Review: Man of Steel

My review for Man of Steel doesn't need a long review.

That's because it can be summed up in one word...

...WOW!!!

From start to end, that one word perfectly describes this film. Director Zack Snyder was masterful in his work. Henry Cavill is perfect in the titular role. This film is THE new standard for the franchise. And for my money, it is in the top two of the recent superhero flicks.

You have GOT to go see Man of Steel! You will be blown away!

...WOW!!!

DVD Review: Warm Bodies

I had wanted to see Warm Bodies in the theater, but never had the chance because of how I was feeling at the time. So, when the opportunity came to rent the DVD, I jumped at the chance! And boy, I sure am glad I did!

Warm Bodies is a delightful, refreshing and unexpected take on the zombie craze that has saturated Hollywood film making. Starring Theresa Palmer (I Am Number Four; Bedtime Stories) and Nicholas Holt (About A Boy; Clash of the Titans), this film has absolutely terrific acting by both leads, smart writing, and is directed at a pace that moves the story along, but without missing details and subplots that are essential to the storyline.

Warm Bodies was as good as I expected (and had heard) it to be!

Now, let me reiterate something about comedies...I generally hate them! They are obvious, clichéd and rarely surprise me. Warm Bodies was definitely outside of that mold and I really enjoyed this movie!

Go rent Warm Bodies! You'll be glad you did!
