Matt’s Review: It’s Safe To Say That ‘Safe House’ Isn’t Worth Theater Dollars
Posted by: | Comments
GRADE: D+
I can probably guess that many will not dislike Safe House as much as I did. The audience surrounding me at the midnight showing was cheering the film in appreciation and shrieking during some of the bloody battles. About 15 minutes in, I could already tell Safe House was going to be a run-of-the mill early 2012 release no one would remember — except maybe for its inadequacy. Even the greatness of Denzel could not keep this sinking ship afloat.
Netflix This: The Boy In The Striped Pajamas

In light of all the movies I have been watching recently, I thought it would be a grand idea to discuss some of the better movies I have seen with our new segment Netflix This. Some are soon to be released or just out on DVD, others have been around for awhile. Without further delay, I’ll dive right in. It causes me shame to admit I just saw this movie for the first time. The film The Boy In The Striped Pajamas is based off the same-titled book of historical fiction written by John Boyne. It is a WWII period piece (which always stimulates my interest) concerning a Nazi officer who moves his family to the countryside so he can oversee the extermination of the Jews in a concentration camp.
