“Side Effects” is an unpredictable psychological rollercoaster.
The movie in a nutshell is long, twisting, thrilling and long (although it was only an hour and 46 minutes).

For “Resident Evil: Retribution,” the fifth time is not the charm. Wait, that cliché is supposed to apply to third movies. Well, the third time wasn’t the charm for this series either,...
“The Hunger Games” is a superb film. It’s well made, beautifully acted and perhaps most importantly, faithfully adapted from the book.
The movie is a shining achievement in the checkered...
“21 Jump Street” is the best movie I’ve reviewed in what seems like forever. It’s not perfect, but it is a heck of a lot better than several other films I’ve seen recently.
“Safe House” is the overeager General Education teacher of action thriller films.
Almost everyone has or knows a friend that has had to deal with that one boring class where the teacher tried...
“The Devil Inside” is an awful movie. Everything about it is cringe-worthy … except for the parts that are supposed to be. Those are just lame. You would think that in a movie designed to scare people they could at least accidently make one scary moment, but they don’t. This film fails on every level.
“The Sitter” is a perfect example of a movie carried entirely by its lead. Jonah Hill shines in this performance, and without him, the film could have turned into an uninteresting train wreck.
“The Muppets” is a tough movie for a college student to review. On one hand it was charming, funny and well- acted. On the other, it seemed like several of the jokes were meant for either a generation before my time or a generation after.
As I walked out of the theater after watching “Tower Heist,” I have to admit I felt let down. I’m a big fan of movies and it really takes a lot for me to dislike any film. Over the years, there have only been a few that I truly couldn’t stand. Although “Tower Heist” doesn’t fall in that specific category, it falls into another that is almost as bad. This category is known as “Movies I’m Excited to See That Really Disappoint Me.”
