Movie Review – Mary Queen of Scots
Let me begin by saying I’ve studied this beguiling queen for decades. I once spent a day at Holyrood Palace walking in the gardens where Mary once walked. I climbed the stone staircase Darnley and his henchmen rushed up to murder David Rizzio, and saw the chamber where Mary was entertaining her four Marys, and…

Movie Review – The Favourite
—
The Favourite was an entirely different kind of movie. This period piece was raunchy, stylish, opulent and wicked all at the same time. Based on the previews I was excited to see it and it really delivered what I was hoping for. There was humor and a lot of it. I honestly can’t decide which…

Movie Review – Welcome to Marwen
—
There have been so many ‘based on a true story’ movies recently, that if this were real life, we’d all in a world of hurt. I don’t think I’ve actually seen a happy, comedic real-life movie. Maybe we just don’t like seeing people happy, whose lives turns out splendidly without any muss or fuss.…

Movie Review – Schindler’s List
—
I honestly don’t know how to review this movie; everything that could be said has been said. I have nothing new to add nor take away. So, I’ll just express my feelings I had after watching this masterpiece. I watched Schindler’s List a few years after it came out, and some studio executive thought it…

Movie Review – Green Book (It will touch your heart)
—
Green Book was amazing! Everything about this movie was awesome. The acting, the story, the conclusion, it all had me seeing stars. I’ve not enjoyed a movie this much in a very long time. Every person in America needs to see this movie. It simply touched my heart in a way that movies haven’t…

Movie Review – The Front Runner
—
I’m having a difficult time reviewing this movie. When I asked myself if I liked it, I had no answer. It bored me; it made me despise politicians even more, and now I think there is a lot of shadiness in journalism. Thanks, Hollywood. This movie is all about people doing whatever they want,…

Virgin Movie Review – Sully
—
Let’s just open with this axiom: Tom Hanks can do no wrong. Done. That’s not much of a review, is it? Starting again: I just watched Sully last night for the first time. Somehow, I never heard about “The Miracle on the Hudson.” I shy away from the news, because “news” usually equals “bad news”…

Movie Review – A Private War
—
I’ll start this review by getting one thing out of the way. I’m giving A Private War an A grade, which I don’t award often. And in this particular case, it’s something of a surprise that I’m not failing it with an F. Let me explain: I had a terrible time with this film.…

Movie Review – Boy Erased
—
I’ve been looking forward to this movie for a while now, but as I found out today, it was worth the wait. Boy Erased is an award winning movie, period. My prediction is that this flick will need a mighty big mantle to display all the bling it’ll garner during the Awards Season. The acting…

Movie Review – Beautiful Boy
—
Being a retired nurse, I feel qualified to recommend this movie to anyone going through recovery, or any friend or family member who’s trying desperately to stand by their side. Beautiful Boy succeeds — where so many other have have failed — in showing the insanity of addiction. Never, at any time, did I feel…
