Movie Review – Star Wars – Rise of Skywalker (spoiler free)
So. It’s done. After 42 years of buildup, the Star Wars Skywalker saga is over. I liked it! But I didn’t LOVE it. Which is okay, as all I wanted for Christmas was for Rise of Skywalker to not suck. So I can happily say that Director JJ Abrams did his best to undo the…

Movie Review – Bombshell
Bombshell was full of great acting. Every single actor/actress in this movie gave it their all. It was a star studded performance. I really enjoyed the direction the movie took. You are watching this basically through the eyes of three very strong women. Theron, Kidman and Robbie each nailed their characters. Their presence wasn’t only…

Movie Review – Cats
—
I must admit, I was a little hesitant about seeing this movie, because the trailer was not that enticing, given the over-dramatic look of the cats’ upgraded appearance. I am a huge Cats on broadway fan — so because I’m loyal, I figured I would give it a try. If you’ve never seen the broadway…

Movie Review – Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
Cards on the table. I went into this film pretty sure I was going to enjoy it. I remember going to see “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” (or just “Star Wars” as it was back then!) as a student back in 1977. Here I am, retired, going to see the final episode…

Movie Review – Richard Jewell

Movie Review – Black Christmas
—
I was so excited to find out I was going to get to see Black Christmas on Friday the 13th! It’s always been a lucky day for me, until today. Today …that trend ended. I was so disappointed with Black Christmas. Let me first state that I have not seen the original. I didn’t…

6 Classic Sci-Fi Movies You Can’t Afford to Miss
The medium of film is a Holy Grail for science fiction fans: you can simply point to Avengers: Endgame and Arrival for some of its more recent eventful samplings. But the triumphs go much further back. Indeed, from I am Legend to Blade Runner, the silver screen’s preserved some of the greatest sci-fi stories ever…

Movie Review – Jumanji: The Next Level
So here we go again! If you saw Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle you’ll know what to expect: action, thrills, and humour in abundance, but with enough tweaks to make things feel fresh. If you’ve seen the trailers and, to be honest, they’ve been difficult not to see then you’ll know the premise is the…

Movie Review – Playmobil: The Movie
I’m thinking the little tykes from ages 2 to 6 will enjoy this movie. My great granddaughter, age 6, has been an avid watcher of the Playmobil videos on YouTube for several years. I honestly think children older than 7 or 8 will be bored with this simple animated film. I found the movie irritating,…
