7/10 A movie is sometimes only as good as the leading stars. The reason why Charlie St. Cloud is a decent movie is because Zac Efron is a believable guy to go from a hot-shot with a future to a loner who sees dead people. Of course I’m sucker for romance so I was drawn … More Charlie St. Cloud (2010)
2/10 People have told me that Movie 43 is just a terrible movie. I find that surprising considering the amount of talented people in the cast. It would be extremely hard to believe, but Date Night has an amazing ensemble of comedic actors and actresses who just don’t bring the laughs. I think I seriously … More Date Night (2010)
2/10 I don’t know where to start with The Other Guys. The Rock and Samuel L. Jackson may be the best of the movie, despite only being in the first 10 minutes. Mark Wahlberg being called the Yankee Clipper for shooting Derek Jeter is hilarious, but then he gets partnered with Will Farrell who isn’t … More The Other Guys (2010)
7/10 Boxing movies usually focus on rags to riches kind of stories, focusing on guys who struggle to make it to the top. The Fighter is a true story about a guy who can’t escape his brother’s shadow despite the tarnish legacy he has. Mark Wahlberg is good here, but not great, and is outshined … More The Fighter (2010)
7/10 Most people think Boston is a nice place, little do they know that some very dark stuff happens in Bean town and it isn’t for the faint of heart. I would consider Edge of Darkness a new twist on the typical government cover up story, just because a Boston detective gets involved with nuclear … More Edge of Darkness (2010)
7/10 My girlfriend deserves credit for introducing me to many movies I’d never give a chance to and Burlesque is one of them. Just when I thought I couldn’t enjoy such a film, Christian Aguilera bursts out in song and really packs an emotional punch into the story with just her voice. As crazy as … More Burlesque (2010)
