Isn't Pretty, but Captures the Essence of James Brown
Not your typical birth-to-grave biography. It's a little spastic and occasionally confusing but certainly keeps the intensity set high.
August 01, 2014
Hercules
Flexes Some Muscle
This time around we have a hero story that combines action, humor, and a nice moral lesson on consequences in a fun, action-packed film.

Planes: Fire & Rescue
Flies Higher Than Original
This time the cute factor doesn’t get in the way of meaningful characters and it’s a much better picture as a result.

Intelligent
Apes
, Mindless Entertainment
Every cliché is covered, and there are plot holes big enough to drive a tank through, but it's all about the spectacle and effects.

Christians Might Want to Avoid
The Vacationers
The Vacationers is a smooth read that will keep readers turning pages long after they should have turned out the light and gone to bed.

22 Jump Street
: At Best, a Diversion; At Worst, Crass
Doesn't take itself too seriously; the actors have a blast, creating lightheartedness. But it just had to sink into the gutter.
June 13, 2014
Days of Future Past
a Solid Seventh Entry in the X-Men Franchise
Catch up with the previous films or you'll be lost, but with Singer back in the director's chair, this is a fun, funny, fast-paced romp.

Million Dollar Arm
is Predictable, but Pleasant
A baseball movie that's not about baseball. A heartwarming (and completely predictable) underdog story based on a real-life competition.
May 16, 2014
Legends of Oz
: Dorothy Shoulda Stayed in Kansas
Begins with some of the most charming opening credits you've ever seen... and it's pretty much all downhill from there.
May 09, 2014
Walking with the Enemy
a Story That Needs to be Told, Seen
A tale of courage, sacrifice and redemption set against the backdrop of war-torn Budapest near the end of WWII, but it does tend to drag.
April 25, 2014
Disney's
Bears
a Thrilling Journey into Nature
Seen first as tiny babes, the show’s stars—cub twins Amber and Scout—resemble nothing so much as living, breathing teddy bears.
April 18, 2014
Captain America
Sequel Explores Themes of Ethics, Trust
Old-fashioned good-vs.-evil fun, even if you aren't sure which side is which among the not-so-subtle real-world political parallels.
April 04, 2014
Sabotage
a Gruesome but Glib 'Whodunnit'
An honest-to-goodness mystery: someone is killing off members of an elite DEA task force led by John 'Breacher' Wharton. Who? And Why?
March 28, 2014
Mr. Peabody & Sherman
: Fun for All Ages through All Eras
Fun for kids and adults, provides a lot of laughs, teaches a little history, even makes a few points about parent/child relationships.
March 07, 2014
Newest Neeson Movie is
Non-Stop
Excitement
From the first hazy moments shrouded in a faint sense of impending doom to the final resolution, this is a thinking person's action film.

About Last Night
Remake Neither Romantic nor Comedic
If your idea of romantic comedy is that profanity equals hilarity, drunkenness equals happiness and sex equals love, this is for you.
February 14, 2014
Unearned Ending Aside, Pro-Life
Gimme Shelter
Works
Not quite a documentary, but has an unflinching, realistic feel right til the end when it turns into a Lifetime movie with a bow on top.
January 24, 2014
Not Much to Crunch on in Forgettable
Nut Job
Pretty much what Saturday morning cartoons would have been back in the day if they had been 90 minutes long and available in 3D.
