Movie Review – Twisters
—
First up, I’m a huge fan of the original Twister movie. I’ve seen it at least a dozen times. The disaster-movie genre is my guilty pleasure. This genre usually features a dud of a plot and lackluster acting, but the action is suitably apocalyptic. Exactly what I love. 🙂 It is super hard to rate this…

The Five Best Movies You ‘Probably’ Haven’t Seen (Dan’s version)
—
Maybe you have seen a few of these movies. Maybe you haven’t. But I’m going to guess that you haven’t because when I bring them up people often have never heard of them, or they’re like, “Oh yeah. That was a great movie.” So here you go. My top-5 movies that I think you probably…

Movie Review – Longlegs
—
I struggled all night about what I would say concerning Longlegs. I have to admit while I was sitting there last night that I was praying for it to be over. I couldn’t stand watching it so badly that I considered walking out. But alas, I have a job to do. It gave me a headache…

Movie Review – Fly Me to the Moon
—
I’m a huge space nerd. I worked at Space Camp and I’ve talked to dozens of astronauts. Obviously, I was looking forward to this movie, but with a little trepidation because I was curious how they would approach the fake moon landing angle. After seeing the movie, I can say that space nerds like me shouldn’t be…

Movie Review – Possum Trot
—
Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot has an amazing message and makes you feel good about what this very small, rural town did. This is a true story of how one small community changed the lives of countless homeless children. Using their faith in God and pure determination, they changed and saved lives.…

Movie Review – MaXXXine
—
Maxxxine was a trip and a half. My favorite, absolute favorite thing was it’s set in 1985. Those were my years! Seeing some of the same outfits and hairstyles I would sport was a ride down memory lane. The music… don’t get me started on that, it was back in a time that music was…

Movie Review – Despicable Me 4
—
This is not a Pixar movie that appeals to adults just as much as kids. (BTW, this is a Universal/Illumination production.) It’s pretty much a young kids’ movie, beginning to end. This is one of those movies that mom and dad do rock, paper, scissors to decide who has to sit through the movie with their kid(s).…

Movie Review – Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1
—
Horizon: An American Saga-Chapter 1 was a solid start to what will become a four part film series. Kevin Costner sure does love his western movies. I was reading an article about the movie and found out that he invested $38 million dollars of his own money. When the film premiered at the Cannes Film…

Movie Review – Kinds of Kindness
—
Make no mistake, this movie is not for the squeamish or meant for most audiences. It is a surreal, dark comedy which might be best categorized in the psychological horror genre. It runs the gamut as to what might disturb the movie-goer including murder, suicide, sexual assault, animal cruelty, cannibalism, etc. As such, movie fans…

Movie Review – The Exorcism
—
The Exorcism wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for but it wasn’t a complete let down. The acting was great but the pacing felt off. It moved slow and the build up didn’t blow up, it’s just kind of fizzled out. I love Russell Crow, he’s always great in these parts, he’s actually been doing…
