Movie Review – Venom
—
Let me start off by saying this isn’t my genre. I usually don’t do the Peetimes for these types of movies, since I’m not the target audience. However, I asked my brother to let me do it because I’m a huge Tom Hardy fan. My husband is the target audience and he loved it. He thought…

Movie Review – A Star Is Born
—
Last week I bitterly complained about the lack of chemistry between the cast of Little Women. It was pretty much a dog of a movie. This week, A Star Is Born had so much chemistry I expected a huge on screen explosion — and that’s what I got. Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga together created an…

Movie Review – Hell Fest
—
Hell Fest was a total cliche. It was very predictable, yet it was enjoyable to watch. The idea of being in a very public place where murders are going on, but unnoticed, was a great idea. I embrace everything Halloween. This holiday is hands-down my favorite time of the year. I have been known to…

Movie Review – Little Women
—
Since it has been a full half century since I read *Little Women*, I can’t comment on how well the movie tracks with the book. But really, it doesn’t matter because the book and this movie have very little in common. The current *Little Women* is a chaotic mess. The thing that really stood out…

Movie Review – Night School
—
I rate this movie a B because the comedic chemistry between Kevin and Tiffany was great! I laughed through the whole movie. The plot was meaty between the different characters. Each student really had their own reason for going to night school and some type of personal struggle thereof. The scenes developed around those personal…

Movie Review – SmallFoot
—
It is such a relief to watch a movie I can give an A+ rating to without hesitation! It was charming, warm-hearted (albeit set in a cold place), engaging, funny, and surprisingly detailed. I especially loved the many interesting things to look at in the yeti village. I was never bored. I see a lot…

Movie Review – Lizzie
—
Let me start with this simple statement: if you feel like going to see this movie, just don’t. Save your money; make some popcorn at home, and watch literally any documentary Netflix has on Lizzie Borden. You’ll get the exact same information we’ve been given since August 4, 1892, when the murders took place. Let’s…

Movie Review – Life Itself
—
Typically, I don’t read other critics’ reviews before writing my own. However, I felt compelled to do so after seeing a blurb that condemned *Life Itself* to the fiery pits of Hell. I do not agree. I have to say that disagreeing with the ‘professional’ critics makes me ever so eager to write my own…

Movie Review – Assassination Nation
—
This movie was painful for me to watch. I tried to like it; I really did. However, nothing in the movie could convince me otherwise. It sucked. I will admit I am a little bit over the age of the targeted audience; perhaps that is why the movie didn’t appeal to me. It felt super…

Movie Review – The House With A Clock In Its Walls
—
I wish this film was better. It started out lively, with some nice funky humor for a while. There were good production values throughout. Unfortunately, the story went downhill fast at the middle mark, and became a dreadful muddle by the end. I watched the children in the theater to make sure it wasn’t just…
