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…

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. They definitely…

Movie Review – The House Next Door
—
The House Next Door was a total bummer. It sucked, get it? …that was a vampire reference. I was so disappointed that with such an awesome cast the movie was tedious and too long. I read quite a few reviews on this movie and they are all pretty much the same. Save your money and…

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 – The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It
—
As expected, I thought the movie was great. I’m a die-hard fan of this franchise and I’ve got zero complaints on The Devil Made Me Do It. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson were marvelous. The way they have brought Ed and Lorraine Warren to life is outstanding. I feel this movie showcases them at their…

Movie Review – Dream Horse
—
The supporting cast did a great job. The different personalities and viewpoints were on-spot. The chemistry flowed flawlessly, adding another layer to the film. My one complaint about the movie: I could barely understand a word they said. Their accents were so thick that at least 20 times I asked my husband what was just…

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! The comedy was so well done that I’d laugh as I was crying.…

Movie Review – Spiral
—
Spiral disappointed me to great lengths. It was really about three minutes in when I figured out I didn’t like it at all. The acting was dreadful. Chris Rock was so stiff in his delivery that he looked like he had a stick up his butt. Yeah, I said it. Stick to standing up —…

Movie Review – Separation
—
Separation was a big flop. I really tried to like this movie, but couldn’t find one single thing to like about it. From the acting to the disjointed story, it was all a let down. Character development was almost nonexistent, which is part of my gripe. I need to at least be able to sympathize…
