Movie Review – The Sisters Brothers
—
When I saw this movie yesterday, I really disliked it. I thought I’d sleep on it and see where my mind was later. I still dislike it. Yes, it had an amazing cast. How can a movie with an ensemble like this not prove to be outstanding? I’m going to blame this on the writing.…

Movie Review – Halloween
What a movie! My long awaited excitement was finally satisfied! This was an event of epic proportions. Picture it: I walk into the theater, and it is sold out. The crowd was rowdy and ready for Michael. People were chanting, “Michael, Michael!” It was awesome. The lights went down and the theater became deathly quiet.…

Movie Review – Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer
—
I have to grade this movie the same way I grade animated films; by determining the target audience, and grading accordingly. Rotten Tomatoes audience score is at 98% as of this writing. So does this tell me most of the audience is made up of those who feel strongly about this issue, be it pro-choice…

Movie Review – The Old Man & the Gun
Since The Old Man & The Gun is reported as being Robert Redford’s swan song; it seems only fitting that he reprises his most beloved character. As I sat in the theater, completely captivated by this movie, all I saw was the Sundance Kid, nonchalantly robbing one bank after another. So come on, Oscar committee,…

Movie Review – First Man
First Man is a thoughtfully crafted, well-made film that a lot of reviewers seemed to love. Ryan Gosling definitely dove into the part. The nostalgia of returning to the 1960s was neat, and the scenes in actual space were close to brilliant at times. It felt like being there, as the Saturn V thundered…

Movie Review – Bad Times at the El Royale
—
Is Bad Times at the El Royal an Oscar-worthy movie? Probably not. However, there were two performances that do stand out and is, in my opinion, worthy of at least an Oscar nod. Cynthia Erivo, as Darlene Sweet, and Lewis Pullman as Miles Miller, stole the show. Considering that Jeff Bridges always gives an…

Movie Review – Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween
—
Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween was a cute movie that brought many laughs from the theater. I think as far as Halloween movies out there for families, this is a great choice. We took our five year old granddaughter and she loved it. There were two moments she jumped due to a shock scare, but…

Movie Review – The Hate U Give
—
I expected this movie adaptation of Angela Thomas’ book of the same name to be exactly what it was—-racially tensed and enlightening. While many people are aware of a few victims involved in police altercations that led to their deaths by police officers such as Trayvon Martin, Botham Shem Jean, Sandra Bland, Freddie Gray,…

Movie Review – Venom
—
Let me start off by saying this isn’t my genre. I usually don’t do the Peetimes for these types of movies, since I’m not the target audience. However, I asked my brother to let me do it because I’m a huge Tom Hardy fan. My husband is the target audience and he loved it. He thought…

Movie Review – A Star Is Born
—
Last week I bitterly complained about the lack of chemistry between the cast of Little Women. It was pretty much a dog of a movie. This week, A Star Is Born had so much chemistry I expected a huge on screen explosion — and that’s what I got. Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga together created an…
