Step Up: yes please do. Step up the acting, step up the writing, step up the score. Above all, step up the dancing. There was absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie, and I like cheesy dance movies. The lighting was incredibly unflattering throughout the entire running, the acting was …

When my kids first heard about the LEGO Movie it was all they would talk about for weeks. I have to admit that even though I tried to act cool about it, I was pretty excited too. This movie had an all-star cast with everyone from Morgan Freeman to …
