Review – Silver Linings Playbook

★★★★☆ Silver Linings Playbook is just plain great! Jenifer Lawrence should have gotten an Oscar for this role. Bradley Cooper delivers his usual phenom performance as well. Honestly, who doesn’t like Robert De Niro in an old man role? This movie did everything right. The writers produced a good script…

Review – Labyrinth

★★★★☆ I must admit to not having seen Labyrinth while David Bowie was alive. The movie was recently on the Comet television network so I watched it. Actually I watched it on a couple of different nights. I have to say that this is a movie completely made for David…

Review – In the Heart of the Sea

★★☆☆☆ I was horribly disappointed with In the Heart of the Sea. I know, working with elements is how a director proves the size of their manhood. Ron Howard has been seeking scripts with large scale natural elements since Backdraft. I understand this. Have even heard many directors state in…

Review – The Waiting Time

★★★★☆ I must say, The Waiting Time turned out to be surprisingly good. No, it’s not James Bond with beautiful women and lots of stuff blowing up, this is more along the lines of “Smiley’s People” with just a touch more action. It is more about the trade craft along…

Review – Set Up

★★★★☆ I actually enjoyed Set Up. Of course it is hard for a guy not to like a movie featuring a classic Pontiac GTO which looked rather stunning. Even though they had big name actors it appears they didn’t have the capacity to fix an annoying problem with vehicles of…

Review – Leviathan

★☆☆☆☆ Leviathan was a weird movie. I don’t mean science fiction twists and turns or blood and gore, just weird. Normally when I see subtitles pop up for a DVD I eject the disk and return it. My major criticism with CafeDVD is their inability to identify what language a…
