Movie Review – Dear Evan Hansen
—
Dear Evan Hansen was an incredibly well-done movie. The message that it contains hits home so hard that you’ll walk out of the theater a lot heavier than when you walked in. The ongoing issue with mental health has finally been given the attention it deserves. Ben Platt was simply amazing. He was able to…

Movie Review – Malignant
—
James Wan did it again. When I see his name on a movie poster or trailer, I know that I’m in store for some quality work. He has marvelous visions that he can bring to life very well and give you nightmares for weeks. First, the special effects really stood out, the transitions that he…

Movie Review – The Card Counter
—
When I saw that Martin Scorsese was the executive producer, I thought this movie would be on par with the likes of Taxi Driver or Goodfellas. Wow, I was so totally wrong. Simply put, this movie sucked. It’s a dark character study, which is usually great as long as the writing is well done. Nope,…

Movie Review – Candyman
Where do I start? I’ve been staring at my screen for about an hour trying to come up with a review. I asked the man in charge (my brother, the CEO/Founder) if I could simply put “Meh.” That’s about it. He’d like a little more, so here it goes. Tony Todd as the Candyman. There…

Movie Review – The Night House
—
What a disappointment! The previews that I’ve been seeing had me really excited to see The Night House. It looked like it was going to deliver us something new and fresh. I think they tried but it fell so flat for me that I was tempted to leave. It was torture finishing it up. I’m…

Movie Review – Respect
—
Wow! What a movie. It was just as powerful as the amazing voice of Aretha Franklin. I loved it. Anyone and everyone should see this biography of a legend. This is one of the movies that comes out and captures your attention instantly. By the time the movie was over, I had a list of…

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. The movie doesn’t follow your normal timeline and introductions. You are given little pieces of a story that has already…

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 – Old
—
M. Night Shyamalan has proven himself as a Hollywood God. He brought us stellar films like The Sixth Sense and Signs and blew our minds. He brought us The Village and solidified himself as my favorite director in the business. Then something happened and he released Lady In The Water. I couldn’t figure out if…
