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…

Movie Review – The Watchers
—
The Watchers had me on the fence. It’s not as good as I was hoping it would be but it definitely wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Knowing this film was attached to the Shyamalan name I was excited because I know there are going to be things you miss and won’t…

Movie Review – Bad Boys: Ride or Die
—
This is the first Bad Boys movie I’ve seen—at least, I think it is. If I’ve seen another, it certainly didn’t leave an impression. Was I disappointed? Not really, because my expectations going in were low. The plot was, you know, good enough to keep the story going. The acting from the supporting cast had…

Movie Review – Babes
—
Babes had me roaring with laughter. The hormonal humor that is present throughout the entire movie is beyond funny. There’s a particular scene in the movie where Dawn’s water is slowly breaking in a theater seat, and I found myself laughing so hard I almost peed in my theater seat! Yes, it’s that funny. Not…
