Movie Review – House of Gucci

November 24, 2021

Ridley Scott is at it again. House of Gucci was an amazing glimpse into a decadent lifestyle that most of us will never know. It isn’t just the story of their lives: there are so many more layers to this movie, spanning from actual events to glamour and shamefulness. Lady Gaga as Patrizia Gucci was […]

Movie Review – King Richard

November 19, 2021

The only knock on this movie is that we know how it ends. If this were fiction, there would be drama. But there’s also the enjoyment of knowing that this is a true story. This family does overcome the obstacles in their path. That’s far better than any dramatic fiction they could have provided. The […]

Movie Review – Ghostbusters: Afterlife

November 19, 2021

I laughed and I cried; Awwwwed and applauded. It was more than a perfect homage to GB84. It added fun new characters that I hope we’ll see moving forward in the Ghostbuster’s Universe. And I want to thank the writer/director Jason Reitman for not taking a deuce on a favorite childhood movie, as is so often […]

Movie Review – Clifford the Big Red Dog

November 10, 2021

This was a delightful movie. It’s sweet and funny with a terrific message for kids and adults alike. I usually watch children’s movies with my granddaughter. I like getting her opinion on these movies but she’s in school so I was flying solo today. Luckily for me, I know without a doubt that children will […]

Movie review-The Eternals

November 5, 2021

The TL;DR review: Not the MCU’s best work. In my book, The Eternals falls in the bottom third of MCU movies. What I liked Overall, really good acting by the entire cast. I especially liked the nuance Angelina Jolie and Richard Madden gave to their characters. They did a great job with expressions. Jolie has […]

Movie Review – The French Dispatch

November 3, 2021

Before I dive into the review, there are two things I want to make clear. First, The French Dispatch is a hard movie to do Peetimes for, which makes it hard to write a fair review, since I couldn’t be fully invested in the experience. But I will try to do my best. Second, if […]

Movie Review – Antlers

November 1, 2021

I’ve been seeing previews for Antlers for close to two years now. I’ve been waiting for its release for a very long time. My expectations were set very high and my excitement grew during those two years. (Yeah, another thing to thank Covid for.) Now I was sitting in the theater waiting for it to […]

Movie Review – Last Night in Soho

November 1, 2021

Last Night in Soho blew me away. From the very first scene, I was captivated by Thomasin McKenzie. I first saw her in Jojo Rabbit — she was great in that – but she was stupendous in Soho. I’d label my reaction to her as mesmerized throughout the entire film. I want to see a lot […]

Movie Review – A Mouthful of Air

October 30, 2021

I’m grading this movie on its technical and artistic merits. Because if I graded it on how it made me feel, I’d give it an F. Maybe that was the point — to make the audience feel like crap. Before the movie begins, there’s an on-screen warning — perhaps too late at that point — […]

Movie Rewatch: Austin Powers 3 – Goldmember

October 21, 2021

Just as it took less than a hundred years to go from the first powered flight to flying being an everyday method of commuting like the bus or a train, I wonder if we’ll ever see the day when time travel goes from being the latest technological miracle to something we use to fix trivial […]
