Movie Review: Edge of Tomorrow

Posted on June 6, 2014 by Denise

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

Posted on May 30, 2014 by Denise

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

Posted on May 23, 2014 by Denise

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 →

Elsewhere Review: Blended

Posted on May 23, 2014 by Denise

Nutshell:  I give this a B-.  Though I could list a zillion reasons why this movie should suck, it’s actually too cute to stink.  All-in performances by Sandler and Barrymore ground the sillyness, and Bella Thorne is adorable as a … Continue reading →

Movie Review: Godzilla

Posted on May 16, 2014 by Denise

  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

Posted on May 2, 2014 by Denise

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

Posted on April 25, 2014 by Denise

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 →

Posted on April 18, 2014 by Denise

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

Posted on April 11, 2014 by Denise

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 →

Elsewhere Review: Draft Day

Posted on April 11, 2014 by Denise

If I had to grade this, I’d give it a C+.  It’s a bit above average, but lacks what’s necessary to bring it up to the really good stuff. As always, clicky the title for the original review! Movie Review: … Continue reading →
