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…

Movie Review – The Bikeriders
—
The Bikeriders starts off following Kathy (Jodie Comer) into the bar the club hangs out in. On a chance encounter, she meets up with Benny (Austin Butler) and it’s almost love at first sight. Kathy is a trip, she has such a screen presence that her style blew me away, and she almost hypnotized me…

Movie Review – Inside Out 2
—
Inside Out was absolutely charming, endearing and thought provoking. Disney accomplished turning something (puberty) that’s hard on everyone into something that can be handled with simple kindness and love. I took my granddaughter and her best friend to see the movie. My granddaughter thought it was cute but she felt it was better suited to…

30th Anniversary Rewatch – Speed
—
How can Speed be thirty years old when 1975 is only twenty years ago? Such is the vagaries of the perception of time concomitant with old age that has more to do with my family doctor than Doctor Who. If there has to be a film to watch again in order to celebrate an anniversary…
