Movie Review: HALL PASS Starring Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Jenna Fischer, Christina Applegate

Posted: February 25, 2011 at 12:03 am   /   Film, Local, Movie Reviews

I was curious about HALL PASS.  I’m not sure how else to put it.  The trailer looked okay.  The premise definitely showed promise.  But I am not a huge Owen Wilson supporter, and the Farrelly brothers haven’t done anything good since 1998 with THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY.  I left the film having mixed feelings on […]

Movie Review: I AM NUMBER FOUR Starring Alex Pettyfer, Diana Agron

Posted: February 17, 2011 at 11:49 pm   /   Film, Local

I had zero hope for I AM NUMBER FOUR.  I saw the trailer, and immediately dismissed it as teenage action that would be far too teen angsty.  Now seeing the film, I can say that I was partially true.  The film is very much a teen action flick that high school kids will most likely […]

Movie Review: “The Rite” Starring Anthony Hopkins

Posted: January 28, 2011 at 5:13 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

I was nervous about The Rite months ago when I saw the trailer.  I feel like the exorcism genre has really brought anything new and fresh to the table in some time.  And I felt that Anthony Hopkins was playing a character we have seen before which there is nothing wrong with because he does it well.  But […]

Season of the Witch

Posted: January 7, 2011 at 10:09 am   /   Local, Movie Reviews

There is one of two camps that you fall into when going into a Nicholas Cage film.  There are those that prepare themselves for the worst and those that are expecting a fun and mindless entertaining film.  Though there are about enough films that I can count on one hand that I actually enjoy the […]

Country Strong

Posted: January 7, 2011 at 10:03 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

Let me first start by saying that I do not like country music.  So this will review will not include me critiqueing the music in the film which in actuality will play a large role in whether you enjoy the movie or not.  It is just not my style.  As a result, I went into […]

Yogi Bear

Posted: December 17, 2010 at 1:00 am   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

Yogi Bear is a movie that I had absolutely no desire to see.  The posters were kind of creepy looking.  The trailers were not funny in any way.  And it kind of annoyed me that they headlined the poster with Justin Timberlake’s name even though his voice is in no way recognizable in the role.  […]

Movie Review: Disney’s “Tangled” Starring Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Brad Garrett

Posted: November 24, 2010 at 9:23 am   /   Local, Tom O'Keefe Movie Reviews

Don’t let the title fool you. Tangled is really Rapunzel in “tween-boy targeted” clothing. The film marks, with surprisingly little fanfare I might add, Disney Studio’s 50th animated feature. Mandy Moore stars as our formerly-titular hero while Zachary Levi plays Flynn Ryder, a charming ne’re-do-well who stumbles upon the tower in which she’s been imprisoned […]

Burlesque follows a story that many have seen before, in fact we saw a similar story a decade ago with Coyote Ugly. You know the one, about the small town girl who has big city dreams. She moves to the city only to find that her dream isn’t waiting for her on a silver platter. […]

Love & Other Drugs

Posted: November 23, 2010 at 11:30 pm   /   Featured, Local, Movie Reviews

One of the reasons I quit my six-figure salaried job on Wall Street was because I could get unlimited movie passes and an even more exorbitant salary. But really, it was for the love of the movies I’d get to see. Clearly, one of the films I had in mind was Love & Other Drugs. […]

Fair Game is a film about based on the true life account of ex CIA operative Valerie Plame. She was outed as an operative by a White House advisor, supposedly because she was not giving them intelligence that fit with their weapons of mass destruction ideology that they were trying to push at the time.
