Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows
SoberFilmChick

Directed by: Dave Green

Starring: Megan Fox, Stephen Amell, Will Arnett, Brian Tee, Tyler Perry, Brittany Ishibashi, and Laura Linney

Michael Bay tackles yet another famous cartoon franchise. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is better than many of the Transformers’ films, but that is not saying much. Director Dave Green has a lighter touch than Bay, so the film has fun moments. However, there is no need to rush t...

Gone Girl

Directed By: David Fincher

Starring: Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry, Carrie Coon, and Scoot McNairy

"What are you thinking? What are you feeling? What have we done to each other? What will we do?"
-Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck)

Awards season has begun on a rather wicked note. Oddly enough, I find myself in the peculiar position of kicking things off admitting just how wrong I was about a movie. That movie is David Fincher's Gone Girl. I haven't read the boo...

The Single Moms Club
SoberFilmChick

Directed by: Tyler Perry

Starring: Nia Long, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Cocoa Brown, Amy Smart, and Zulay Henao

Fresh off of his Razzies’ win for A Madea Christmas, Tyler Perry is back in theaters this month with his new film, The Single Moms Club. Say what you will, but Perry knows his audience and he sticks with his standard themes in this new film. The Single Moms Club involves a fair amount of sisterhood and female empowerment, as well as some serious male b...

REVIEW: Tyler Perry’s A Madea Christmas – Time For Madea To Retire

A Madea Christmas
SoberFilmChick

Directed by: Tyler Perry

Starring: Tyler Perry, Anna Maria Horsford, Larry The Cable Guy, Chad Michael Murphy, Tika Sumpter, Eric Lively, Alicia Witt, Lisa Whelchel, Kathy Najimy, and JR Lemon

Enough is enough. Tyler Perry’s popular cross-dressing grandma Madea has been through too much. She has had a reunion, weddings, been to jail and has even been involved with the witness protection program. Now, in Tyler Perry’s A Madea Christmas, she is involved wi...

REVIEW: Temptation: Confessions Of A Marriage Counselor – If You’ve Seen The Trailer, You’ve Seen The Movie

Temptation: Confessions Of A Marriage Counselor
SoberFilmChick

Directed by: Tyler Perry

Starring: Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Lance Gross, Robbie Jones, Kim Kardashian, Brandy Norwood, and Vanessa Williams

When I first saw the movie trailer for Temptation: Confessions Of A Marriage Counselor, I thought it revealed too much about the film’s plot. From the movie preview alone, I could see that the lead character is a woman who is tired of being ignored by her husband. She is tempted by a rich exe...

REVIEW: Alex Cross- Madea Versus A Psychopath

Alex Cross
SoberFilmChick

Directed by: Rob Cohen

Starring: Tyler Perry, Matthew Fox, Edward Burns, Cicely Tyson, Jean Reno, Rachel Nichols, Carmen Ejogo

Maybe my title is a little harsh. However, I am pretty sure that is what everyone was thinking when they saw the trailer for the movie, along with other burning questions: Is that Madea as a cop? Can Tyler Perry fill the shoes of Morgan Freeman who previously played Alex Cross in film adaptations of James Patterson’s novels? Why on God’s...

REVIEW: Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Witness Protection: Time For Madea To Retire

Madea's Witness Protection
SoberFilmChick

Directed By: Tyler Perry

Starring: Tyler Perry, Eugene Levy, Denise Richards, Romeo Miller, Doris Roberts, and Marla Gibbs

While I like Tyler Perry, I suspect that he has run out of good ideas for his most famous character, Madea. Madea’s Witness Protection is just one stereotype and predictable joke after another. Rich white family? Check. Working class black family? Check. Rich white family comes into contact with black family and become fish ou...

REVIEW: Tyler Perry's Good Deeds – Not Too Bad

Good Deeds
Mary Dieng

Directed By: Tyler Perry

Starring: Tyler Perry, Thandie Newton, Brian J. White, Rebecca Romijn, Jamie Kennedy, Phylicia Rashad, and Gabrielle Union

I will confess, I was not excited when I was asked to review Tyler Perry’s new film Good Deeds. Not that I don’t like Perry (Mr. Brown aside). At their core, his films tend to be about redemption and the triumph of the human spirit. They are, however, often predictable, and the trailer for Good Deeds looked like a made-for...
