Two overdue reviews

Here are a couple movies I saw several weeks ago, and I’m a bit behind in getting my reviews up on the blog. Sex and the City 2 The critics have been brutal in talking about this movie, which I think has been somewhat unfair.  Although some of the issues are legit, on the whole [...]

Iron Man 2 review

Iron Man 2 I had the chance to see this sequel with my brother and his wife.  We’d seen the first film together, so it seemed appropriate.   And although I didn’t really expect it to live up to the fun of the first, would it be close? Not so much. The main issue with this [...]

The Young Victoria review

The Young Victoria The challenge of a film like this one is that it’s very hard to be everything at once.  You can either make a highly detailed historical film that includes all the important details of a monarch’s life, or you can choose a key part of that life and magnify it into a [...]

Oscar bait movie reviews

Time to catch up on four films I saw recently, all of which are jockeying for some Oscar nominations next month. Avatar Jim Cameron’s latest has been (as always) controversial, because it cost a fortune.  Was it worth the money, and the extra money I paid to see it in 3-D?  The simple answer is [...]
