Movie Rewatch Review – Jurassic Park III
I finally made the effort to rewatch Jurassic Park III – something always came up to distract me, and I’m easily distracted if I don’t want to see the movie in question. But I’m glad I did it: the movie isn’t so bad once you’re aware of the retched parts. It’s like rewatching Star Wars:…

Movie Review – The First Purge
—
The First Purge was not what I was expecting. I’ll be honest and say that the last two really didn’t appeal to me. Luckily, they took a different approach on this one and it worked much better. I don’t want to give anything away by explaining how they tied the movies together, but I will say…

Movie Review – Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation – As Fun as a Real Vacation Kids and Adults Alike
Hotel Transylvania 3 is just as entertaining as both HT2 and HT1 were. The plot is cute: bringing the great-great granddaughter of Van Helsin and Dracula, together in a possible relationship. I saw this movie with my own 5 year-old great granddaughter and she loved it, as did the rest of the young audience. The level of humor…

Movie Review – Uncle Drew
—
Uncle Drew was surprisingly charming. I was ready for a slapstick basketball movie but was surprised with a movie that has substance. There are a lot of touching moments that make you smile with warmth, and also moments that made the crowd slap their sides — they were laughing that hard. It’s got a little…

Movie Review – Sicario 2: Soldado
—
I watched the first Sicario (for the first time) the night before the sequel came out, so I have a fresh perspective on comparing them. Simply put, the sequel isn’t quite as good as the original. While the first Sicario is a really good movie, it isn’t without its flaws. Nevertheless, I would give it at least…

Jurassic World: Missed Opportunities
—
These are my final thoughts after seeing Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom in the theater. There are spoilers aplenty, so please read after you view the movie. Don’t think for a second that I don’t realize that it’s difficult to write a script for a movie like this. Getting handed the responsibility of writing a script…

Movie Review — Superfly (2018)
—
Superfly is a very talky movie, interspersed with people shooting each other, and lots of blood blossoming on fancy white outfits. There’s not a single character to root for — everyone is corrupt, either selling drugs or profiteering off those selling the drugs. [pullquote]There are, however, some great outfits, good hair, a fine soundtrack, and…

Movie Rewatch: Jurassic Park – The Lost World
While enjoying a lovely pint of hand crafted mead at the San Diego Bronto Brew Meadery, I got to view a free social rewatch of the entire Jurassic oeuvre. With Jurassic World 2: Fallen Kingdom opening in the US this week, that’s five fun movies. Or, well, some fun movies and one that sucked (Hi, JP III).…

Movie Review – Gotti
—
This movie was a muddled mess. This biographic piece couldn’t quite pick up steam or really even figure out what it wanted to be. I was waiting for the big moment but there was none. It was just two hours of a lot of names thrown at you, never fully explaining anything. On a positive…

Movie Review – Tag
—
What a darn cute movie. I’m enchanted to learn Tag is based off a true story of some kids who decided never to grow up. The entire theater was PACKED at the first showing, and everyone in the theater not only knew a lot about the film going into it, but were very much into…
