Movie Review – Uncle Drew
—
Uncle Drew was surprisingly charming. I was ready for a slapstick basketball movie but was surprised with a movie that has substance. There are a lot of touching moments that make you smile with warmth, and also moments that made the crowd slap their sides — they were laughing that hard. It’s got a little…

Movie Review – Gotti
—
This movie was a muddled mess. This biographic piece couldn’t quite pick up steam or really even figure out what it wanted to be. I was waiting for the big moment but there was none. It was just two hours of a lot of names thrown at you, never fully explaining anything. On a positive…

Movie Review – Hereditary
Hereditary wasn’t terrible. I was really on the fence about seeing this movie. The trailers made it look really good but I’ve been burned by that so many times I’ve lost count. I’m not a fan of A24 — the company that released the movie. I haven’t liked a single one of their movies. So…

Movie Review – Action Point
—
I’m a huge Johnny Knoxville fan; I’ve seen every one of his movies at least five times. It kills me to say this, but I probably won’t watch this one again. It lacked in a way that I can’t quite define. I wasn’t all hyped up after this one, and felt a little blah during…

Movie review: Bad Samaritan
—
What an awesome movie! I hadn’t even heard of it when I was told this was my movie for the week, so I wasn’t really expecting much. This movie grabs you and just plain leaves you breathless. What a roller coaster of a ride. I would absolutely recommend this movie. The moral dilemma that takes…

Movie Review – Traffik
—
From the trailers that I had been seeing, I was really hyped for this movie. Yet again, I was disappointed. The plot is a good one. It could have been a really great movie, but they flopped on the ending. There was so much build up and tension that when the finale hit, I was…

Movie Review – Truth or Dare
—
I’m impressed. It’s so hard to come across a good horror/scary film anymore that I’ve kind of given up. I went in with really low expectations and walked out really satisfied. This storyline was a solid foundation paired up with some great actors and directing. It’s new and fresh. The many layers of the movie…

Movie review: Sherlock Gnomes
—
Let’s start off by saying this — the trailers I saw made this movie look like it was going to be hilarious. I was bit by the deceiving trailer bug again. Yeah, there were funny parts, but not as many as I was expecting. I paid attention to the adults and the children in the…

Movie review: Unsane
—
Luckily, before watching Unsane, I looked it up on IMDB. I discovered that the entire movie was shot with an IPhone camera. I was really curious to see how the movie ‘looked.’ It was hard to get used to, and it kind of threw me off. For the first hour of the movie I really…

Movie review: I Can Only Imagine
—
I Can Only Imagine was an amazing movie. It was gut wrenching, sad, happy, moving, and powerful — all at the same time. I’ve always liked the song, but now I have a deeper understanding of where it came from. The childhood Bart went through was devastating to me, as a mother and grandmother. I cried…
