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…

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…
