Movie Review – Studio 666
—
I didn’t like it, a lot. To be fair, I’m not the target audience, by a long shot. I don’t like horror movies and before the movie I couldn’t name a single song by the Foo Fighters. Come to think of it, I still can’t. Just because I gave the movie a D/WTF doesn’t mean…

Movie Review – Cyrano
—
Peter Dinklage was masterful in expressing the hidden emotions of Cyrano de Bergerac. Cyrano is one of the more difficult characters to perform because he needs to say and express one thing to the characters in the movie, notably Roxanne, while simultaneously expressing to the audience his deep pain and longing for Roxanne. I can’t…

Movie Review – Uncharted
—
Cute, cute, cute. Stir together several heapings of The Goonies, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Raiders of the Lost Ark, fold in Tom Holland’s Spidey-like chattiness, and Uncharted is a tasty treat hitting the theaters right now. Indiana Jones is personally name-dropped, because, how could it NOT be, when the leads are crawling around ancient…

Movie Review – Death on the Nile
—
Really disappointing, especially as I liked Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express (2017) so very much. As in Orient, Death on the Nile is fabulously scenic and lush, with a great cast that seems to be trying to make a better movie out of this. Maybe at two hours and seven minutes, the movie is just too long…

Movie Review – Marry Me
—
What a fun, heartfelt movie. I’ve always enjoyed J Lo’s movies and this one doesn’t disappoint. The music was great and the acting was terrific. Owen Wilson played his role perfectly and the chemistry between the two was spot on. I loved the supporting cast, they gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. Sarah Silverman added…

Movie Review – Blacklight
—
Yuck. I didn’t like this movie at all. Let me start by saying it absolutely was not Liam Neeson’s fault. He performed just like always. He’s Liam. Always fun to watch because of his skillset, but even with his skills the movie was tedious, boring, and choppy. By choppy I mean the movie starts and…

Movie Review – Moonfall
—
Moonfall has all the makings of a great disaster movie. Earth’s population in danger, check. A down and out hero, check. The required uptight military personnel and the comedic relief, check. Even with all these key ingredients I still don’t feel like it stacks up to a movie like Armageddon. It was fun and…

Movie Review – Jackass Forever
—
Dear Lord, I didn’t know I could laugh so hard. From the opening scene to the end credits I laughed, then laughed more. They pulled all the stops in Jackass Forever. I’m giving this an A for sure. They had one goal in mind and that was to make us go ouch and laugh and…

Movie Review – The King’s Daughter
—
Adorable, charming, lush, great storytelling. I was super surprised at the loving care shown to detail in this little movie. The King’s Daughter was incredibly good-natured. I found myself smiling the whole way through; a rarity. That’s when I realized this might be A+ territory. Pierce Brosnan (as the Sun King, Louis XIV himself) has never been…

Movie Review – The Tiger Rising
—
Before I went to see The Tiger Rising I read a few reviews. The very first one I read stated, and I quote, “This movie is so bad I fell asleep and my six year old wanted to leave.” So my husband, my nine-year-old granddaughter, and I were front and center — and I was…
