Movie Review – Don’t Look Up
—
This was an A+ movie at all levels: acting, directing, story, message, humor, cinematography, wardrobe… Okay, maybe not wardrobe. But still: A+ In case you didn’t already know, Don’t Look Up is a satire on the USA’s reaction to climate change, but they replaced the climate crisis with a comet. What stands out most for me is…

Movie Review – National Champions
—
National Champions did a great job of breaking down the behind-the-scenes of college sports. It’s definitely an eye-opener to things I personally had never thought of. The athletes that get out there and give us our Saturday game day really do it at a cost to themselves. This movie points out the entire breakdown on…

Movie Review – House of Gucci
Ridley Scott is at it again. House of Gucci was an amazing glimpse into a decadent lifestyle that most of us will never know. It isn’t just the story of their lives: there are so many more layers to this movie, spanning from actual events to glamour and shamefulness. Lady Gaga as Patrizia Gucci was…

Movie Review – King Richard
—
The only knock on this movie is that we know how it ends. If this were fiction, there would be drama. But there’s also the enjoyment of knowing that this is a true story. This family does overcome the obstacles in their path. That’s far better than any dramatic fiction they could have provided. The…

Movie Review – Ghostbusters: Afterlife
—
I laughed and I cried; Awwwwed and applauded. It was more than a perfect homage to GB84. It added fun new characters that I hope we’ll see moving forward in the Ghostbuster’s Universe. And I want to thank the writer/director Jason Reitman for not taking a deuce on a favorite childhood movie, as is so often…

Ghostbusters 3: Afterlife – An Original Cast Ghostbusters Teaser Trailer
I’m on board for the upcoming Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Also, it might make me rewatch Ghostbusters 2. MAYBE. Not sure I can stomach it — number 2 was that bad. But really, this is the time to pull this series out of the dust bin, since most of the main players are still at large and…

Movie Review – Clifford the Big Red Dog
—
This was a delightful movie. It’s sweet and funny with a terrific message for kids and adults alike. I usually watch children’s movies with my granddaughter. I like getting her opinion on these movies but she’s in school so I was flying solo today. Luckily for me, I know without a doubt that children will…

Movie review-The Eternals
The TL;DR review: Not the MCU’s best work. In my book, The Eternals falls in the bottom third of MCU movies. What I liked Overall, really good acting by the entire cast. I especially liked the nuance Angelina Jolie and Richard Madden gave to their characters. They did a great job with expressions. Jolie has…

Movie Review – The French Dispatch
—
Before I dive into the review, there are two things I want to make clear. First, The French Dispatch is a hard movie to do Peetimes for, which makes it hard to write a fair review, since I couldn’t be fully invested in the experience. But I will try to do my best. Second, if…

Movie Review – Antlers
—
I’ve been seeing previews for Antlers for close to two years now. I’ve been waiting for its release for a very long time. My expectations were set very high and my excitement grew during those two years. (Yeah, another thing to thank Covid for.) Now I was sitting in the theater waiting for it to…
