Movie Review – The Secret Garden (2020)
—
I’m a huge Secret Garden fan and have been since a wonderful teacher read it chapter by chapter to my rapt class in the 4th grade. It’s on my top ten list of favorite children’s books, and will be getting a reread review this year as I work through my stack of morning yoga reads.…

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…

Indie Movie Review – Death Trip
Death Trip is not a good film. It’s disjointed, overlong, and unengaging. There are a range of mistakes ranging from the small (the four of them draw straws to see who’ll have to sleep in the “haunted” room but, after one person has picked one, he still has four in his hand) to the whole…

Indie Movie Review – The Parish
I don’t think it’s any secret that a film like The Parish isn’t exactly in my wheelhouse. It’s funny how I can happily accept and appreciate a make-believe world that has room for superheroes and super spies, but struggle with a world that has the supernatural running through it. Maybe it’s because the fantasy world…

Marvel Cinematic Universe will release four movies in last five months of 2021
It feels like we’re rounding the corner from the effects of COVID19, and if the vaccinations can outpace the variants then maybe, just maybe, we’ll have a normal second half of 2021. I’m sure that’s what movie lovers, and especially movie theaters, are hoping for. And the MCU is certainly going all in on a return…

Movie Review – Boss Level (2021’s Groundhog Day Loop film)
As the queen of Groundhog Day (GHD) time loop movies, of course I viewed and reviewed Boss Level. It’s only viewable on Hulu. This is too bad, because in a normal (ie, not CoVid year) this would be a crowd-pleasing blockbuster on the big screen. Seriously, Boss Level is a fantastic actioner that’s more comedic…

And the 2021 Oscar Nominees are…
It’s been a harsh year for movies. The pandemic closed down movie theaters. There are many that have yet to reopen. The pandemic also cut short the theatrical runs of films like Emma. Most major films moved their release dates to 2021 or beyond. Some films like Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch remain in limbo…

Indie Movie Review – 86 Melrose Avenue
86 Melrose Avenue starts with a bloody and battered Travis (Dade Elza) staggering down a street while sirens are blaring in the background and red & blue lights are flashing. Desperate for somewhere to hide, he stumbles across one of the few places that are open, the eponymous 86 Melrose Avenue, where he pulls out his gun…
