Movie review : Date Night
Date Night Buy the soundtrack for Date Night iTunes Sigh. For the two funniest people on television, I was expecting very funny, not mildly amusing. The outtakes showed how enjoyable this film coulda, shoulda have been. I don’t blame the actors. I think the director told them to dial it back and play it straight [...]
Movie review : The Bounty Hunter
The Bounty Hunter Buy the soundtrack for The Bounty Hunter Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon With its convoluted plot you’d think Bounty Hunter might be a waste of time. Who is after who? Which set of bad guys are we looking at? Why isn’t Milo a cop anymore? It doesn’t really matter. The game [...]
Movie review : Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day Buy the soundtrack for Valentine’s Day Purchase at iTunes Amazon [ No spoilers ] First off the cast is great and huge. In the first 30 minutes of the movie there were at least 15 different scene cuts and it didn’t seem like we visited the same actor/actress twice. This movie is packed [...]

Movie review : Did You Hear About the Morgans?
I ‘ve been dragging my feet to review this movie. Good lead actors in a C level film. How did this happen? The Morgans movie commits the worst entertainment sin there is – it is dull. If I didn’t have to get the PeeTimes and end credits info, I would have walked out and sat [...]
Movie review : (500) Days of Summer
(500) Days of Summer 500 Days of Summer is the best romantic comedy I’ve seen in a long time. I’m going to put it in that group of great romantic comedies that sits right under When Harry Met Sally, and Four Weddings and a Funeral. It was funny, but not hilarious. There were a handful [...]
