Movie Review – Spider-Man: Far from Home – Fun, but a little underwhelming
I liked Spider-Man: Far From Home. I liked it a lot. But I didn’t love it, and that surprised me. I adore Tom Holland‘s version of Spider-Man, and think he’s the best Peter Parker ever done, no question. (Notice how this sidesteps Miles Morales‘ stunning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse quite nicely.) And every appearance…

Movie Review – Midsommar
—
Midsommer is a mind blower. It starts slow but it picks up steam — and not just a little steam, but a lot. It is probably one of the most explicit movies I’ve ever watched. I went in expecting not to like it, because it seems I’ve hated every A24 production I’ve ever seen. They…

Movie Review – Yesterday
—
The only reason I didn’t give Yesterday an A+ is that, at least for now, I don’t think it’s as good as Love Actually — both written by Richard Curtis — and both are very similar. Yesterday checks all the boxes for a great film: it’s terribly well acted; the pacing rolls along with the…

Movie Review – Late Night
—
So, we have Emma Thompson, Mindy Kaling, and John Lithgow. It’s a recipe for a great movie. The writing was done perfectly by Mindy Kaling, never missing a beat when it comes to the one liners and caustic comebacks. I have to say that this amazing talent has a great future in Hollywood, and basically…

Movie Review – Annabelle Comes Home
I enjoyed Annabelle enough to garner a solid B+. I was hoping for a perfect A, but wasn’t blown away. It’s a good movie. There were several times I had chill bumps over my entire body and the audience seemed to share my feelings. I heard a bunch of screams and I was lucky enough…

Movie Review – Anna
—
It appears that Luc Besson has fallen into the trap that has been the downfall of many a director; if it worked before, they’ll do it again, and oftentimes the end result is a disaster. Anna is not a disaster of a movie: the pacing was well done; but the writing, acting, and directing was…

Movie Review – Child’s Play
Child’s Play was creepily funny. There was an even mix of horror and humor which kept the pacing at full force. I’m halfway in love with the movie. I liked how they stayed away from the original’s back story. Here it’s no psychotic killer transferred into the doll through voodoo magic. Instead, they use today’s…

Movie Review – Toy Story 4
Vera and I saw the movie together and collaborated on the Peetimes. We agreed that Toy Story 4 deserves an A. It has everything you could want: fun action for the kids, plenty of humor, especially with the two new toys Bunny and Ducky — voiced by Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key respectively — and…

Movie Review – The Dead Don’t Die
Dead Don’t Die as super low budget movie is somewhat cute, but nothing really good. Don’t see it in the theaters: its a good one to wait for streaming. Save your theater money now for the better movies. There was one cool idea — zombies are attracted to what interested them most while alive.…
