its banished from our thoughts because while the taste is good, it’s also unremarkable.
MOVIE REVIEW – OBLIVION
Honestly, I’m trying to remember what happened during the mid part of this movie other then a few hazy isolated moments of plot development
NEW ONLINE – DEWITT & MARIA
A fresh and unique look at a romantic comedy that a studio could never achieve
MOVIE REVIEW – OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN
The dialogue was it’s only strong area, but liking the film because of that would be akin to thinking a park bench a good snack because someone spilled your favorite espresso on it.

The demon-speeding-through-the-woods shots that we’ve come to love in the original are still in tact and still effective.
