Movie Review: Divergent.

Posted on March 21, 2014 by Denise

My brain is rather divergent regarding Divergent.  It’s a beautifully shot rendering of the world made famous by Veronica Roth’s Divergent Trilogy.  But there are times where the dialogue is clunky at best, and a source of unintentional giggles at it’s … Continue reading →

Movie Review – 300: Rise of an Empire

Posted on March 7, 2014 by Denise

Wham!  Slam!  Slice!  Trounce!  There’s tons of fighting, and gobs of CGI blood in 300: Rise of an Empire.  There’s even a few scenes where the “blood” spatters onto the lens.  Ooh, that’s gory!  Well, kinda.  It’s computerized gory, but … Continue reading →

Movie Review — American Hustle

Posted on December 23, 2013 by Denise

Best.  Combover.  Ever.  Really, if there’s something you need to see in the movie American Hustle, it’s Christian Bale gluing a Chia Pet to his head, and then combing the sparse, overlong wisps of hair still on his head into … Continue reading →

Movie Review: Inside Llewyn Davis

Posted on December 20, 2013 by Denise

I didn’t like it.  It’s “hero” is anything but.  It’s too realistic.  There’s no catharsis, no lights-on moment for it’s star.  And yet, Inside Llewyn Davis may be the best Cohen Brothers movie yet.  Yes, I’ve seen The Big Lebowski. … Continue reading →

Movie Review — The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

Posted on December 13, 2013 by Denise

Not so much the Desolation of Smaug as it is the Ambling of Our Group.  This is the in-between movie in the series, and it feels like it. Where An Unexpected Journey is filled with action, laughs and general funtimes, … Continue reading →
