I am woman, hear me roar! Except in a movie theater. That’s just rude.

Movie Review: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Nutshell: I’d give Dawn of the Planet of the Apes an A-. The CGI is jaw-droppingly perfect, the story feels like a natural progression from Rise, and Serkis gives Caesar the world-weariness of a true leader. I’d have liked more … Continue reading
Movie Review: Tammy
Nutshell: I’d give it a C+. It’s not good, but it’s not a complete trash heap. Melissa McCarthy takes a pathetic person and gives her heart, but fans of Christina Yang will have to live with watching Sandra Oh just … Continue reading
Movie Review: Begin Again
Nutshell: I’d give Begin Again an A-. It’s not absolutely perfect, but with beautiful music, a plot that unwinds at it’s own pace without ever veering into boring, and cinematography that’s gritty and lovely at the same time? It’s pretty … Continue reading
Elsewhere Review: The Rover
Nutshell: I’d give The Rover a B+. It’s the type of film that had me watching, completely hooked, from the get-go (granted, it’s a heckuva start). But the bleak, unforgiving style of the film may put some off. If you’re … Continue reading

Movie Review: How to Train Your Dragon 2
Nutshell: I’d give How To Train Your Dragon 2 an A. An intelligent film that not only entertains without pandering to it’s audience, but manages the Empire Strikes Back-like superpower of being better than it’s already fabulous predecessor. Grab some popcorn, swoon … Continue reading

Elsewhere Review: The Fault in Our Stars
Nutshell: I give it a B+. Not a shot-for-shot retelling of the novel, but it works. Would have liked to have seen more of the realistic sturm-und-drang of illness, but otherwise Woodley and Elgort nail their roles. And any film … Continue reading
Movie Review: Edge of Tomorrow
Nutshell: I give Edge of Tomorrow a C+. Breathtaking visuals and a lead that’s always game for action can’t completely balance out a script that’s too repetitive even for it’s Groundhog Day Holocaust storyline. EoT continually re-starts, and though that’s a … Continue reading
Elsewhere Review: Maleficent
Nutshell: I give Maleficent a B. This movie shouldn’t be any good. It’s a one-character show with poorly constructed supporting characters, and an ending you can see coming a mile away. But the fact that Jolie really loves being the fairy, … Continue reading
Movie Review — X-Men: Days of Future Past
Nutshell: I give X-Men: DoFP a D, for dull, depressing and disappointing. If I want to be bummed out at a movie theater, I’ll buy stale popcorn and go with my ex. A complete waste of Peter Dinkalge and his … Continue reading
