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…

Movie Review – Together Together
Together Together is undoubtedly my new favorite movie of the year. I actually felt rejuvenated and lighter when I walked out of the theater. It was fun, it was serious, it was exactly right. Ed Helms has been a favorite of mine since The Hangover. I thought he was perfect for that role, just like…

Movie Review – In the Earth
—
In the Earth should be in the trash can. This movie flopped so bad it reminded me of a fish out of water. The noises they used were horrible. They grated on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard, but worse. It didn’t add to the movie at all, like some sound effects do. Four…
