The Avengers: Age of Ultron Movie Review

Consistently satisfying. Marvel is doing a great job of keeping the audience engaged. The love story is not overwhelming in this installment. James Spader as Ultron a perfect selection but he always plays antagonists. A definite go see. I am not a fan of 3D at least in this movie. It doesn't seem like films are being made for 3D. Don't waste your money on plastic glasses. On a scale of 1 to 10... 8.5

Get Hard Movie Review

Yes... many many stereotypes... yes... many "gay" moments. What you would expect from a Will Ferrell movie but R rated. You may find yourself laughing out loud a couple times but not bent over hilarious. Will Ferrell definitely carries the movie with funny and many times corny gags. You may even find some of the material offensive. Definitely not as funny as I expected especially from Kevin Hart. Don't want to be too hard on the movie (pun intended). We give it a 6.5 out of 10.

Dracula Untold Movie Review

I must admit that I was not required to read this story in grade school so I'm really not familiar with the back story. That being said this movie was... eh. Entertaining for the moment but I did not fall in love with it. Definitely much better than Twilight but still... eh. Dracula definitely kicked some ass. There were a couple gory moments but not enough for me. I left unfulfilled. As if I had some really great garlic bread but the main dish was bland. I also had some questions but hey... every movie is allowed to have a couple "cheats". I'd say go see a matinee or wait for it to arrive in Redbox. I give this one a 7 out of 10. I'm going to read the story now.

Gaurdians of the Galaxy Movie Review

Great special effects especially for 3D. Great story line. The opening scene was heart wrenching. I expected Vin Diesel to have more lines. All of the guardians were well cast. The witty raccoon and the loving tree were the best characters. Their special gifts trumpeted over the other guardians. The corny scenes were intentional and funny and so was Bautista. Definitely a must see 8.5 out of 10

Lucy Movie Review

Lucy could have kicked so much more ass if it added a little something to the stew. I'm not sure what was missing but I expected a little more action. Maybe that was my fault. The bad guy should have really suffered I would think. Still a good movie. 7 out of 10.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Review

If you weren't aware this movie is all about April.  The story line: changed, quite a bit, and there was a shortage of ninja qualities... the foot clan were real thugs... all guns no ninjas and no Casey Jones. There were a lot of funny parts but only involving the Ninja Turtles themselves. Quite dead. Lots of DEAD and lots of product placement. The back story between Splinter and Shredder is null. I also did not like the fact that April turned out to be a goddess of sorts and the Ninja Turtles worship her and were her pets pretty much. If you don't mind a totally different story then you may enjoy this movie. Hell, it really didn't have to be about the Ninja Turtles but of some other mutant animal. Lovers of the "authentic" Ninja Turtle will be very disappointed... its nothing like we had expected. Overall, a six out of 10.

X-Men days of Future Past Moview Review

Good movie. I have a couple favorite scenes. Must watch in the theater. Even though its not aligned with comics you can still enjoy it. A little confusing, as the title can hint, since you have to try to connect it with the other movies. Go see it. 8 out of 10
