The movie “Lincoln” was everything it was hyped up to be and more. Not the most exciting of films ever made but the acting and direction was top notch. Daniel Day Lewis (maybe the best actor of his generation) has already garnered two best acting awards. And with his stunning portrayal of our sixteenth President […]
Booth Reviews: Skyfall with Daniel Craig
“Bond, James Bond.” I was in love with the 007 movies the first time I saw Sean Connery on screen and I’ve looked forward to all 23 of them ever since. The latest installment in the 50 year history is titled, “Skyfall.” Many critics are calling this the best Bond movie ever. Those critics are […]
Booth Reviews: Flight with Denzel Washington
We’re getting near the end of the calendar, and that means we’re getting some of the better movies of the year. Very recently “Argo” came out and undoubtedly will be nominated in the Best Picture category. And now you can add “Flight” to that same list. I’m sure you’ve all seen the incredible trailers for […]
Movie Review – Argo
Simply put, “Argo” is one of the best movies of the year and will definitely be nominated as such when the Academy Awards come out later on. Ben Affleck directs and stars as real life CIA operative, Tony Mendez who led one of the great escapes in history getting six Americans out of Tehran during […]
Movie Review: Trouble With The Curve
It never ceases to amaze me how big time entertainers can be so polished when they have a script to work with and look so goofy without one. Ever notice how silly some of the biggest names in Hollywood are when they appear on the various talk shows? A case in point is Clint Eastwood. […]
Movie Review – Total Recall
Many of you know this is a reboot of the 1990 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone. That movie is loosely based on a short story by sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick called “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale.” I’m not sure why some critics have thumbed their noses at the 2012 version […]
Movie Review: Batman – The Dark Knight Rises
I had an array of emotions even before going to see the latest Batman flick, “The Dark Knight Rises”. This was just a little more then twenty-four hours after the senseless and horrific incident out in Colorado. Normally movies are a form of escapism from the real world but on this occasion how could anybody […]
Movie Review – Ted
I have to admit that I was skeptical about the movie “Ted” when I initially saw the trailers a few months back. After all, how good can a movie about a teddy bear coming to life actually be? Well seeing was believing, as it was two hours of creativity, emotion, and definitely a lot of […]
Movie Review: Men in Black 3
So far the summer has produced a few blockbusters (The Avengers) a few busts (Dark Shadows) and one pleasant surprise (Men In Black 3.) Fortunately, the third installment of the MIB franchise has some fresh, original ideas, although time travel isn’t one of them. It’s always a crapshoot with time travel in movies, because of […]
Movie Review – Snow White and the Huntsman
The latest version of Snow White is unlike any version you’ve ever seen before. In other words, this isn’t your Grandparents’ Snow White. The recent release is titled “Snow White And The Huntsman,” and it appears to be a combination of “Lord Of The Rings” and “Braveheart.” Most everyone knows the story of Snow White, […]
