  Movie Reviews, Teen Scene

  Anyone who ever thought Justin Bieber’s teen-idol mug would never be delivered in glorious 3D to cineplexes all over the world can now put such idle thoughts to rest. The miraculous Youtube sensation’s meteoric rise has now been honored with a cinematic documentary treatment that may be generating more screaming from teenage girls than every boy band who ever lived. My ears are still ringing!

• Single White Classmate - ‘The Roommate’ Review

  Friday Night Lights star Minka Kelly takes on the role of an Iowan college student studying in LA where all the girls are as beautiful as her and some, like Gossip Girl Leighton Meester, want to weasel their way into her life and weasel her out of it. Sadly the movie is an unimaginative romp through tired thriller cliches, unwilling or unable to wring a single fresh idea out of the well-worn stalker premise. Single White Female fans are understandably offended, but most of the rest of us will just be bored...

  First impressions are crucial, and the first thought I had when I heard the title of Gnomeo & Juliet was “how in the world are they going to turn Romeo & Juliet into an animated children’s movie?” We all remember how the thing ended, right?

  I’m normally not a fan of altering source material, but I’ve never seen it done as cleverly as it is in this movie. I’ve seen Romeo & Juliet performed live on Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London, England, and this movie was more fun. Bravo!

• Text if you need some – ‘No Strings Attached’ Review

  Movie Reviews

  Legendary director Ivan Reitman pulls out all the stops in removing all those uppity notions of true love or honor from his screenplay, flipping the traditional romantic comedy formula fully into reverse, possibly for the first time. True believers in marriage before physical love will be horrified by this story of constant copulation and then love. Unless, of course, love can possibly be avoided.

  The rest of us, however, may get a pretty good kick out of it.

  Anyone unsure about what they want to do with their lives should definitely check out John Wells’ new recession drama about the desperate lives of downsized high-rollers. It’s a relatively serious drama about the real meaning of the work that we do in life and how to survive in a world centered around money, but made palatable by excellent performances from some of our best actors. It’s definitely a look at our world from Hollywood’s point of view instead of our own, but it’s always good to see a movie come along that has real meaning to just about all of us!
