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

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
Movie Review: Godzilla
Nutshell: I give Godzilla an A-. Much like the old King of Kaiju himself, Godzilla is a fabulous throwback to ancient times, when Toho studios was throwning down awesome monster-on-monster action, kids were never really in harms way, and … Continue reading
Movie Review: The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Nutshell: I give The Amazing Spider-Man 2 a C-. Great performances by Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Dane DeHann and Jamie Foxx aren’t enough to pull this choppy, drawn-out film from the depths of the barely-average. But Greg Nicotero rocks the … Continue reading
Movie Review: The Other Woman
Nutshell: If I had to grade this, I’d give The Other Woman a B+. It ain’t no Shakespeare, but it’s crazy, shameless and playful enough to give the folks in the cheap seats a good laugh. And fellas, don’t be put … Continue reading
Elsewhere Review: Under the Skin
Aliens that abduct people and do really horrible things with them. An alien that looks past her job and into exactly what it means to be the things she’s tasked to collect. Heavy, man. If I had to grade Under … Continue reading
Review In A Flash: Rio 2
Sometimes I’m too lazy for a full-out piece. Sometimes everything I’ve got to say about a film can be summarized in a sentence or two. Sometimes it’s both. So herewith, a quick-n-dirty on Rio 2: Before: Oh boy! I do … Continue reading
