I’ve got two words for you: food porn. Chef is a great movie, but it will set your stomach rumbling almost immediately. There are entire segments where you are just watching amazing looking food be prepared. I’m drooling just thinking about the grilled cheese sandwich scene… Continue reading

A Christmas Story (1983)

A Christmas Story is the only holiday movie you will ever need. This is not an opinion, this is a fact. This one movie is aired on TBS for 24 hours straight starting on Christmas Eve and receives excellent ratings year after year. Continue reading
Casino Royale (2006)
IMDb
Sally
Casino Royale is one of the best action movies of the past decade. It successfully revived the 007 franchise, which was somewhat faltering by the end of Pierce Brosnan’s run. However, as much as I love this film, it just doesn’t feel like a James Bond film. Continue reading
Clear and Present Danger (1994)

I finally figured out why I’m not loving this Jack Ryan character. He’s such a crusader for truth, justice, and the American way that it renders him boring and one dimensional. Where’s the edge? Continue reading
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)
IMDb
Sally
Catching Fire is an excellent follow up to The Hunger Games. It takes everything that made the first movie great– strong leads, political conflict, thrilling action– and expands upon it perfectly. Again, this is a near perfect adaptation of the book, and leaves me anxious for the next installment. Continue reading
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

If you walked into Captain America: The Winter Soldier expecting a typical comic book movie, then you were wrong. This is more of a political thriller and that is not a bad thing. Continue reading
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010)
IMDb

I am going to have a hard time reviewing this film. It was utterly forgettable and nowhere near as interesting as the first two films, which were not that great themselves. The third Narnia movie, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, took nearly everything that was good about the first two films and gets rid of it or tries to replace it and fails. Continue reading
Carrie (2013)
IMDb
Sally
When Carrie was released I couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that every trailer basically gave away the entire plot. This is a remake, yes, but how many teens today have actually watched the 1970s Sissy Spacek original? Continue reading
Confidence (2003)
IMDb
Ben
The best way to describe this film is Ocean’s 11 lite. This is a grittier, less cooler version of the George Clooney heist film that came out a few years earlier. When I say it’s not as cool, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Continue reading
Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)
IMDb
Ben
My first thought after this film ended was ‘what might have been’. This starts off as an amusing take of credit card debt and quickly degrades into a generic rom-com minus the com. Isla Fisher is wasted in the second half of this film when all she does is bat her eyelids at her boss (Hugh Dancy) until sparks fly. Continue reading
