By Laurie Coker Rating: F- The Hangover films stopped appealing to me after the first installment, American Pie was only good with the first slice, and there should be no sequel for Bridesmaids (or copycat for that matter), and all for good reason. We have no limit on college party-fest films, like Animal House, Super… Continue reading Review: 21 AND OVER

Review: JACK THE GIANT SLAYER
By Laurie Coker Rating: B- When I can take my grandson to a film, I am one happy gal and when I can include my now two-year-old granddaughter too, I’m thrilled. While some might think Jack the Giant Slayer a bit heady for a toddler, I thought I’d give it a try. My grandson loved it and… Continue reading Review: JACK THE GIANT SLAYER
DVD Review: Best of Warner Brothers 20 Film Collection: Musicals DVD Box Set
By Laurie Coker Anyone who knows me knows I love musicals. I travel to New York as often as I can and make an effort to see as many musicals on Broadway as time and money allow. When the new Best of Warner Bros. 20 Film Collection: Musicals DVD boxed set arrived in my mail, I… Continue reading DVD Review: Best of Warner Brothers 20 Film Collection: Musicals DVD Box Set
Spanish Review: Un Buen Día para Morir
Por Laurie Coker Clasificación: F+ No desde la película original Die Hard tiene alguna de sus secuelas medidos hasta, y francamente, ellos han empeorado progresivamente con cada entrega. La prueba recae en el abismal A Good Day to Die Hard, en el que Bruce Willis retoma su papel como el Temerario John McClane. Director John… Continue reading Spanish Review: Un Buen Día para Morir
Spanish Review: SAFE HAVEN
Por Laurie Coker Clasificación: C- Mi preferencia en lectura se encuentra en novelas de misterio y no de las románticas desgarradoras torturadas, como los escritos por Nicholas Sparks, por lo que su última película, que está muy involucrado, Save Haven, no tenerme que acomete a la proyección. Para ser justos, he disfrutado algunas de sus películas… Continue reading Spanish Review: SAFE HAVEN
Spanish Review: HERMOSAS CRIATURAS
Por Laurie Coker Clasificación: D+/C- No hay límites en películas y novelas románticas adolescentes estos días. Me encataban libros sobre el amor adolescente en mi juventud, pero no tengo ningún recuerdo de esas historias entre ellas vampiros, zombies y Brujas. El mercado para tal disparate debe ser enorme, porque autores y cineastas se extrae una gran… Continue reading Spanish Review: HERMOSAS CRIATURAS
Review: A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD
By Laurie Coker Rating: F+ Not since the original Die Hard have any of its sequels measured up, and frankly, they have gotten progressively worse with each installment. Proof lies in the abysmal A Good Day to Die Hard, in which Bruce Willis reprises his role as the daredevil John McClane. Director John Moore certainly… Continue reading Review: A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD
Review: BEAUTIFUL CREATURES
By Laurie Coker Rating: C- There is no limit on teen romance novels and films these days. I used to eat up books about teen love in my youth, but I have no recollection of such stories including vampires, zombies, and witches. The market for such dribble must be huge, because authors and filmmakers are… Continue reading Review: BEAUTIFUL CREATURES
Review: SAFE HAVEN
By Laurie Coker Rating: C- My preference in reading lies in mystery novels and not sappy, heart-wrenching, tortured romance, like those written by Nicholas Sparks, so his latest film, with which he is highly involved, Safe Haven, didn’t have me rushing to the screening. In fairness, I have enjoyed some of his films in the… Continue reading Review: SAFE HAVEN
Spanish Review: Identity Thief
Por Laurie Coker Clasificación: D- No me gustan las comedias tontas y de mala calidad. Ho, sin embargo disfruto de humor inteligente e insípido. Identity Thief, protagonizada por Jason Bateman y Melissa McCarthy, por desgracia, carece de inteligente, y francamente, incluso estos actores cómicos excepcionales no pueden salvar un cuento de camino cansado viaje. Con sólo… Continue reading Spanish Review: Identity Thief
