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…

Movie Review – Incredibles 2
Pixar is known for their genius in telling stories that appeal to adults as much as kids. Incredibles 2 is no exception. As with every sequel, the question is: was it as good as the first? I’d say, “Close, but not quite.” Which is a compliment considering how good the original was. I don’t think it…

Movie Rewatch – The First Incredibles
This movie is really good! I hate using such an imprecise term, but I’m sitting here shocked at how good this animated superhero film is. I’d seen Incredibles when it came out in 2004, and certainly liked it, but now, in 2018, I have a different mindset. Back then I had no idea how…well, GOOD…
