Movie Review – Hustlers
—
I’m giving this movie an A for sure. I loved it. Watching these women do their thing was so much fun that I forgot I was working. All of the sudden a little thought popped into my head like, “Hey, aren’t you supposed to be watching for Peetimes?” So yeah, what they were doing was…

Movie Review – The Kitchen
—
Andrea Berloff did a fantastic job writing and directing the Kitchen. There are no wasted scenes in this tightly edited film. Everything follows from one step to the next. The characters are very well defined, and evolve during the movie for obvious reasons. The three actors — Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss —…

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…

Movie Review – John Wick Chapter 3 – Parabellum (Not as good as the first two)
I loved the first two John Wick movies, especially the first, which really brought new life to the action genre. But I found myself getting bored by the monotonous action in John Wick Parabellum. I think the movie might have been better if it had been a little shorter. Many of the fight seems felt…

Movie Review – Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase
Who would have thought that Nancy Drew would still be rocking it after 89 years? This new and improved version of Nancy Drew is perfect for the target audience of today’s prepubescent girl. The movie addresses bullying, body image hating, peer pressure, and the need to fit in as the new kid in school. So…

Movie Review – Replicas
There are two movies coming out this week about dogs. One is A Dog’s Way Home. The other is Replicas, which has no dogs in it, but it is a dog. Question: why does the saying, “This movie is a dog,” imply that a movie is bad, yet we also know this one: “A dog is…

Movie Review – If Beale Street Could Talk
—
If you question what it means to be in love and not just love someone, If Beale Street Could Talk will truly give you clarity. This movie defines love while defying the odds. I was very enthralled in the plot of this movie, because every scene with Fonny and Tish seem to be intense…

Movie Review – Holmes & Watson
Holmes and Watson was really disappointing. Being a huge fan of the Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly comedy duo, I was expecting more. A lot more. I know these guys are amazing together; I personally think this film was simply poorly written. The characters lacked a depth that made you care about them,…

Movie Review – The Mule
—
Clint, how do you do it? Year after year, for how many years now? 50? 60? Do you ever get tired? Is it ever hard to drag yourself out of bed and face the cameras? I ask these questions because after seeing The Mule, I have to accept the fact that you are not…

Movie Review – Widows
—
Widows is a tightly wound drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat with perfect pacing, incredible acting and spot-on directing. I want to give kudos to Joe Walker for the amazing way this movie was edited. In the opening scene, he takes us from a sexy bedroom scene to a chaotic…
