Movie Review – Minions
Another outstanding movie in the Despicable franchise. Heads up parents: you’re going to laugh right along with the kiddies, and even when the kiddies aren’t laughing. The sound track for Minions is right out of the 60’s and heavy on The Beatles, so even grandparents will be entertained. I liked the story, which is actually…

Movie Review – Inside Out
—
When Disney/Pixar releases a new animated film, people notice. Especially if their name is mom or dad. So, when trailers for Inside Out started floating around the inter webs, there was a collective “yippee” in the minds of thousands of parents everywhere. Chance are, that “yippee” came from the mouth of one inner voice –…

Jurassic World Movie References
Now that everyone has seen Jurassic World… You did see it, right? (It broke box office records so I’ll assume you did.) Let’s talk about the incredible number of movie references – some intentional, some perhaps not – in this movie. Note: minor spoilers to follow. Obviously the references to the original Jurassic Park were plentiful. Most are…

Jurassic World – Movie Review
Grade: B+ I have mixed feelings about the movie. The story, and most of the characters, drag the movie down. I’d give that part of the movie a C-, at best. Chris Pratt is definitely a bright spot. He’s perfectly cast for the roll of Owen — the raptor wrangler. He can be funny when…

Movie Review – Pitch Perfect 2
Rarely does a sequel out-shine the original, but such is the case with Pitch Perfect 2. The musical numbers are great, and Fat Amy keeps us laughing. If you liked Perfect Pitch, you’ll love PP2. This is definitely an A movie. Movie Grade: A

Fast and the Furious – Furious 7 Movie Review
I have been waiting on pins and needles for this movie. I am undeniably Paul Walker’s biggest fan. (Based on an extensive poll I conducted during lunch today with my daughter.) I had absolutely no idea how they were going to proceed with his last film. They didn’t disappoint me. It was tastefully done;…

Movie Review – Do You Believe? – A Film to Help You Find Hope
—
I’ll admit I was of the mind-set that I was going to hate this movie and be bored beyond tears. As it happens, I was moved to tears. I’m not a religious person. I didn’t find God in this movie, but what I found was hope for humanity. There are some wonderful people in this…

Movie Review – Black and White
—
Grade: B I’m not sure what director Mike Binder wants the audience to take away from this film. I didn’t view it as a racially motivated movie; it’s more of a family drama. The writing and directing are spot on, and the cast was excellent. I would love to see Kevin Costner get at the…

Movie Review – John Wick 1
I loved the movie John Wick; it was violent without being gory. What I liked most about the movie was the choreography of the action scenes. I’ve seen my share of action movies and I must say that the action in John Wick is top notch. That shouldn’t come as a surprise, because the directors…
