GRADE: A
I always feel better when I sniff out a good film from the sea of previews that hit the web each year. So I’ll just brag for a second about my Crazy, Stupid Love. prediction. The movie with a stupendous cast turned out to be more than just a slate of talented actors — Crazy, Stupid, Love. is the best film I have seen this year. I’m serious. This film was just slightly better than X-Men: First Class. I loved every second and highly recommend any movie fan get out and see this one in the theaters.

GRADE: C+
My feelings about this movie can be described easiest by simply saying, I expected more. This movie of course features the talents of Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Zach Galifianakis, and Ron Livingston.

Matt’s Review: Despicable Me is Another Animated Classic

GRADE: A-
An animated movie like this will always have the looming comparisons to the juggernaut on the playing field, Pixar.

Despicable Me showed that not all animated gems come from Pixar and that it too can bank at the box office.
Matt’s Review: Date Night, Best Movie of 2010 Thus Far?
Posted by: | Comments
Date Night (B+)
The dynamic duo of Tina Fey and Steve Carell moonlight as the lead characters in Date Night, the driving force to the overall success of the film, and the main appeal of this comedy. These two are an absolutely hilarious pair, but also provide the story some depth in the portrayal of their characters. Fans of either of these actors will probably be pleased, because Date Night is a must see.
