Review: LEGO MOVIE

By Laurie Coker Rating: A+ My grandson begged and begged me to take him to the screening of The Lego Movie, as if I wouldn’t, so he and his sister and I took in the Saturday morning screening. When he found out I had been to busy to write my review, he was furious! He… Continue reading Review: LEGO MOVIE

Reviews: MONUMENTS MEN

By Renee’ Collins Rating: 4 (Out of 5 Reels) I wanted to see this film because I have learned about Hitler’s plan to steal and stock pile everything he could get his hands on which included art but I had no idea how far he went.  An unlikely World War II platoon is tasked to… Continue reading Reviews: MONUMENTS MEN

Review: THE LEGO MOVIE

By Mark Saldana Rating: 4 (Out of 4 Stars)  Writer/directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller are on a four film winning streak. Starting with Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs in 2009 and continuing with 21 Jump Street, and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, this filmmaking duo has achieved fame, success and critical… Continue reading Review: THE LEGO MOVIE

Review: THE MONUMENTS MEN

By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) Based on the book The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History by Robert M. Edsel, George Clooney’s latest directorial effort hardly feels like an effort, and not necessarily in a good way. The light breezy approach to this, otherwise facinating, story lacks… Continue reading Review: THE MONUMENTS MEN

Review: LABOR DAY

By Mark Saldana  Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars)  Certainly one of my favorite films of the 2013 Austin Film Festival, Labor Day kept me mostly captivated and on the edge of my seat the first time I viewed the film at the historical Paramount Theater. I had the opportunity to view the film again… Continue reading Review: LABOR DAY

Review: LABOR DAY

By Laurie Coker Rating: C+ Dark and gloomy describes not only the characters of screenwriter/director Jason Reitman’s new film Labor Day; it also expresses tone of every moment in the story. Passionate performances from first class actors, perhaps one of the best of Brolin’s career, kept me engrossed in the tale, but little is new… Continue reading Review: LABOR DAY
