Nine
If you are already a musical fan, you might enjoy Nine. I, however, am not a big musical fan so I went to see it hoping that it would be…
Another Robin Hood? Yes. But this one has Russell Crowe.
I know it's awards season and there are tons of great movies in theaters for the holidays, but let’s take just a moment to look ahead to summer. On my…
An Education
I will admit that as a bored high school student I would sometimes sit in class staring out the window fantasizing about a handsome man pulling up in a fancy…
Good Hair
“A woman’s hair is her glory.” Maya Angelou says it in Good Hair and it’s an idea that goes back to biblical times. So no wonder so many women are…
The Boys Are Back
These boys are definitely worth a couple of hours of your time. All three, Clive Owen and the two young actors who play his sons, give wonderful performances in The…
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is delicious, a fun film for kids and the adults who take them to see it. I saw it in 2D because my six-year-old…

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
My six-year old co-critic and I are agreeing to disagree on this one. He gives it an enthusiastic thumbs up. Me, not so much. Don’t get me wrong; I am…
Away We Go
I really enjoyed going along for the ride with Away We Go. Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski, who both give great performances, play Burt and Verona, a long-time couple about…
Ten Best Picture nominees… Really? What do you think?
When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced it’s doubling the number of Best Picture nominees to ten, my first thought was “gawd, that means the Oscars will…
Food, Inc.
Go see this movie. But be forewarned, it could quite possibly alter the way you and your family eat. This is a well-done documentary about the Food Industry in America.…
The Proposal
The Proposal is the kind of movie you can take your mother to. In fact, I did, and we both enjoyed it. A pretty standard romantic comedy, it was a…
The Hangover
Is “The Hangover” a chick flick by standard definition? Certainly not. Did this chick laugh her ass off? Hell yes. Just because it’s a “guy” comedy about a bachelor party…
