Movie Review – The Farewell
—
I loved this movie. It was full of emotions and love and laughs; it really has a little bit of everything. Awkwafina is really proving herself as a very worthy actress. I’ve seen her in many different types of roles now and she has rocked everyone of them. I’m not usually a fan of movies…

Movie Review – The Angry Birds Movie 2
I’m not sure just who’s the target audience here. The kiddies will love the action and slap stick humor, sorta like the Looney Tunes cartoons of long ago, but that stuff never gets old. Does it? The adults who became addicted to this mindless little app will also flock (pun intended) to AB2. There’s plenty…

Movie Review – The Art of Racing in the Rain
The Art of Racing in the Rain is yet another animal flick to tug at your heart strings. Are you a dog lover? If you answer yes, then this movie will not only tug at your heart strings, but will rip them out of your chest and wrap them around your windpipe. One man in…

Movie Review – Stuber
—
After you watch Stuber, you’ll never look at your Uber driver the same way again. I’m a Uber consumer and could totally relate to this action comedy completely. Big burly LAPD Cop Vic Manning (Dave Bautista) has an unusual day after he has lasik surgery. Vic has been working on a drug case for a…

Movie Review – Yesterday
—
The only reason I didn’t give Yesterday an A+ is that, at least for now, I don’t think it’s as good as Love Actually — both written by Richard Curtis — and both are very similar. Yesterday checks all the boxes for a great film: it’s terribly well acted; the pacing rolls along with the…

Movie Review – Late Night
—
So, we have Emma Thompson, Mindy Kaling, and John Lithgow. It’s a recipe for a great movie. The writing was done perfectly by Mindy Kaling, never missing a beat when it comes to the one liners and caustic comebacks. I have to say that this amazing talent has a great future in Hollywood, and basically…

Movie Review – Toy Story 4
Vera and I saw the movie together and collaborated on the Peetimes. We agreed that Toy Story 4 deserves an A. It has everything you could want: fun action for the kids, plenty of humor, especially with the two new toys Bunny and Ducky — voiced by Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key respectively — and…

Movie Review – The Dead Don’t Die
Dead Don’t Die as super low budget movie is somewhat cute, but nothing really good. Don’t see it in the theaters: its a good one to wait for streaming. Save your theater money now for the better movies. There was one cool idea — zombies are attracted to what interested them most while alive.…

Movie Review – Men in Black: International
It isn’t that there’s much wrong with MiB International so much as there isn’t anything right about it: the humor is middling; the pacing is choppy; and the plot/character development is bland. I can’t complain about the acting. Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson did good enough with what they had to work with, but Thor:…

Movie Review – Shaft
—
I loved Shaft, as did the entire audience based on the many, many times there was crazy laughter in the theater. I had a great time watching Sam do his thing. I have not seen the first one, but I can guarantee that I’ll be streaming it this weekend. If it’s half as funny as…
