Movie Review – “Blackhat”
TwitReview- Chris Hemsworth stars in”Blackhat” : a boring, long winded, idiotic movie with tons of techno-babel. Thought provoking idea with such horrible execution. Grade: 2 out of 5 stars
Movie Review – “The Gambler”
TwittReview: Mark Wahlberg leads a stellar cast in The Gambler. A brilliant movie about self-destruction, second chances, and making life the way you want it.
Grade 5 out of 5.
Movie Review – “Into the Woods”
TwittReview: Into the Woods is a Crash-like adventure blending the Brother’s Grimm versions of Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Red Ridding Hood, and Rapunzel into a musical adventure tied together by an original story plot narrative. Flat story, slow pacing, distracting songs takes away any positives from the casting. Grade: 2 out of 5
Movie Review – “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb”
TwittReview: “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb” is the same old song and dance as the previous two outings. Bland plot, sub-par humor, with an intentional reboot of the series at the end. Grade 2.5 out of 5
Movie Review – “Kill the Messenger”
TwitReview: Jeremy Renner stars in Kill the Messenger. The real-life story about journalist Gary Webb who’s articles in 1996 revealed the hidden truth about the CIA controlled drug trafficking taking place in the United States. Grade: B-
Movie Review – “Guardians of the Galaxy”
TwitReview – “Guardians of the Galaxy” – Fantastic action, humor, story, and characters. Up there with “The Avengers” in scope, size, and enjoyment. Grade A+
Movie Review – “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”
TwitReview – “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” proves that monkeys make everything better. The war begins between Apes and Humans. Great Ape battles and very dull humans (characters and acting). Grade: B
Movie Review – “Tammy”
TwittReview: “Tammy” should be a lot funnier with a cast of this magnitude. This a confused movie that isn’t sure what it wants to be. Grade C+
Movie Review: “Begin Again”
TwittReview: “Begin Again” – a movie with lots of heart and gusto rolled into great performances by Mark Ruffalo, Keira Knightley, and Maroon 5 front-man Adam Levine. Grade B+
