Movie Review – Uncut Gems
—
This is one of those movies that is impossible to grade. That’s because on the one hand, the acting — especially by Adam Sandler — was terrific. And honestly, even though Kevin Garnett played himself, he still did a fantastic job with the nuances. Hat’s off to him. I’d love to see him get a…

Movie Review – Bombshell
Bombshell was full of great acting. Every single actor/actress in this movie gave it their all. It was a star studded performance. I really enjoyed the direction the movie took. You are watching this basically through the eyes of three very strong women. Theron, Kidman and Robbie each nailed their characters. Their presence wasn’t only…

Movie Review – Cats
—
I must admit, I was a little hesitant about seeing this movie, because the trailer was not that enticing, given the over-dramatic look of the cats’ upgraded appearance. I am a huge Cats on broadway fan — so because I’m loyal, I figured I would give it a try. If you’ve never seen the broadway…

Movie Review – Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
Cards on the table. I went into this film pretty sure I was going to enjoy it. I remember going to see “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope” (or just “Star Wars” as it was back then!) as a student back in 1977. Here I am, retired, going to see the final episode…

Movie Review – Richard Jewell
Richard Jewell is an A-grade movie. It’s a tightly constructed biography of a man with a lifelong ambition of becoming a member of law enforcement and how all that goes wrong after doing something heroic.

Movie Review – Black Christmas

Movie Review – Jumanji: The Next Level
So here we go again! If you saw Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle you’ll know what to expect: action, thrills, and humour in abundance, but with enough tweaks to make things feel fresh. If you’ve seen the trailers and, to be honest, they’ve been difficult not to see then you’ll know the premise is the…

Movie Review – Queen & Slim
—
Oops, I did it again! Yes, another cop-ish movie. I told you before that this year is all about bad cops. Queen & Slim was entertaining. This movie is a spin off of the Bonnie and Clyde story, but with a little twist of soul, and a flame to the Black Lives Matter movement…

Movie Review – Dark Waters
—
It was an amazing expose that has reignited the media and informed the public about this company and its subsidiaries. I found this movie inspirational because it depicted the hard work of a lawyer who dedicated more than a decade of his life to see justice prevail. It was eye-opening for me because so often,…
