Review – Juno

★★★★★ Juno is a movie to own and watch whenever you want to feel good by laughing. I have seen this movie many times and it survives. The acting is stellar and the writing is simply phenom. Ellen (now Elliot) Page (Juno) ends up getting pregnant after she decides to…

Review – The Theory of Everything

★★★☆☆ The Extra Man an incredibly odd movie. While it is enjoyable, if you have any issues with alternative lifestyles being discussed you should definitely skip it. I put it on the rental list because Kevin Kline was in it. It’s not to say that I was disappointed with the…

Review – Edge of Tomorrow

★★★★☆ I call Edge of Tomorrow the ex-wife movie or the ex-wife fantasy movie. What ex-wife hasn’t wanted shoot and revive former hubby endlessly?
