Movie Review – Brian Banks
I really love movies based on a true story. I’m always curious to see how the storyline will play out, and if it seems grossly embellished or not. Brian Banks is relatable and “reel” on so many levels. Yes, this movie can be categorized into the files of the “MeToo Movement” for sure, but…

Dumbo Review – The Original 1941 Animated Classic: High Time for a Remake
The original 1941 Dumbo is a strange little movie. Not only is only an hour long (it’s almost a long “short”, if you get my meaning), but has many weird scenes of mostly padding (which would make for great Peetimes, BTW). It’s also…um…wildly racist (there’s no other way to say this, and not in just…

Best Roman-Themed Movies to Watch For The Ides of March

Movie Review – Stan & Ollie – Surprisingly Genuine
โ
Stan & Ollie is so much more than a biography; it’s a love story between two men who had great respect for each other. John C. Reilly and Steve Coogan were perfect for their roles. Not only did they look the part, but the chemistry between the two actors was beautiful. It takes a couple…

Movie Review – They Shall Not Grow Old
Watching They Shall Not Grow Old was an experience unlike any I’ve had before. Knowing all these fresh-faced boys, who were initially so excited about going off to war were about to die: that was hard. Unlike most movies when the director yells ‘it’s a wrap,’ the actors go on to another movie: in…
