Movie Review – The Kid Who Would Be King is Charming and Sweet

  This character driven movie was about a half hour too long, and that’s the only negative thing I have to say about The Boy Who Would Be King. I enjoyed this movie a lot. It has all the ingredients needed to keep the audience of children entertained: out of control roots, things on fire, […]

Movie Review – Storm Boy

I went to this re-make of a classic Australian movie (based on the book by Colin Thiele) with my fourteen-year-old daughter and my ten-year-old son. It is a lovely story where a grown Michael reminisces with his granddaughter, Maddie, about his time growing up near the beach, and particularly the special times he had with […]

Movie Review – A Dog’s Way Home – A Harrowing Experience for Dog Lovers

  A solid B film where I ugly-cried six times, including within the opening three minutes. That’s got to be some kind of record. I wrote down how many times I cried as I jotted down notes for Peetimes (and my male companion cried three times, so it’s not just a girl thing). In any […]

Movie Review – Mary Poppins Returns

Can I start by saying bravo?! I’m a huge fan of Mary Poppins (MP), and Mary Poppins Returns (MPR) did not disappoint. While we all knew that filling Julie Andrews’ shoes as MP would be nearly impossible, Emily Blunt nailed the role.  I enjoyed this movie so much because of the animation, storyline, cast, and […]

Movie Review – Once Upon A Deadpool

  The Deadpool Before Christmas was hard to grade. I had to wonder if it’s better than the original Deadpool 2, if it added anything impressive to the canon, and if it’s worth spending your cash on what amounts to a re-tread of the same movie you saw last summer. For real Deadpool fans, this […]

Movie Review – Ralph Breaks the Internet

  I didn’t see the first Ralph movie, but it turns out that doesn’t matter. Everything interesting is explained, and the fun begins immediately. I’ll say, right off the bat, that this movie is worth seeing on the big screen, although I look forward to having this on DVD so I can start and stop […]

Movie Review – Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

  I don’t know what happened with this movie. It looked great from the trailers, and seemed like the story would make sense. The film itself, though, was a big beautiful mess. I’m not even sure what I saw. I’m essentially a Harry Potter expert. I’ve read the books dozens of times, seen the movies […]

Movie Review – The Grinch (2018)

  It’s time to cease re-doing The Grinch. Full stop. I can’t believe I was sucked into thinking this movie would add anything to the tale that wasn’t done perfectly already in the 1966 Xmas Special. What can I say, except to watch that perfect, iconic 26-minute version again, and to skip this bit of […]

Movie Review – The Nutcracker and the Four Realms

I’m giving Nutcracker and the Four Realms an A. It was simply stunning; an absolutely gorgeous film the entire family will love. The only reason it’s not an A+ is because the Sugar Plum Fairy was really awkward to watch. She’s played by the normally fantastic Keira Knightly, who is completely unrecognizable here. I have […]

Movie Review – Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween

  Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween was a cute movie that brought many laughs from the theater. I think as far as Halloween movies out there for families, this is a great choice. We took our five year old granddaughter and she loved it. There were two moments she jumped due to a shock scare, but […]
