Movie Rewatch Review – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
My favorite of all the Harry Potter films — and books for that matter — this is just an A+ good time. If you like a quest-type adventure story, Goblet of Fire is a fine addition to the ranks of high fantasy. Unfortunately, I can’t speak for how well this tale holds together if you…

Sundance 2021 Festival Movie Review – On the Count of Three
My Favorite Movie at Sundance This was my favorite movie at Sundance this year. It has a dark premise and comes with a major trigger warning. (Seriously, if you’re thinking of harming yourself please use the crisis text line instead of seeing this film, or even reading the rest of this review). But I found…

Movie Review – Raya and the Last Dragon
—
Where’s the A++ button on this thing?? Raya and the Last Dragon is by far my favorite Disney film ever!! I loved it so much that me and my granddaughter stood up and clapped. There was a standing ovation in our theater. During the credits you’re shown that it took 400 people to make this…

Jill’s Top 10 Movies of 2020
Well, let’s start by saying 2020 sucked, movie-wise. At least in the theatrical releases. With the pandemic keeping us inside, theaters have been (mostly) closed all year — tough for film fanatics like us. The trickle of new wide release films hasn’t provided much in the way of outstanding offerings: I’ve had to fill in…

Indie Review-Beast Mode
Beast Mode is a hidden gem of a horror film. It stars former child actor C. Thomas Howell. His comedic performance makes the whole film. What’s Good About Beast Mode This is a solid horror-comedy. And if you’re looking for something that’s light on gore, this is a great pick. It also has some good…

Indie Movie Review – Happy Face
Happy Face is an awesome film. I just had to get that off my chest right from the get go. It’s not a laugh a minute rib tickler, it’s not an edge of the seat thriller, and it’s not a mind bending thought provoker. It’s a drama about the lives of a group of people…

Movie Review – News of the World
—
Tom Hanks is at it again. News Of The World was magnificent. I’m not sure if there is a role out there that Hanks can’t master. He fit the part better than little Forrest Gump’s shoes fit. It’s a slow moving movie, but for a very good reason. They immersed you into the Old West.…

Classic Movie Rewatch Review – Die Hard
Die Hard is, without doubt, a cracking action film. A Christmas film though? Well, it has a weary traveller, a pregnant woman, gifts, and celebrates the value of family and the spirit of friendship. Add to those the soundtrack, the fact it takes place at an office party (a real one, mind, one with a jerk…
