Movie Review – I Feel Pretty
—
Two kinds of people will like this film: Amy Schumer fans, and anyone who is body conscious (meaning: a lot of women). It doesn’t treat Schumer kindly (all the humor centers on her being chubby, yet thinking she’s hot stuff), and that kind of thing will be offensive to some. My very pretty movie companion felt…

Movie Review – Super Troopers 2
—
This movie gets an “F” and it’s not short for “funny.” I don’t find this type of movie remotely funny, but if this is the sort of thing you like I’d highly recommend waiting for the DVD, and watching it at home where you can relax and enjoy it in an altered state of consciousness.…

Movie Review: Sgt. Stubby – An American Hero
—
Sgt. Stubby is an amazingly good movie. It seems that service animals have become quite popular in today’s cinema and that’s a good thing. My father had a saying, “The more I’m around people, the better I like dogs.” To animal lovers, our pets are a member of the family — and how gratifying it…

Movie Review – Truth or Dare
—
I’m impressed. It’s so hard to come across a good horror/scary film anymore that I’ve kind of given up. I went in with really low expectations and walked out really satisfied. This storyline was a solid foundation paired up with some great actors and directing. It’s new and fresh. The many layers of the movie…

Movie Review – Isle of Dogs
Do see Isle of Dogs if it comes anywhere near your theater. It’s creative and quirky, with a great voiceover cast of big stars…and this is honestly something I haven’t seen before. Everyone in the production really pulled out a stylish little film. There are moments in this stop-animation tale that are sort of strange…

Movie Review: Rampage
—
Bacon cheese burgers. When you see it on the menu you know you want it. But you also know you shouldn’t have it. You scan the menu. Salad? Yeah, right. Pasta dish? Ummmm, maybe. But you keep coming back to that BCB. You’re still not decided when the waiter asks for your order, but your…

Movie review: The Miracle Season
—
I am quite obviously not the target audience for this movie: 50 year old male. However, even I was moved by the story. No one is going to win an award for creating, or performing, in this movie, but that doesn’t mean that they didn’t do their jobs. I felt like all of the actors…

Movie review: Chappaquiddick
—
I wholeheartedly recommend this movie to anyone who remembers this tragic event that dominated the news for months. Even though we all know the outcome of tragedy, what we are not privy to is how the outcome was reached. I appreciate the fact that writers, Andrew Logan and Taylor Allen, resisted the temptation to “Hollywood…

Movie review: Blockers
—
This is a typical popcorn comedy. If you enjoyed American Pie you will probably enjoy this one. It has fulfilled its purpose to make the audience laugh quite often. The plot is a cliche but really doesn’t matter that much to this movie. The acting is standard with the adults but impressive with the kids. I…

Movie Review – A Quiet Place (Spoiler-free)
It is truly amazing this movie is able to pack so much into so little. It’s a short movie, only 1:23 not counting the credits, and yet it feels like two hours. And there’s barely enough dialog to fill a sheet of paper: it feels like we know every character’s life stories. Right out of…
