Cloud Atlas (2012) – Okay, let’s get one thing out of the way: I will always support a movie like this whether I love it or hate it or anywhere in between.

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2011) – I would not go quite as far as to call this one of the worst films of 2011 as some people have (though there a certain kneejerk reaction to some of the film’s more objectionable aspects that makes me want to). I will go so far as to … Continue reading →

Larry Crowne (2011) — So there’s a lot of parts of this movie that make me feel like it should work, but it just doesn’t.

Toy Story 3 (2010) — I think at this point it’s safe to say that if you do not like these movies you are dead inside. One might think a third Toy Story movie would be crushed by the weight of one’s expectation given the amazing quality of the first two, but nope. It stands … Continue reading →

Saving Private Ryan (1998) — That Spielberg kid might just have a future in the pictures… This movie is kind of odd tonally. It manages to be somehow unrelenting and sentimental at the same time. That shouldn’t really work but it does. The basic premise is not really an easy one. What is one guy’s … Continue reading →
