I walked into the theater with visions of writing all of these great pithy put downs on Step Up. Thinking things like, “This is what 3D was made for,” “All hail James Cameron for bringing us 3D so we can get movies like Step Up 3D,” I had this really cool snarky review in my […]

Salt Ok Action Movie made Good by Angelina Jolie. Michelle’s Review
That’s not Angelina Jolie, that’s a Man baby! Mangelina. Ok, you won’t understand that comment until you catch the new action flick Salt in which Jolie plays a bad ass secret agent. Salt is on the one hand a typical by the numbers action movie that’s elevated by Jolie’s presence, on the other hand it […]
Salt Does Not Suffer Fools – Or Betrayals – At All!
From the opening moments of Salt, a couple of things become crystal clear: a) Tom Cruise was a fool to have walked away from this one, and b) Angelina Jolie is now the world’s premiere action star.
Inception, Michelle’s not Impressed
Inception gave me a strange sense of déjà vu, I felt like I saw this movie earlier in the year and didn’t like it when it was called Shutter Island. I’m not saying there’s a lot of similarity between the two movies other than its themes of dream vs. reality and it’s lead star Leonardo […]
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Disappoints Michelle.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Nicolas Cage he generally makes a good to great pop corn summer movie and match him up with “blow em up good” expert Jerry Bruckheimer add in elements of fantasy and magic and we have a surefire good time. What the heck happened? The movie never seems to […]
Bland Despicable Me, means Boring Review from Michelle!
Despicable Me is a decent movie that falls victim to 5 key flaws: A marketing campaign that gives away all the best parts, I generally don’t like Steve Carell, boring minions, bland and lifeless animation and it’s in 3D.
The Last Airbender, Michelle’s First Walk Out in 3 Years!
Wow, just wow. Is M. Night Shyamalan capable of making a decent, compelling movie anymore? I didn’t like The Sixth Sense, but I appreciate how well made that movie was, and I liked Unbreakable, but after that he hasn’t made a single movie that I’ve liked and in the last few years a movie I […]
Twlight Saga: Eclipse, Has Some Fangs and Bite! Michelle’s Review!
Can I get away with a one-sentence review? The Twilight Saga: Eclipse almost fully redeems this franchise. It finally brings some bite to these vampy cats and wolf cubs. It actually looks and sounds like a real movie and not some student film on a shoestring budget with a blind cinematographer. It’s still dark, gray […]
Grownups, Michelle’s Short, Tepid, Review.
Just wow, watching Grownups is like watching a piece of Comedy History go into retirement and not very gracefully. Remember the moment in your life when you realized that Saturday Night Live was no longer funny? My realization came way back when Eddie Murphy left, I haven’t watched the show since. So I fortunately missed […]
Michelle likes The A-Team!
The A-Team ruined my childhood because it was the very first television show where I discovered that there’s a formula to making television. I remember the moment clearly, it came in the middle of season two when I predicted down to the exact same time when something would happen in the TV show and it […]
A Drunken Iron Man 2 Disappoints Michelle!
Iron Man 2 is one of those movies that is perplexing to me. If you ask the question – did I enjoy it, I would say, yeah, sure, it’s a big dumb action movie, but man is it a disappointing mess that’s all over the place, with no real highs. The original Iron Man wanted […]
