RSSReview: 'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2' Ends On A High Note
The vamps are back and even though Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson aren't together, Bella and Edward are. And now they have a very magical baby, half human and half vampire.
So here's the good news...Bella loves being a vampire...loves the power and the speed that it brings her. She loves her husband and her baby, Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy).
In fact, the Cullen crew including Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz are all living in the country in what can only be described as bliss. Even wolf-man Taylor Lautner has come aboard. Seems he's imprinted on the baby...

'Silver Linings Playbook' A Wonderful Dramedy About Love Among The Dysfunctional
Every so often a film comes along that is original, quirky, poignant and surprising. 'Silver Linings Playbook' written and directed by David O' Russell ('The Fighter') is just such a movie.
The film explores the struggles, eccentricities and obsessions of everyday people. In this case the Solantano family.
Pat Solantano Jr. (Bradley Cooper) has just spent 8 months in a mental hospital for beating up his co-worker and fellow teacher. Actually he practically killed the guy. Now, I'm not condoning violence, but Pat did find the dude having sex with his wife Nikki (Brea Bee) in the shower. ...

Review: 'Lincoln' - Spielberg And Daniel Day-Lewis Do The 16th President Proud
I know what some of you may be thinking about Abraham Lincoln. Boring right? Let me assure you this film is anything but boring.
Steven Spielberg has directed a riveting, intense, exciting, fascinating film about our 16th President of the United States – who put everything on the line to pass the 13th amendment to the constitution, which would end slavery throughout the country.
And let me tell you...that was no easy task. Thank goodness Lincoln had anti-slave Congressman Thaddeus Stevenson (Tommy Lee Jones - who's never been better) and Secretary of State William Seward (David Strathai...

Review 'Skyfall': James Bond Is Back And Steps Into the 21st Century
'Skyfall' directed by the super talented Sam Mendes gives us a very different James Bond.
Yes, he's still the charismatic super macho male that loves sex, hot women, hot cars, gambling and kicking butt. But this time around he's also vulnerable, slightly worn out and much more human.
Don't want to spoil the fun, so I'll just talk about the plot with broad strokes.
The film begins in Istanbul where Bond (Daniel Craig) finds a fellow MI6 agent critically wounded and the hard drive of a laptop missing.

'Flight' With Denzel Washington Is Good, But The Film Just Doesn't Soar
Whip Whitaker (Denzel Washington) has a secret...He's an alcoholic/coke addict. Whip is also an extraordinary pilot who miraculously crash lands a plane after a mid-air catastrophe, saving all but 6 people on board.
After the crash, Whip is hailed a 'hero', but he certainly doesn't feel like one. To avoid the press, he escapes to his childhood farm where he tries to kick the booze.
At first, he's successful...Even has some help from an exjunkie (Kelly Reilly) who he met during his hospital stay.
All goes well at first...No alchol and lots of loving from Kelly. But when National Transp...

Review: 'Cloud Atlas' A Brilliant Film That Takes Us On A Trip Through The Human Soul
'Cloud Atlas' is a film that some people like myself will find absolutely brilliant, while others like John (the other half of 'Two Jews On Film') will feel just the opposite.
Some critics have already called it pretentious as well as an indulgent mess. All these varying opinions simply prove one thing. When it comes to movies, art, music, culture...it's all so subjective. Therefore, my suggestion is go see this film and judge for yourself.

'The Sessions' A Moving True Story With Oscar Worthy Performances by Helen Hunt & John Hawkes
Every so often a film comes along that lifts your spirits and makes you feel that anything and everything is possible.
'The Sessions' starring John Hawkes and Helen Hunt is just such a film.
This is the true story of a man named Mark O'Brien, who lived in Berkeley CA in the 1980's.
Mark is different from most people. He contacted polio as a child and is confined to an Iron Lung. The only part of his body that isn't paralyzed is his head, which he can move slightly to the side. He is also dependent on a breathing tube and a caregiver.
But this isn't the tale of a disabled dude that lie...

Review: 'Here Comes The Boom' A Family Fun Feel Good Comedy
Ten years ago, Scott Voss (Kevin James) was an excellent high school biology teacher. He was even voted 'Teacher of the Year'.
But ten years is a long time. FLASH forward to the present...Scott couldn't care less about teaching. He works only to bring home a paycheck and is completely disillusioned with a school system that treats students like 'cattle'...who's only interested in moving them in and out, as quickly and as cheaply as possible.
To make matters worse, a budget crisis hits the school and by the end of the year, all extracurricular activities (except football, of course) will b...

Review: 'Seven Psychopaths' Is The Must See Film Of 2012
What does one little Shih Tzu named BONNY, Seven Psychopaths and one screenwriter suffering from writer's block have in common?
Everything...At least in my favorite film of 2012 so far.
Screenwriter, Marty Faranan (Colin Farrell) is way past his deadline on his latest screenplay. If that's not enough to cause the poor dude major stress, his passive-aggressive girlfriend, Kaya (Abbie Cornish) is about to walk out on him.
Lucky for Marty, his BFF sometime actor/full time dognapper, Billy (Sam Rockwell, in a tour de force performance) is sticking by him; actually a little too much.
In fact...

'Taken 2' Review: A Super Exciting, But At Times, An Unintentionally Funny Sequel
'Taken 2', a sequel to the very highly successful 2008 film, 'Taken' which made 230 million dollars, once again stars the very tall, very talented, Liam Neeson as Bryan Mills, ex CIA agent extraordinaire.
The film has great action, edge of your seats thrills and many...unintentional, funny moments that had me LMAO.
For example...(don't worry this isn't a SPOILER)...During one very intense scene in the film, Bryan is on the phone with his daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace) who's hiding from the bad guys in their hotel room. He tells her to...'Grab a couple of grenades, a couple of guns but as...
