MOVIE REVIEW: A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD

Some things never get old--and Bruce Willis as John McClane is one of them.  For the fifth time,  A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD brings the relentless NYPD hero back -- this time in geri-action-- but the formula still works. Once again, it's John McClane against a world of bad guys; we know who's going [...]

I set my alarm (as a late riser, I'm always on L.A. time) and was up at the crack of 8:30 to hear Emma Stone and this year's Oscar Host Seth MacFarlane announce the nominations-- when I was blown out of my breakfast nook by the stupefying news that Kathryn Bigelow and Ben Affleck were [...]

Osama Bin Laden is dead.

MOVIE REVIEW: LES MISERABLES

By |2012-12-31T08:16:14-05:00December 30th, 2012|Action & Adventure, Drama, Epic & Historical, Movies, Musicals|0 Comments

I have always loved this musical onstage, but was never so miserable as when I sat through all 157 minutes onscreen. LES MISERABLES--despite some exceptional musical performances--dies a torturous death by close-up at the hands of tone-deaf director Tom Hooper. "LES MIS" as we familiarly call it, is the theatrical extravaganza put to music by [...]

MOVIE REVIEW: THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN-PART 2

If you're in touch with your inner adolescent girl--and I am-- you'll love THE TWILIGHT SAGA:BREAKING DAWN- PART 2. I know it's been savaged in The Globe by Wesley Morris-- and many other critics. But honestly, having Wes review this film is like sending Andre the Giant to a pajama party--it's just not his milieu. [...]
