The Monuments Men (2014)
Kudos to George for making this story into a film. There was one problem. This was not a great movie.
Dallas Buyers Club (2013)
I walked out of this film feeling bad and no better for having seen it.
Lone Survivor (2014)
Suddenly duty, honor, country, right, wrong ….and basic human instincts to survive get very confused.
The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Lots of cash, drugs and T & A—not meaning tax and accounting.
BEST MOVIE SO FAR IN 2014
Go see Lone Survivor…a clear 10.0 on the TMG Scale. Run to your local theatre today!
THE COUNSELOR (2013)
The only “thrills” were the action between Penelope Cruz’ legs and Cameron Diaz and the windshield of a Porsche.
THE HEAT (2013)
Effing hilarious.
THE INTERNSHIP (2013)
I suggest Googling “laughs” and see what turns up instead.
THE PURGE (2013)
Film school 101 is you must have at least one likable character in a movie.
SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK (2012)
TMG Scale 7.5 MPAA Rating: R The lesson is hang in there…dates and relationships sometimes take time to develop.

Primmer on Guns – Not Hollywood
It is important we can all talk, openly, civilly, honestly and factually about guns, taxes, the rights of unborn women, world conflict and protecting our children from harm.
MOONRISE KINGDOM (2012)
TMG Scale 9.0 The script is amazingly imaginative and funny.
THE CAMPAIGN (2012)
TMG Scale 8.0 It is all very funny, vulgar and outlandish stuff.
ROCK OF AGES (2012)
The whole character of Cruise was sort of a fun cross breeding of Elvis, Alice Cooper and Ted Nugent.
DARK SHADOWS (2012)
TMG Scale 8.5 Depp doing Depp at his best!
THE AVENGERS (2012)
TMG Scale 7.0 At best, this is decent Saturday morning, re-run cartoon fare.
JERSEY BOYS (2005 to present – on stage)
TMG Scale 10.0 Okay. TMG does not review musical stage productions. But this is my website and I can pretty much do what I want. Jersey Boys has been on Broadway in New York since 2005 and on national tour for quite awhile. [The movie version is in development] Not...
THE THREE STOOGES (2012)
TMG Scale 3.0 This was a truly a good old college try, it just failed miserably.
THE HUNGER GAMES (2012)
TMG Scale 0.0 It is all disturbing and irresponsible.
THE GUARD (2011)
TMG Scale 8.5 It’s a fun and irreverent trip!
THE GREY (2012)
TMG Scale 6.5 This film kept my attention and knocked me out of my seat a few times.
ACT OF VALOR (2012)
TMG Scale 9.0 This movie is about real heroes, not flukes!
OSCAR PICS 2012
You have no idea about the Oscars or good movies until you check with us! We are the movie fan's choice...and we are watching out for you....even on sabbatical ! We saw them all in 2011 ! BEST PICTURE Should be: The Help If they could give two: The Descendants...
SAFE HOUSE (2012)
TMG Scale 8.0 Fun and excitement like this is why Hollywood exists.
MAN ON A LEDGE (2012)
TMG Scale 6.0 Other than the obvious flaws, I enjoyed it.
