Movie Review – Uncharted
—
Cute, cute, cute. Stir together several heapings of The Goonies, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Raiders of the Lost Ark, fold in Tom Holland’s Spidey-like chattiness, and Uncharted is a tasty treat hitting the theaters right now. Indiana Jones is personally name-dropped, because, how could it NOT be, when the leads are crawling around ancient…

Movie Review – Dog
The movie Dog explores how war veterans, including dogs, struggle to cope with life after serving. Dog isn’t the feel-good comedy that the trailers make it out to be; at the same time, it’s not dark and depressing throughout. I would hazard to call Dog a gritty-real movie, but take that with a grain of salt because I’ve not served in…

Movie Review – Death on the Nile
—
Really disappointing, especially as I liked Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express (2017) so very much. As in Orient, Death on the Nile is fabulously scenic and lush, with a great cast that seems to be trying to make a better movie out of this. Maybe at two hours and seven minutes, the movie is just too long…

Movie Review – Marry Me
—
What a fun, heartfelt movie. I’ve always enjoyed J Lo’s movies and this one doesn’t disappoint. The music was great and the acting was terrific. Owen Wilson played his role perfectly and the chemistry between the two was spot on. I loved the supporting cast, they gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. Sarah Silverman added…

Movie Review – Blacklight
—
Yuck. I didn’t like this movie at all. Let me start by saying it absolutely was not Liam Neeson’s fault. He performed just like always. He’s Liam. Always fun to watch because of his skillset, but even with his skills the movie was tedious, boring, and choppy. By choppy I mean the movie starts and…

Movie Review – Jackass Forever
—
Dear Lord, I didn’t know I could laugh so hard. From the opening scene to the end credits I laughed, then laughed more. They pulled all the stops in Jackass Forever. I’m giving this an A for sure. They had one goal in mind and that was to make us go ouch and laugh and…

Movie Review – Scream (2022)
Twenty-five years ago we were presented with a totally new and fresh idea for a horror movie. It was an amazing hit at the box office and quickly became one of my favorite horror franchises. Over the last twenty-five years, we were given many more sequels, some great and a few we won’t talk about.…

Movie Review – The 355
—
I was extraordinarily disappointed in The 355. The trailers showed great potential but the actual film fell flat as a pancake in my opinion. I could pick this movie apart with a fine-toothed comb but we’d be here all day. So I’ll pick my top two complaints and leave the rest up to you. First,…

Movie Review – Licorice Pizza
—
I went and saw Licorice Pizza and was kind of excited to see what the world looked like in 1973, the year I was born. I walked out realizing that I’m really happy that we are born without the ability to talk, to walk or to rationalize things. I’m so happy that the 70’s were…

Movie Review – Nightmare Alley
—
Nightmare Alley was probably one of the most surprising movies I’ve seen this year. Based on the trailers I had been seeing it looked decent enough — and let’s face it, anything with Bradley Cooper is worth seeing. I want to break the review down into three sections. Let’s start with the first 40ish minutes.…
