Sherlock Holmes


Everything I expected. Downey is incredible, he was born to play Holmes.

All supporting cast members did an equally good job bringing to life the characters of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

If you want to see a great movie with adventure and action and witty dialogue, you will not go wrong with Sherlock Holmes.

Overall Rating: FULL PRICE.

It's Complicated.


The cast alone explains it all. This movie has very hysterical moments.

If you are looking for a comedy with a so so plot, its worth a shot.

For me John Krasinski stole the movie with his perfect comedic timing.

Overall Rating: Rental.

Everybody's Fine.


Ok. let me just state that is you are expecting a feel good holiday film... you are completely wrong. This movie was depressing.

It follows the story of a family who is serious denial and neglect to included their father into their lives for fear of disappointment.
For such an amazing cast, I must say I was not impressed. However my tear ducts got excellent exercise.

Overall Rating: Don't bother.

The Princess and the Frog


This movie is absolutely fantastic. Beautiful in every aspect, I left the theater with the biggest smile on my face and the warmest feeling in my heart. But let's face it, as one of the biggest Disney fans alive, I expected nothing less. This movie was superb. I recommend it for anyone who loves a story that preaches the lesson we all need to take to heart: With a little hard work, all your dreams can come true. I GIVE THIS TWO ENTHUSIASTIC THUMBS UP!!!

Brothers


This was an excellent movie. The acting was superb.

Tobey Maguire was excellent in one of the best showcases of his theatrical ability to date. This movie was touching and heart-wrenching. It portrayed the toll war has on a family most beautifully. I left the theater feeling imersed in sorrow for the trials they had gone through. Overall this was an excellent film.

While it could seem a little slow at times it picks up and takes you on a journey into the lives of this family.

Overall Rating: Matinée

The Blind Side


This movie is amazing! It is filled with emotion and inspiration. By far the most touching film i have seen all year!
Sandra Bullock is extraordinary in what I believe to be her best performance in years! This cast went together flawlessly, I really believed they were a family.
This movie had me shouting and clapping and crying, every moment evoked emotion.

For those of us who love a genuine uplifting story, you can not go wrong with the blind side.

The Fourth Kind

I appologize now because this review is gonna be skimpy.

A very original movie. Great ingenuity. I very much enjoyed the split screen form of filming. It heightened the tension. The plot was thorough and interesting. And even the credits showed creativity. My friends and Iremained in the theater until all accounts were over.

This movie did what it needed to. I f you enjoy movies that make you wonder...is there something else out there? I highly recommend this film.

Overall rating: Matinée

Saw VI

I am certainly not an expert on the Saw series, being that this was my first one everrr, but wow!!!!! This movie was awesomeeeeeee! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, and actually bitting my nails. It was filled with plot twists and had an extremely interesting plot. This was possibly the best movie I have seen all month!

The tasks our main man was put through were siiick!(especially the merry go round one, omggg)I never once wondered when this movie would end, it was totally fulfilling. After seeing this movie I have every intention to watch every one of its predecessors.

Obviously I'm not going to spill anything so let me leave you with this...

One word to describe this movie: INTENSEEEEE!

Overall Rating: FULL PRICE!

Paranormal activity.


Wow. Scariest movie of our time: not so much. While it was suspenseful and creative in the matter of filming, I in no way found this movie scary simply because of its lack of surprise. This movie was filled with scary movie cliches down to the final moments of the film. The entire film was completely predictable and the movie only became scary in the last 25 mins or so. The only surprising fact for me was that the paranormal activity was due to a demon not a ghost.

I would call this film a modern exorcist/poltergeist hybrid.

If you are looking for a movie that is filled with surprise moments enough to make you scream but not be fully scared this is the one.

It was an interesting movie but the effects would be scarier at home in the dark.

Overall rating: Rental.
