Movie Review: Justice League (Snyder’s Cut)
—
I tried. I really tried to like this movie. Zack Snyder’s Justice League didn’t come in with sky high expectations. I just just hoping to watch a nice long-long-long movie about superheroes and be transported for a little while. Nope. It was bad. It was so, so bad. And it was long. I think Vera…

Indie Documentary Review – Hit Record
In the world of indie films, the documentary is probably the easiest to make look like a full budget outing; there’s no need for expensive visual effects, top quality acting, or high priced music and sound effects. The audience expects the speaker to be aware and nervous that they’re being filmed, as opposed to the…

Sundance Festival Movie Review – Summer of Soul (…Or When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)
Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson presented his anticipated directorial debut on opening night of the Sundance Film Festival. The movie documents the Harlem Cultural Festival that took place over six weekends in the summer of 1969. This was the same summer as Woodstock. The Harlem Cultural Festival featured performances that were just as amazing and significant. The…

Sundance Festival Movie Review – R#J
I’ve taken a vacation from Facebook. Which makes it ironic that one of my favorite films from this year’s Sundance festival is drenched in social media.

It seems like…

Children’s Book Review – Bunnicula
I’ve been doing a little light yoga reading routine each morning. I put my legs in the air for 10 minutes, before I even get out of bed, to take me from sleepy to wakey in a gentler fashion. Hey, it’s Doctor Approved! I decided to take this daily time to read through some kiddie…

Movie Rewatch Review – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
My favorite of all the Harry Potter films — and books for that matter — this is just an A+ good time. If you like a quest-type adventure story, Goblet of Fire is a fine addition to the ranks of high fantasy. Unfortunately, I can’t speak for how well this tale holds together if you…

Movie Review – Chaos Walking
Let me start off by saying I had not heard of this movie at all until RunPee Dan asked me to see it. I also didn’t know it was based on a book. That said, I don’t know how the movie stacked up to the book. I’m wondering if the book was more detailed with…

Movie Review – Raya and the Last Dragon
—
Where’s the A++ button on this thing?? Raya and the Last Dragon is by far my favorite Disney film ever!! I loved it so much that me and my granddaughter stood up and clapped. There was a standing ovation in our theater. During the credits you’re shown that it took 400 people to make this…

Indie Documentary Review – Sex, Drugs & Bicycles
—
Buy one, get one free! Yes, you can have a political documentary AND a comedy. Ok, maybe it’s not screamingly funny but wryly amusing, observational humour can definitely be used as a description. What we have in Sex, Drugs & Bicycles is an American, Jonathan Block — Writer/Director/Narrator — who fondly remembers a trip to The…
