Movie Review – Brahms: The Boy II
—
I really wanted to like this movie. I was excited to see it, but it let me down. I’m gonna start off with, who was in charge of casting? Katie Holmes and Owain Yeoman had zero chemistry. I didn’t buy they were a married couple in love with each other. Nope. That bothered me throughout…

Movie Review – The Lodge
—
I found this movie boring. It never reached the level I was expecting. Nothing stands out as appealing. The acting was passable at best. I can find way more things that annoyed me than things that entertained me. There is nothing special to see here. It was dreary, and the way they used the sound…

Movie Review – Downhill
—
I loved this movie. It was absolutely not the normal Will Ferrell comedy I was expecting. I love his comedies: Step Brothers is in my top 5 movies, but this wasn’t remotely like that. It was great in so many different ways. Here’s a heads up first: don’t go expecting a comedy. I mean there…
