Capsule Movie Reviews

Alice in Wonderland
Pittsford Plaza 03.05.10
The word I left the theater with was "boring." Johhny Depp is a marvel, but there was little else there besides a handful of amazing visuals that I'd love to have as posters on my wall, but not as a 108-minute movie.

Edge of Darkness
Pittsford Plaza 02.03.10
Mel Gibson does a good angry face, but the British TV series this was based on was sooooo much better.

Sherlock Holmes

Up in the Air
