Movie Review – A Quiet Place Part II

May 28, 2021

A Quiet Place 2 is like a delicious sauce left to simmer until only the essentials remain; at under 90 minutes runtime, not counting the end credits, it walks the fine line between not one scene feeling rushed, nor one that drags on longer than necessary. It is a masterful work of storytelling. If there’s […]

Is the girl from A Quiet Place deaf in real life?

January 23, 2020

Is the girl from A Quiet Place deaf in real life? In a word, yes. The girl, aptly played by Millicent Simmonds, is deaf and speaks American Sign Language.

As we approach the Oscar season, I decided to rewatch the original Mary Poppins (MP). I’m certainly torn as to which one is better, considering that Mary Poppins Returns is not a remake; it’s a continuation of the Banks family drama. I love Julia Andrews and Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins. They both have a […]

A Quiet Place – Movie Analysis with SPOILERS

May 2, 2018

I thoroughly enjoyed A Quiet Place, even though I can’t do horror movies. But, you know what? A Quiet Place isn’t really straight-up horror — or more accurately, it’s a sub-unit of such: scary suspense.

Shhhhhhhh. No, really, don’t make a sound. Not even when we announce that A Quiet Place has a sequel scheduled already! (Confirmed by Paramount.) A Quiet Place offers an interesting concept for movie-going – people constantly report that their theaters were dead silent. Through the whole movie.

Movie Review – Edge of Tomorrow (Live. Die. Repeat.)

June 6, 2014

I love Groundhog Day stories and I’ve been looking forward to this movie since the first time I saw the previews. I was *hoping* it would rank as one of the classic Sci-Fi movies. However, I expected it would just be a good movie that might be worth rewatching again a year from now. I […]
