By Renee’ Collins Rating: 4.5 (out of 5 Reels) The ancient war between humans and a race of giants is reignited when Jack, a young farmhand fighting for a kingdom and the love of a princess, opens a gateway between the two worlds (IMDB).

Review: 21 AND OVER
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: 21 & OVER
By Mark Saldana Rating: 2.5 (Out of 4 Stars) From Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, the writers of The Change-Up and The Hangover movies, comes their directorial debut, which actually feels like a college age version of The Hangover, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, and a lot of other intoxicated, debauchery tales that… Continue reading Review: 21 & 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
Review: SNITCH
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) In a really strange case of miscasting, actor Dwayne Johnson portrays an out- of- his element, wussy, but desperate father willing to do just about anything to get his son out of prison. Yes, seriously, the massive former wrestler-turned actor here plays John Matthews, a businessman… Continue reading Review: SNITCH
Review: BLESS ME, ULTIMA
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) With this review, I have now given a three star rating to five movies in a row. I am not sure how to feel about this right now. Perhaps I should feel okay, because normally during this time of the year, the pickings are slim when… Continue reading Review: BLESS ME, ULTIMA
Review: BEAUTIFUL CREATURES
By Renee’ Collins Rating: 2 (Out of 5 Reels) I really didn’t know what this film was about based after viewing the trailer but I thought I would give it a try anyway because sometimes I am pleasantly surprised as recently with Warm Bodies. This film is a supernatural love story set in the South,… Continue reading Review: BEAUTIFUL CREATURES
Review: A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD
By Renee’ Collins Rating: 1 (Out of 5 Reels) All I wanted was this latest John McClane (Bruce Willis) installment to be as decent and entertaining as the last, unfortunately we don’t always get what we want. McClane Sr. travels to Russia to help out his seemingly wayward son, Jack (Jai Courtney), only to discover… Continue reading Review: A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD
Review: SAFE HAVEN
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Valentine’s Day has arrived. Couples after a romantic dinner often want to cuddle to a film on this special day celebrating love. Depending on one’s taste in movies, the options this week consist of teenage wiccan romance in Beautiful Creatures, intense action and violence in A… Continue reading Review: SAFE HAVEN
Review: BEAUTIFUL CREATURES
By Mark Saldana Rating: 3 (Out of 4 Stars) Horror-lite for teens seems to dominate at the box office now. Following the success of the Twilight saga, the imitators have arrived trying to cash on this genre as well. Two weeks ago, the zom-rom-com, Warm Bodies, opened and this week (February 14), the wiccan version… Continue reading Review: BEAUTIFUL CREATURES
