Movie Review: The Family
The Family is absolutely disappointing. I was expecting some incredible magic with Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro together again. Sadly, it was not to be. You could, of course, sense the old chemistry that they once shared, but all in all it was just one complete letdown. As I would absolutely love to see De Niro play a gangster again in a serious format, I keep hoping that he will give us s...[Read More]

Movie Review: Silver Linings Playbook
From time to time, a movie comes out of left field and completely blows you away. For me, that movie is Silver Linings Playbook. I walked into the theatre with a completely open mind. In fact, the only knowledge I had of it was a trailer I had watched online the day of the screening. I walked out of the theatre mesmerized. From start to finish, Silver Linings Playbook delivered. The writing, the c...[Read More]
Movie Review: New Year’s Eve
Times Square, an ensemble cast, and a fair amount of cheesiness. Yep, you guessed it! It’s New Year’s Eve Hollywood style in the new movie from director Garry Marshall. Perhaps this movie picks up where Valentine’s Day (2010) ended? I didn’t see that one but I still think it’s a pretty safe bet. Don’t worry, this review will not be riddled with sarcasm and cynic...[Read More]
