August Rush (2007)

This is going to be a flip-floppy review. I did find a lot of good in the movie “August Rush,” but I can’t recommend it without including some reservations as well.

Movies Week in Review

Or should I say, “two weeks in review?” We’re combining the last two weeks into one today, and it makes a fun assortment of movies to add to your “to be watched” list. We’ll start out with “Bee Movie,” the new film just released to DVD which was written by and stars Jerry Seinfeld. I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh idea in the plot, but curious why they chose to include a little bit of swearing in a film for families. I also reviewed “Autumn in New York” for the purposes of venting my intense feelings of dislike for … Continue reading →
