Movie Review – Don’t Breathe 2

I’ll let you know that this movie pushes the limits on a number of touchy issues. It was extraordinarily well done, I really liked it but it did trouble me. I can’t explain why because that would ruin the gruesome surprises. So be forewarned, you’re in for a bumpy ride. Not surprisingly, I was on…

Movie Review – Pig
—
Pig was a surprising gem of a movie. It’s most definitely not what I thought it was going to be. Pig was so thought-provoking that almost twenty-four hours after seeing it, I’m still having epiphanies. [su_spoiler title=”Plot (Spoilers)”] A truffle hunter who lives alone in the Oregonian wilderness must return to his past in Portland…

Movie Review – Stillwater
—
Stillwater moves at a snail’s pace. They did that for a reason. You are slowly led into Bill’s (Matt Damon) life as the rest of the movie emerged. I read a bunch of reviews before seeing it and have to say I disagree. They were mostly negative and others trashed the movie. I found it…

Movie Review – The Forever Purge
Color me surprised. I was dreading this movie for months. The first Purge movie was pretty good. I liked the new concept and it hadn’t been done before. Then they killed it for me. Every Purge movie after the first went downhill. They redeemed themselves with The Forever Purge. I actually enjoyed it. [su_spoiler title=”Plot…

Movie Review – Spirit Untamed
Spirit Untamed was exactly what we were all looking for. On the opening show we — myself, Runpee Mom, my daughter, and my granddaughter — went to see Spirit on the big screen. All four of us have seen every episode numerous times, due to the fact that my granddaughter worships horses and loves Spirit.…

Movie Review – Here Today
—
Here Today blew me away. The story was gut-wrenchingly sad and so perfectly acted by Billy Crystal. It felt like in each and every scene, he was my own father going through it. My emotions were right there with Charlie. Top-notch performance! [su_spoiler title=”Plot (Spoilers)”] When veteran comedy writer Charlie Burnz meets New York street…
