Virgin Movie Review – Sully
—
Let’s just open with this axiom: Tom Hanks can do no wrong. Done. That’s not much of a review, is it? Starting again: I just watched Sully last night for the first time. Somehow, I never heard about “The Miracle on the Hudson.” I shy away from the news, because “news” usually equals “bad news”…

Movie Review – A Private War
—
I’ll start this review by getting one thing out of the way. I’m giving A Private War an A grade, which I don’t award often. And in this particular case, it’s something of a surprise that I’m not failing it with an F. Let me explain: I had a terrible time with this film.…

Movie Review – Boy Erased
—
I’ve been looking forward to this movie for a while now, but as I found out today, it was worth the wait. Boy Erased is an award winning movie, period. My prediction is that this flick will need a mighty big mantle to display all the bling it’ll garner during the Awards Season. The acting…

Movie Review – Widows
—
Widows is a tightly wound drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat with perfect pacing, incredible acting and spot-on directing. I want to give kudos to Joe Walker for the amazing way this movie was edited. In the opening scene, he takes us from a sexy bedroom scene to a chaotic…

Fantastic Beasts 2 Review from a Harry Potter Novice
I’m not a Harry Potter fan. Don’t get me wrong; I like the stories. I think they are rich and compelling. But I’ve never read the books — it’s on the list — and I personally wouldn’t bother seeing any of the movies on opening weekend if it wasn’t my job. I’m only setting the…

Movie Review – Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
I don’t know what happened with this movie. It looked great from the trailers, and seemed like the story would make sense. The film itself, though, was a big beautiful mess. I’m not even sure what I saw. I’m essentially a Harry Potter expert. I’ve read the books dozens of times, seen the movies…

Virgin Movie Binge Reviews — Rocky 1 and 2
Rocky is something I’ve heard about for all my life, but to be honest, I had never seen any Rocky films. The first Rocky related movie I watched was Creed in 2015, and I thought it was a pretty good movie. Now, as Creed 2 is about to be released, I took on a project…

Movie Rewatch Review – Patriot Games
Patriot Games was always on my list of favorite films, up until some other good stuff came along (like the Harry Potter films, the Lord of the Rings, The Hunger Games, and even The Martian) to push it off my personal Top Ten List. Still, it’s a very fine movie. Really! The soundtrack and Enya crescendos…

Virgin Movie Review – Gone Girl (with Spoilers)
I feel physically unclean after seeing Gone Girl. Seriously. Please excuse me while I take a scalding shower…. Okay, I’m back. Very clean. HEY, past this point, there be SPOILERS in DETAIL about Gone Girl. I think I washed the stench of evil from my skin. Eeeeevil. E-VIL. The ‘girl’ is the scariest psychotic imaginable.[pullquote]…
