Movie Review – Back to Black
—
Back to Black left me speechless. Marisa Abela nailed that role. I kept forgetting that I wasn’t actually watching Amy Winehouse. She perfected Amy’s mannerisms and voice. It was an absolute delight watching her take control. I’ve been a fan of Amy Winehouse from the very beginning, she had the most beautiful way of singing.…

Movie Review – IF
—
If greatly disappointed me. Ryan Reynolds is one of the top actors in the world, everything he touches turns to gold. That’s why I was so excited to see IF. I don’t know what happened but it was so dull and lifeless that the children I took weren’t even watching the movie. I noticed as…

Movie Review – Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
—
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was a great start to what I’m hoping will be at least a trilogy. I’m absolutely enamored with these movies. I miss Caesar but they’ve done a great job of bringing the new ape characters to life. You develop feelings for them very quickly. There is a great deal of humor…

Movie Review – Tarot
—
Tarot, the name of this movie, can be credited as the best thing about it. While the movie had a healthy pace and an interesting storyline, the acting was forced at best, and it was exceptionally predictable. I’m all over these types of movies, and I couldn’t leave fast enough. If you are looking for…

Movie Review – Unsung Hero
I’ve been scratching my head all day to figure out how to review this movie. After talking it over with the group that went with me, I’ve settled on a B minus. The acting was wonderful and it had a great message. Those are two very important things that I watch for, this movie delivered…

Movie Review – Boy Kills World
—
I’m trying to think of what could have been better in this movie, but nothing jumps out at me. First, there is an element of campiness to the story that excuses it from the necessity of complete realism. Like, it takes place in our reality, but not quite. There’s no magic or superhero stuff going…

Movie Review – Challengers
This is a hard movie for me to grade. I didn’t particularly enjoy it because of the subject matter—drama/romance. Also the story is told in a non-linear fashion, which makes finding Peetimes particularly challenging and makes it harder for me to enjoy watching the movie while working. However, I recognize that it was expertly crafted…

Movie Review – The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
—
Going into the theater, I expected a movie that leaned into over-the-top action at the expense of plot and character development. I got the opposite. For the most part, the action was kept to a minimum, except for watching Anders go berserker mode. His action scenes were done as much for humor as action. True…

Movie Review – Abigail
—
Abigail is a thrilling experience. It blends elements of humor, blood, and guts in all the right ways. The film excels in balancing the darker aspects of its story with moments of humor, providing much-needed relief from the intense action sequences and dramatic developments. The characters’ witty dialogue and comedic timing add layers of depth…

Movie Review – The First Omen
—
In all honesty, this move bored me to death. I took my granddaughter with me and she was even bored. She was hopeful for some great scary moments but it never happened. It dragged terribly and I could barely understand a word they said. They mumbled terribly and they overdid the accents. In the last…
