Movie Review – Happy Death Day – Very Fun, Almost Cute Horror Film
I was really surprised with this movie. I thought it was going to be totally predictable and played out. They surprised me; it was really good. I loved how the same day would start over and over again. You’d think that it would get boring, but the way they kept switching things up kept you…

Blade Runner: 2049 review
Blade Runner 2049 was almost an awesome movie. It was a worthy sequel that felt “right”, like settling in after a long break (of actual decades — in both real and movie time) to catch up on old events. Even the new characters seemed to carry echoes of previous incarnations. Hans Zimmer created a track…

Movie Review – The LEGO Ninjago Movie (the least exciting Lego film for adults)
Here it is in a nutshell, parents; if your kiddies love watching Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, then they’ll have a laugh out loud good time watching this movie. There’s no need for me to go into the technical aspect of the movies — kids don’t care about that stuff. They just like to see things…

Movie Review – It (Chapter 1)
Normally RunPee Sis sees the horror films like this, but since she lives in Orlando she’s in hurricane prep mode right now — her own horror movie. So I’ve been pressed into duty. Both the critics (90%) and users (92%) at RottenTomatoes.com gave this movie high marks. Personally, I was a little bored by the…

Movie Review – Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
—
This is a hard one to rate. It was super duper amazingly gorgeous. A+ visuals, almost Avatar-levels of creative beauty…it was definitely above the best of Guardians of the Galaxy’s fantastical “Knowwhere” and “Ego” scenes (stuff I generally tout as the prettiest sci-fi scenes in recent cinema). However, Valererian had a boring, predictable, throwaway plot…

Movie Review – Transformers: The Last Knight
—
I love me some good old action-filled, giant robot bashing, planet crushing movies as much as anyone, but this a real yawner. There was nothing new to see in the fight scenes with the bots. There are a bunch of characters that we are told we should care about, but don’t. The first hour of…

Movie Review – Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 2
There are two reviews here; Dan’s and Jill’s, enjoy! Dan says: The first GotG is, I think, the very best of the Marvel movies. While GotGv2 isn’t quite as good, it certainly didn’t disappoint. The theme of the story (father/son reunion) isn’t anything new, but writer/director James Gunn weaves a thread into the story that…

Movie Review – The Circle
—
Grade – C+ (a little bit above average) Imagine if Facebook and Google got married, had a monster-child, and named it Circle. There you have it. Could this really happen? Yes indeed, and to take that one step further, I’ll wager that there’s a monster-child already gestating out there in cyber space. The Circle had…
