Warm Bodies

Well yeah, it's cheesy.

Zombie with an inner monologue meets cute girl, eats her boyfriend's brain to absorb his memories, and learns to love again.

But the inner monologue is pretty funny - at least for the target PG-13 crowd.  And it works.  Pretty well, even.

A Good Day to Die Hard

I heard bad things about this film.  Most of them were true.  Rehashed catchphrases fill 75% of the dialog.  The bad guys are stupid.  And no one that age would survive that much abuse and keep moving, ruining any suspension of disbelief.  And, worst of all, this McClane has no respect for civilians; this one would have blown the roof.  Disappointing.

Silver Linings Playbook

There are a lot better, more in-depth reviews of this Oscar-nominated film than I'm going to write.  Broken person meets broken person, both with past mistakes and loss, and they try to make it work.  Can they?  It's a fantastic performance by Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, with a strong supporting cast.
