Movie Review – Book Club: The Next Chapter
—
There’s no denying that this movie set out to do what it intended. It’s fun galavanting around with these four long-time friends in exotic Italy. There are numerous laugh-out-loud moments in the movie and every actress gets her fair shot at the spotlight. Kudos to the writers: Bill HoldermanErin Simms. I’m moderately impressed with the…

Movie Review – Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.
—
Picture it, 1970. Mrs. Judy Blume publishes one of the most iconic pre-teen books ever written. Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret. She was able to create a story that would touch the heart of every young girl that read it. I remember I was in fifth grade and picked that book during library time. As…

Movie Review – Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World
—
This feels a little more like something that should have been streaming than making it to theaters. It’s not bad. The production quality is adequate. The acting was fine. It maybe could have been a tad shorter, but it didn’t feel too overly long. It’s just an average movie. Not good, not bad. Just something…

Movie Review – Beau Is Afraid
—
I’m not sure what to make of this movie. But I have a review to write, so I’ll do my best. First of all, you don’t need to see this three-hour movie in a theater. It will be just as enjoyable streaming at home in a month or so. The best thing I can say…

Movie Review – Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant
I’m finding a hard time thinking of anything positive to say about this movie, with the exception of the acting. That’s where this movie shines. I’m sure Jake Gyllenhaal will get heaps of praise, as he deserves, for his performance as Sergeant John Kinley. But, I think Dar Salim—as Ahmed, the interpreter—had the harder role…

Movie Review – Evil Dead Rise
—
Evil Dead Rise was super creepy. I mean the kind of creepy that makes your skin crawl and you want to look away but the sound gets you just as bad. First and foremost, the effects and makeup were awesome. The artist that created the face of evil is talented beyond talented. Every scene in…

Movie Review – The Pope’s Exorcist
—
The Pope’s Exorcist surprised the hell out of me, which in fact is exactly where Father Amorth (Russell Crowe) was trying to avoid going. The question of the day is did he conquer the demon or did he choke under pressure and lose his soul to the Devil? After fourteen years of watching practically all…

Movie Review – Mafia Mamma
—
I had so much fun watching Mafia Mamma. This movie was outrageously funny. Toni Collette gave her best performance ever. You see the real her. The laughs and smiles she gives are deep down and pure. I wanted to be her! She discovered herself in such a fashion that I asked my Mom if we maybe…

Movie Review – Renfield
—
Surprise surprise. A comedy that was funny. It doesn’t feel like that happens very often these days. At least not as often as I would like. There were many LOLs in this movie and I absolutely cackled once. (When we see the x-ray view of Renfield’s roundhouse kick.) And of course, every moment of Nick…

Movie Review – Paint
—
I did not want to see this movie. I guess it could have been worse, at least I wasn’t dreading it. From the trailer, it looked like a mildly amusing, comedy. Plus it’s a short 90-minute movie, so at least I wouldn’t have to sit through a long snoozer. Once the movie started it didn’t…
