Expectations going into FIFTY SHADES OF GREY were quite low for a movie adaptation based on an erotica book by E.L. James. The negative online buzz also added to the dread of watching the film, so it was a pleasant surprise when I got sucked into the story.
Weddings are frequently explored in movies with good reason. The days leading up to them bring out the best and worst in people while sometimes causing families and the couple to clash. These elements make for compelling (sometimes classic) story premises.

Update: THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF FIVE ARMIES is now available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital download. Here's what we thought about the film.
Now that the The Hobbit trilogy has come full circle, we can rank the Peter Jackson movies in order of best movies in the franchise. THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF FIVE ARMIES brings the story to a close in an action-packed movie with enough battles that should leave fans satisfied, but overall was it the best film in the series?

The reviews for Christopher Nolan's INTERSTELLAR are in, and they are a mixed bag with mostly positive reactions from moviegoers. On RottenTomatoes, 92% of regular folk are liking the outer space saga while 72% of critics are liking it less than the masses. The hype around the movie starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine and Jessica Chastain should be enough to propel it to the number one spot at the box office.

Tom Cruise has always played the confident and resourceful alpha male as an action hero, but in EDGE OF TOMORROW he plays a funny boob with Emily Blunt playing the more competent soldier. What’s not to like about that?

Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg’s on screen pairing in 2 GUNS proved money at the box office. Here’s what worked and didn’t work for the buddy action comedy.
In 2 GUNS, both Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg are set up by their own people at the DEA and Navel Intelligence on a bank heist gone wrong. The on screen pair must fend off those agencies as well as a crooked CIA honcho (Bill Paxton) and a ruthless Mexican drug dealer (Edward James Olmos) while searching for the stolen money.
Bromance
Forget the boy gets girl. These two have great on screen chemistry. Wahlberg’s Stig is like an annoying little brother-type, excited to join forces with DEA agent Bobby Trench (Washington) and fight off the bad guys. Both have great banter that couldn’t have been all on the page. It seems like these two probably hit it off on set as well.
Badass Edward James Olmos
We haven't seen Olmos play a juicy role in awhile since Battlestar Galactica. He's like the Godfather of the Mexican cartel as Papi Greco in 2 GUNS. He’s classy yet ruthless.
Denzel Washington's Bling
Washington's character dons two gold teeth which gives the guy even more street cred. We’ll never tire of seeing Washington on screen.
Femme Fatale
Paula Patton’s sexy DEA agent is way too seductive immediately alerting viewers something is up with this sexpot.
Predictable Plot
The bromance between Washington and Wahlberg saves the predictable plot from boring you. From the start, you know the various groups involved, including the crooked agents of the DEA, CIA, Naval Intelligence and Mexican cartel are bound to end up in a climatic shootout.
Mexican Savages
How did they get so many movie stars to appear in a seemingly B-movie style film titled MOVIE 43? Did you see the film? Rate it below.

3D movies are in abundance, but only a few directors get it right. Sam Raimi’s OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL is one of them.
