Hollywood's Movie Reviews
The American
If you’ve seen the trailers for this movie you probably have the impression that The American is a fast paced action picture. The previews make George Clooney’s character, Jack; seem like an American version of James Bond. Nothing could be further from the truth. This movie has very little action and moves at the pace of a glacier.
Takers
Takers is the action movie that women have been waiting for. It has plenty of action, gunplay and explosions (what us men go to the theater for) but it’s all done by a cast of male eye candy in the form of Idris Elba, Paul Walker, Michael Ealy, Chris Brown and T.I. Harris.

Lottery Ticket
The movie is jam packed with all of the obligatory “ghetto characters” we’ve come to expect from “urban comedies”.
The Other Guys
The Other Guys is a knock-off version of a real “buddy cop” movie. Take Bad Boys or Lethal Weapon and replace Marcus and Mike Lowery or Riggs and Murtaugh with two idiots and, bang, you’ve got “The Other Guys”.
Dinner for Schmucks
Dinner for Schmucks is not for everyone’s taste. It’s a special kind of humor and not everyone will get.
Movie Review-SALT
Who is SALT? (That’s the tagline for this espionage thriller.) We don’t know who Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) is for the entire movie and that’s a good thing.
Twilight Eclipse
No one really needs a review of The Twilight Saga. The faithful hordes of fans who make up either “Team Edward” or “Team Jacob” are already making their plans for a pilgrimage to the local Cineplex for this latest installment of The Twilight series.
Grown Ups
Grown Ups stars an all star cast of today’s biggest comic actors. Adam Sandler, Kevin James, and Chris Rock...
Jonah Hex
Jonah Hex is a guy movie. It’s not as gory as it could have been; considering all of the murdering that goes on in the film.
Movie Review-The Karate Kid
The new Karate Kid is not really a re-make of the original ’84 movie (with the then 26 year old Ralph Macchio) it’s more of a re-telling of the story.
Sex and the City 2
My take on this whole Sex and the City phenomenon is the series is like Star Wars for geeks to single women and gay men.
Shrek The Final Chapter
In Shrek The Final Chapter we find Shrek longing for the good old days when he was the master of his swamp and feared by the local villagers.
Iron Man 2
In Iron Man 2 Stark is embracing his inner Iron Man and battling The U.S. Senate at the same time.
The Back-Up Plan
The Back-Up Plan takes the standard “boy meets girl” movie formula and changes the order around for some very funny results.
