The Orphan

8-10-2009 The Grand Theater- Four Seasons Station F.U.B.A.R. In my day I have seen some screwed up movies. This was the most twisted weird*** movie I've ever seen. I'm going to have nightmares tonight and to be honest I'm not sure I want to sleep in a house with a small child. Wow this movie was crazy. It was an excellent movie but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, I could never wish that on anyone. So unless you want to become very disturbed don't see this movie. It will warp your fragile little mind! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8OjaV3gyOI

The Ugly Truth

8/7/2009 The Grand Theater Great Predicatble, Formula driven, nothing unexpected. Just good fun. I enjoyed my afternoon watching this movie, I think you will too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-wMe9vxkWI

The Collector

8/7/2009 The Grand Theater Excellent Yes! Go see it soon! Go see a good slasher movie! Go see some gore, as well as a few other things. Non stop exciting, well filmed action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-_TiV-yK7M

Funny People

8/2/2009 The Grand Theater Good This movie was moderately funny. The stand-up portions were the funniest. If you were looking for a purely funny movie then wait for the DVD and fast forward through the "story" part and just watch the stand up. The story portion of the movie is interesting, with interesting characters. I wasn't crazy about the ending, however it's probably a realistic one. The only probelm is after 2.5 hours, I'm ready for a more definative ending that isn't so open-ended. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24VVnvrjI8w

Away We Go

7/3/2009 The Grand Theater Great What a Great Movie! I loved the whole thing. Good acting, funny and sweet story. I could definately identify with the main characters, it was like seeing my own personality on screen! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEp3NKG2U5U

Public Enemies

7/2/2009 The Grand Theater Great This movie is well worth your money to see. Exciting action (Despite some shaky camera work) It seems I like Johnny Depp more each time I see him in a movie. I'm glad he did a movie where he wasn't some sort of freak of nature. It suits him well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWof6CovHxI

My Sister's Keeper

7/2/2009 The Grand Theater Excellent There is nothing sad about this movie. I wasn't going to see it because I didn't want to be depressed. I wasn't, in fact I felt good after seeing this movie. This movie isn't about a girl dying of cancer, It's about a family really living, loving, and appreciating the life they have. Sure I got a little emotional, but not for the reasons I expected. Very well done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdZZLdjBfCI

The Hangover

6/30/2009 Wynsong Theaters Great Settle down now, it was nothing that spectacular. It was crude and funny. That's what I expected, that's what I got. Special $1.00 Popcorn helped a lot! An enjoyable afternoon, Go Summer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzmkDDmoODA

Goodbye Solo

6/26/2009 The Carousel Good I was looking for a heart-warming-what a great world Drama. What I got instead was a meandering story without a begining or an end. Every question it askes was left unanswered. It was if we saw a few weeks of these people's lives and then left without finding out about them. I'm not really angry with this movie, except I don't think it was effective. Good job trying something new, but borring is still borring, and unreseolved leaves you, unresolved. The cool part was that it was set in Winston Salem! Always cool to see some local landmarks, however if you don't care about such things, don't bother. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5IGC59Q9y8

Drag Me to Hell

6/15/2009 The Grand Theater Great This movie was so gross! What a freaky old lady. Scary Movie yet at times hiilarious...Here kitty, kitty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-REviL75zg

Imagine That

6/12/2009 The Grand Theater Great Go ahead, it'll make you feel warm and fuzzy. The girl was cute, Eddie Murphy was funny without going over the top. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70U393tWjrw

Up!

6/6/2009 The Grand Theater Excellent What a sweet Movie! At the end of the movie, if you realize that dogs are colorblind you'll laugh your way out of the theater. Pixar does it again! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyyrYPTjPJg

Obsessed

5/25/2009 The Grand Theater Great This was another boarderline movie. It was just barely great. It had a lot of great lines by Beyonce that were cool. A great girl fight at the end of the movie. It didn't change the Hollywood world, but it was a good time anyways. Just guys, do yourself a favor and tell your wife about the crazy girl at the office trying to seduce you! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBq8clz1nvQ

Angels and Demons

5/21/2009 The Grand Theater Good Good sounds harsh, but was it great? It was a good story, although for someone who didn't read the books, it moved very quickly, and I can't say I quite understand it. It was OK, I just can't bring myself to say it was Great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASVeN-58HKk

Star Trek

5/7/2009 The Grand Theater Superior Well duh! It's Star Trek of course it get's a Superior rating. Whenever you have a new movie (long awaited) from your favorite television series of all time. (Yes, better than you Sopranos) you have the possibility of a great let-down (See Indiana Jones) Fortunately this movie was everything I wanted it to be and more. It has been so long since I've seen a new Star Trek story. This movie is relentlessly action packed, it's awesome. A whole new Star Trek World is born, literally. It's time for a new generation to boldly go where no man has gone before! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rROvwAoqLZc

Earth

4/25/2009 The Grand Theater Good Nothing wrong with this movie, just not great. It's the kind of movie you would enjoy while visiting Disney World, but here at home it doesn't do too much. I heard it compared to March of the Penguins, Earth wasn't even close. If nothing else Morgan Freeman is better than James Earl Jones any day. I also mistakingly thought Patrick Stewart was one of the narrators, big disapointment there!

Adventureland

4/10/2009 The Grand Theater Good Well the last 20 minutes was good, the rest was poor. A few almost funny moments, and you don't see a lot of Pittsburgh, which was really the reason I wanted to see it anyway. In the end...don't bother.

Knowing

3/23/2009 The Grand Theater Superior I did not know this movie was going to be as religious as it was until the end. I think the people who have given this movie a negative review, gave it a negative review because they knew beforehand of the obvious religious context. It's too bad for them because the missed some of the best film making and storytelling in a long while. To be honest I would have been with them. I usually stay away from movies that have a religious context because they so often fall short in just about every area of good film making (ie Fireproof, Left Behind, The Passion of the Christ) I am so glad I didn't know that in advance here beacause I would probably not have seen it. I expected it to be an "End of the World" movie, and that is all. I invite you to see it only with that pre-text. Get it out of your head that it's a religous movie and see it with the same open mind that you'd see any other movie, if you do, for real, then I believe you...

I Love You Man

3/23/2009 The Grand Theater Excellent Thank-you. Thank you for entertaining me. Thank you for a light movie with funnypeople in it. Thank you for not making it too sad during the obligatory sad part. Thank you for being a little crude, but not neccesarilly or unbeleivable so. Thank-you. Maybe there's hope for Comedy yet.
