Review – Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)

★★☆☆☆ As reboots go, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is not bad. I was a child when the first Planet of the Apes movies came out and saw them many times growing up. Back when the SyFy channel was a good thing, they used to have the occasional…

Review – Winter Passing

★★★☆☆ After watching Winter Passing on the STARZ network last night, I firmly believe that Zooey is quite possibly the most gifted actress her generation has spawned. Ed Harris delivers a phenomenal performance and the story line simply sucks you in for the ride. You forget you are watching a…

Review – The Bag Man (2014)

★★★★☆ The Bag Man is another one of these fantastic John Cusack movies that never gets much press. Yes, I saw John Cusack was in it and it went on my rental list. I must say that Rebecca Da Costa did an outstanding job. She was given a difficult role…

Review – Stand Up Guys

★★★★☆ Stand Up Guys had to find its way onto my rental list. If you have read some of my prior movie reviews you know any movie with Christopher Walken is going to find a spot on my rental list. He brings a certain quality to most movies which I…
