Movie Review – Silent Night
—
It is an interesting premise: make an action movie without dialog for the main characters. It puts a huge onus on the actors to communicate emotionally without using any dialogue. On that mark, they were pretty successful. However, I feel that they sacrificed the quality of the movie on a stunt, and it would be…

Movie Review – Godzilla Minus One
—
Godzilla Minus One is a perfect blend of mature storytelling with the 50s/60s movie style. Something many disaster/action movies get wrong is trying to incorporate too many characters and their experiences into the action. This movie puts the focus on a small group of people, and specifically one man. The story is beautifully constructed. The characters…

Movie Review – Wish
—
Wish was a delightful, enchanting and heart warming story good for all ages. I loved the song choices, they kept the pace up of the movie and added another level of entertainment. This will be a fun afternoon to spend with the family over the holiday weekend. Grade: A About The Peetimes: There are 2 great…

Movie Review – Saltburn
It’s been hours since I saw Saltburn and I’m still not sure what I saw. I have a thousand opinions of this movie, but I can’t pick which one to go with; movies like this are really hard to critique in my opinion. Half of me loved it, half of me hated it. There were…

Movie Review – Napoleon
—
Boring. I never fall asleep during movies, but I almost nodded off twice during this one. It was a slog to get through. Gladiator is one of my all-time favorite movies and I really hoped this movie would tap into some of that, but wow. Not even close. Acting Joaquin Phoenix is a generational talent, and at first…

Movie Review – Thanksgiving
—
I was expecting a lot more from Thanksgiving. I love Eli Roth movies but this one fell flat. I was constantly thinking, “When are we going to see his form?” It never happened. In my opinion, Thanksgiving felt a lot like “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” just not as good, and that’s kinda…

Movie Review – Dream Scenario
—
Don’t be fooled by the early trailer for this movie! I was under the impression that it would be more “tame” and “light-hearted” than it is. Make no mistake, while the film has its laughs, it is indeed a dark comedy. As the title suggests, this is truly an “escapist” movie such that it transports…

Movie Review – Next Goal Wins
—
It’s the worst sports movie I’ve ever seen. The movie didn’t take the subject matter seriously. Taika Waititi admitted in the movie trailer that he know nothing about football. I’m guessing he doesn’t know anything about sports in general. The movie kind of feels like what you’d get from a sports movie if it’s written and…

Movie Review – Trolls Band Together
—
For such tiny Trolls, these little cuties have a huge hit on their hands. I was not really looking forward to doing the Peetimes on Trolls Band Together. Dreading it is a little closer to how I felt honestly. I’m happy to report that I was wrong. From the very beginning to the end of…

Movie Review – The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
—
There were a few things to like, but a whole bunch of “what the #$%@ are they doing” in this movie. The Good The acting was generally good. Headlining the effort is Tom Blyth as Coriolanus Snow. I thought he had a solid performance as the young Snow. I was especially impressed with Viola Davis…
