Movie Review – It Chapter Two
I’ve got so much to say about It Chapter Two, I’m not usually one for long reviews, but this one calls for it. Here we go… Let’s start off on a positive note. The beginning absolutely captivated me. I loved how each of the Losers were contacted and asked to come back to Derry.…

Movie Review – Don’t Let Go
—
My personal opinion: I loved it. The movie starts off fast and keeps gaining momentum, hurtling us toward an incredible ending. It’s action packed. The story was interesting and the acting was superb. I don’t know why so many people are trashing it. I’ve read about thirty reviews talking about how this story has been…

Movie Review – Angel Has Fallen
I did the Peetimes and reviews for the previous two movies in this series. (And by the way, you don’t need to see or remember the other movies to appreciate this one. It stands on its own pretty well.) I checked the archives and I gave the first movie Olympus Has Fallen a B+ and the…

—
I just watched 1999s Deep Blue Sea for the first time, during Shark Week 2019. DBS is sort of like Jurassic World if the Mosasaurus started hunting the lab techs. With some Samuel L Jackson on the side — although someone else got his famous line. And there’s a nod to Jaws. (Licence plate, but…

Movie Review – Brian Banks
I really love movies based on a true story. I’m always curious to see how the storyline will play out, and if it seems grossly embellished or not. Brian Banks is relatable and “reel” on so many levels. Yes, this movie can be categorized into the files of the “MeToo Movement” for sure, but…

Movie Review – Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
—
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark thoroughly entertained my 6 year old granddaughter. I found myself slightly bored. For starters, I was expecting a more mature horror movie based on the previews I saw. I didn’t realize that it was from a series of books written in the 1980’s. I wish I would have…
