Movie Review – SmallFoot
—
It is such a relief to watch a movie I can give an A+ rating to without hesitation! It was charming, warm-hearted (albeit set in a cold place), engaging, funny, and surprisingly detailed. I especially loved the many interesting things to look at in the yeti village. I was never bored. I see a lot…

Movie Rewatch Review of X-Files – I Want To Believe
The X-Files now has nine television seasons, two movies, and two short-term TV revivals under their belt. This no-spoiler rewatch is for the second feature film, I Want To Believe, taking place years (both in-universe and out) after the final run of original TV episodes, and before both revivals were even a concept. (Is this…

Movie Review – Lizzie
—
Let me start with this simple statement: if you feel like going to see this movie, just don’t. Save your money; make some popcorn at home, and watch literally any documentary Netflix has on Lizzie Borden. You’ll get the exact same information we’ve been given since August 4, 1892, when the murders took place. Let’s…

Movie Review – Life Itself
—
Typically, I don’t read other critics’ reviews before writing my own. However, I felt compelled to do so after seeing a blurb that condemned *Life Itself* to the fiery pits of Hell. I do not agree. I have to say that disagreeing with the ‘professional’ critics makes me ever so eager to write my own…

Movie Review – Assassination Nation
—
This movie was painful for me to watch. I tried to like it; I really did. However, nothing in the movie could convince me otherwise. It sucked. I will admit I am a little bit over the age of the targeted audience; perhaps that is why the movie didn’t appeal to me. It felt super…

Movie Review – A Boy. A Girl. A Dream
—
I rate this movie a C, because the dialogue is really slow throughout, and takes some time to build the plot. I also thought the numerous dead spaces of no dialogue got a little boring, based upon the peoples’ faces in the theater audience. It also seemed as though the ending was a little abrupt,…

Movie Review – Unbroken: Path to Redemption
—
I truly do enjoy faith-based movies, but Unbroken left me a little flat. The acting was pretty good, and the directing was acceptable, however, since I didn’t read Laura Hillenbrand’s book Path To Redemption, I can’t comment on how closely the book was followed.[pullquote] It was interesting that Billy Graham’s grandson played his grand father (Billy…

Movie Review – A Simple Favor
—
What a fabulous movie!! What I just watched surpassed many movies in my list of favorites. It’s probably hit the top three. I enjoyed this movie better than a day off from work with no bills to pay. From the moment the movie started, I was hooked. The characters are so deep and odd that…

Movie Review – White Boy Rick
—
White Boy Rick was very well done. The acting and directing was superb. They were able to completely immerse the audience in that time and place. Mathew McConaughey was awesome. He rocked this role, just like he always does. I’m pretty sure he can do anything. I’ve never seen Richie Merritt in anything before, but…

Movie Review – Doctor Strange
Weird, weird, weird. Yes, in a film pointedly titled Strange, this is very bizarre stuff. I haven’t seen the character in comic book media, but I imagine it took until our current technology to make all this mental scat look so good, so pretty, on film. Folding cities, broken mirror landscapes, characters running up and…
