RSSReview: 'House At The End Of The Street' Has Clever Twist, But Is Low On Thrills & Chills
If you are expecting a super scary horror film, you will be disappointed. If however, you are expecting a lifetime movie of the week, damsel in distress film, you will not be.
Personally, for the first 50 minutes of 'House at the End of the Street' I was kind of bored and then came a 'twist' and I sat up in my seat....but not for long.
Okay, so here's the story...Sarah (Elisabeth Shue) is a divorced mom who moves into an upscale neighborhood to start a better life with her daughter, Elissa (Jennifer Lawrence, 'Hunger Games'). Only trouble is there are rumors that the nearby woods are ha...

Review: 'Trouble With The Curve' Predictable But Still Worth A Visit
'Trouble with the Curve' is -- a) corny - b) nothing you haven't seen before and - c) totally entertaining.
Clint Eastwood is Gus, an aging baseball scout for the Atlanta Braves. Gus has more than a few problems. He's losing his eyesight, has trouble peeing, his contract expires with the team in three months and might not be renewed.
Oh, did I mention that his relationship with his high powered lawyer daughter, Mickey (Amy Adams) is far from great. In fact it sucks.
Amy and Gus are total polar opposites. Gus hates technology, thinks computers are a ridiculous way of tracking a players s...

Review: 'End Of Watch' A Powerful Story On The Gritty Streets Of L.A.
'Training Day' starring Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke is one of my favorite 'cop' movies. It was written by David Ayers and now, once again, Ayers continues his fascination with the men in blue with his new gritty drama entitled 'End of Watch.'
This time his focus isn't on police corruption, but on the everyday life of the men and women who patrol our streets and put their lives at risk to serve and protect us.
'End of Watch', while not completely satisfying on an emotional level, does work for the most part. Thanks to the two leads, Jake Gyllenhal and Michael Pena, who have great c...

Review: 'The Perks Of Being A Wallflower' A Beautiful, Moving, Must See Film For Anyone Who Has Felt Like An Outsider
Some critics, especially those who have majored in journalism, take great pride in dissecting a film. The story, structure, characters, they doing their best to impress us with their knowledge about what works and what doesn't.
I am definitely not that kind of critic. All I do is share my subjective, emotional reaction to a film and sometimes, call my husband, John, an idiot if he doesn't see it my way.
With that said, I will now share my emotional reaction to...'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' ...I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. IT'S OUTSTANDING...A PERFECT FILM and... So far, my favorite film of...

Movie Review: 'The Words' -- Three Stories, One Powerful Film
'The Words' written and directed by Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal (co-wrote story for 'Tron-Legacy') is a movie within a movie within a movie.
Yes, it does sound confusing and convoluted, but it's really a very compelling and entertaining film.
When 'The Words' begin, we meet celebrated novelist, Clay Hammond (Dennis Quaid). He's standing before a crowd of fans, including grad student, Daniella (Oliva Wilde) reading excerpts from his bestselling novel, entitled, 'The Word'.

Review: 'Premium Rush' One Super Exciting Roller Coaster Ride Through Manhattan
Sometimes a film is 100 per cent entertainment. That is definitely the case with "Premium Rush" written and directed by David Koepp (writer of 'Spiderman' & 'Mission Impossible' etc).
This film is one big roller coaster ride...one that you'll want to keep riding, right up to the end.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Wilee, ex law student, turned bike messenger, extraordinaire. He spends his days dodging speeding cars, crazed cab drivers and 8 million New Yorkers hurrying to get wherever, and he loves every minute of it.

Review: 'Sparkle' Shines Bright Thanks To A Great Cast & That 60's Soul
No matter how hard you try not to, 'Sparkle' directed by Salim Akil, based on the 1970's film of the same name, will always remind you of Miss Whitney Houston's premature and very sad death. Whitney died just three months after filming this picture.
"Sparkle" takes place in Detroit, Michigan. The year is 1967 and Motown is King.
Houston plays Emma, a strict, church-going, single mother, who lives with her three daughters...Sparkle (Jordin Sparks) an aspiring singer/songwriter...Dee (Tika Sumpter) who dreams of becoming a doctor and...Sister, the beautiful, super sexy, divorced, wild chi...

Review: '2 Days In New York' An Entertaining, Quirky Visit With An Eccentric Family & Chris Rock
We first met the character Marion (Julie Delpy) in the film "2 Days in Paris" along with her real life boyfriend at the time, Adam Goldberg.
Now years later, Marion, a photographer about to have her first gallery show, is living happily ever after in New York City, with her boyfriend Mingus (Chris Rock) a journalist/on air radio personality and their respective children.
One day, out of the blue, Marion's super jolly father, Albert (played by her real life dad, Albert Delpy), her oversexed sister, Rose (Alexia Landeau) and her pot smoking, obnoxious ex boyfriend, Manu, come for a visit.

Review: 'The Bourne Legacy' Has Its Moments But Lacks Originality
So what happens when Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass decide that they no longer want to be a part of the super successful franchise known as Bourne?
Do the producers say fine and walk away from their billion dollar cash cow or find another way to keep it going? Silly question, right?
Which brings us to "The Bourne Legacy," written and directed by Tony Gilroy (writer of the previous Bourne films) and starring Jeremy Renner as the new super spy who the evil CIA wants to kill. Sound familiar? Of course it does, and that's the problem.
You've seen this same plot before...many, many...
