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…

Movie Review – Hell Fest
—
Hell Fest was a total cliche. It was very predictable, yet it was enjoyable to watch. The idea of being in a very public place where murders are going on, but unnoticed, was a great idea. I embrace everything Halloween. This holiday is hands-down my favorite time of the year. I have been known to…

Movie Review – Little Women
—
Since it has been a full half century since I read *Little Women*, I can’t comment on how well the movie tracks with the book. But really, it doesn’t matter because the book and this movie have very little in common. The current *Little Women* is a chaotic mess. The thing that really stood out…

Movie Review – Night School
—
I rate this movie a B because the comedic chemistry between Kevin and Tiffany was great! I laughed through the whole movie. The plot was meaty between the different characters. Each student really had their own reason for going to night school and some type of personal struggle thereof. The scenes developed around those personal…

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…
