Movie Synopsis, Trailers, and Reviews

Twelve

Needless to say, the film exceeded expectation and moved into the realm of surreal. Like every film at Sundance, the director said a few words before screening started. Now most people know Schumacher from his hit’s like, “Phantom of the Opera”, “Phone Booth”, or his flawed Batman’s. However I’ve been privileged to see his early [...]

Flipped

In this day when films are most all big-budget action movies with loud explosions, Flipped has explosions of its own kind. It has explosions of heart and feeling and character, all at the appropriate times. I didn’t find any ax to grind here. Other than the characters, plot, and screenplay, it’s also a technically beautiful [...]

Step Up 3D

If you are within the target audience for this movie you’ll love it, hands down. I thought Inception was good, but this movie blew everything else released this year out of the water. Every aspect of this film takes the genre to a new level, and addresses every problem the genre had in the past. [...]

Dinner for Schmucks

This is one of those movies where you sit for long times between so much as a snicker. The humor is dumb at worst and annoying at best. The actual dinner plays such a small part of this movie that it’s misleading to think that is what this movie is all about. I think the [...]

Salt

I went into this thinking Angelina Jolie looks hot and it will be exciting. Instead it’s an overblown mess with jerky camera angles and a plot so convoluted that you could drive a car through the plot holes. Ms Jolie plays a spy for the CIA who turns out to be a Russian sleeper cell [...]

Despicable Me

Despicable me is Simply Hilarious. This Movie is not just for kids, Adults are going to enjoy it even more. The youngest girl in it is sooooooo cute. Also the Small yellow minions simply adorable and so funny. The entire hall was laughing through out the movie. The plot is very interesting to keep you [...]

Charlie St. Cloud

I enjoyed this movie, for what it tries to do. It’s not trying to be an art-house Oscar-bait film. It’s basically a story about a good man who loses himself to grief and how he recovers. The core message of letting go and moving on is a good one, even if it’s a bit one-note. [...]

Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore

Your kids are going to love this movie. Spying and flying dogs, cats and birds, working together to take down one seriously disturbed kitty — what’s not for them to love? Although there was an extended scene that replicated Silence of the Lambs. Needless to say, the kids aren’t going to understand that reference, so [...]

Toy Story 3

The best magic tricks in the world are ones that cannot be unraveled, reverse engineered or dissected to figure out exactly how they are pulled off. This philosophy is doubly applicable to Pixar’s “Toy Story 3“, the storyline-ending outro of the beloved Toy Story, uh, story. I feel it relevant somehow to divulge my age, [...]

Grown Ups

“Grown Ups” is that typical summer comedy that couldn’t be more predictable, more formulaic, or more unoriginal then it is. It also has that by-the-numbers pattern of raunchy humor, thrown in with some childish jokes, and then the inevitable “feel good” vibe. In “Grown Up’s” defense, that’s actually a complement. It isn’t as awful as [...]
