Movie Reviews


The Distinguished Gentleman (1992)
“But, every-so-often the untamable comedic spirit of the young star emerges and the dull movie is suddenly (if only momentarily) revitalized.”

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
“If Star Trek represented the creative high of Casino Royale for Trekkies, in the sense of a rather daring dismissal of all before, then Star Trek Into Darkness is the harsh come-down of Quantum of Solace.”

Two of a Kind (1983)
“Two of a Kind gets one thing right, casting Gene Hackman as the voice of God. Everything else in this miserable excuse of a 'romantic comedy' is woeful.”

Identity Thief (2013)
“McCarthy is funny, but the mean-spirited character never gives the audience a chance to get behind her and care. In the end its shtick looking for coherence, in a better movie it works, this is not that movie.”


The Great Gatsby (2013)
“The Great Gatsby would seem like an ideal matching of star, director and material. So how did such a sure-fire thing, turn into one of the year's biggest disappointments?”

The Men’s Club (1986)
“Perhaps this final product is the result of post-production tinkering, its such a folly that I can't imagine any other explainable reason such a talented group of actors would sign on for this garbage”

The Impossible (2012)
“Michael Henke's french film Amour received a Best Picture nod from the Academy, yet The Impossible is the best foreign film of 2012, and arguably one of the top ten pictures of 2012, period.”

The Grey (2012)
“The Grey is a huge step in establishing Joe Carnahan as an emerging talent that is far more skilled than previously believed.”


Texas Chainsaw (2013)
“There could have been some campy fun here or at least a chance to fuse scare tactics from 1970-1980's horror films with the torture porn gore of today's films. Yet there is nothing except a direct sequel approach that feels like it was written in 1983.”

42 (2013)
“This is the type of movie and story that is uniquely American and embodies all the right elements of Hollywood studio filmmaking. One of the year's best films.”

The Mighty Quinn (1989)
“If you are a Denzel Washington completist than this should be viewed, all other should just watch Virtuosity...again.”

The Sentinel (2006)
“The Sentinel is way past its expiration date someone should have green-lighted this two decades ago or left it in their bottom desk drawer.”


Pain & Gain (2013)
“So it is fitting that Bay's 'small' film is a frenzied homage to his late inspiration, unfortunately Pain & Gain is a shallow exercise in cool stylized emotional detachment.”

A Haunted House (2013)
“This is a consistently funny movie, that had me laughing out loud numerous times. The rare comedy I wanted to watch again, immediately.”

Magnolia (1999)
“Cruise is revelatory in his portrayal of a wounded man turned arrogant chauvinist as is William H. Macy, a former child prodigy gone nowhere. Then all the characters have a solemn sing-along to a song on the soundtrack in each one of their various storylines. If that last sentence doesn't incite chuckles, then Magnolia may be the movie for you.”

Boomerang (1992)
“Sharper writing and tighter editing could have ranked Boomerang among the Murphy classics.”
