Movie review: The Hurricane Heist
I didn’t see any of the Fast and the Furious movies, so I can’t speak to how this compares to them. What I can say is that this is a poorly written movie from pretty much every angle I can think of. The first thing I noticed was just how heavy-handed the character development was. It…

Movie Review – A Wrinkle in Time
I’m trying to figure out how to make A Wrinkle in Time make any sense. I love fantasy and science fiction, and am very forgiving of stories in these genres. From the trailer, I figured this would be a really pretty excursion into time travel, with kids discovering their powers in a whimsical land. The…

Movie review: Gringo
—
The ending of this movie reminds me a little bit of Guy Ritchie’s *Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels*, only it isn’t nearly as good. I would give this movie a C for about the first 3/4, and B- for the last 1/4 — where there’s actual humor and action. The humor in this movie…

Movie review: Death Wish
—
I really liked this movie. Earlier, I was so bummed when I was told this was my movie for the week. I begrudgingly said yes, and stewed about it for days. The movie started and I was literally glued to the screen. I’m not into action at all, but this movie had enough substance that…

Movie review: Red Sparrow
—
If you’re a big fan of Jennifer Lawrence — and who isn’t — there’s a lot to like in this movie. She’s the focal point of nearly every scene, superb in all of them. Jennifer’s character (Dominika) has the very subtle expressions only a great actress could pull off. Even when she’s tortured, Dominika suppresses…

Movie Review – The 15:17 to Paris
—
It’s not unusual for me to disagree with professional critics, but I was almost apoplectic to read the scathing reviews given to The 15:17 To Paris. The chief complaint seems to be the hour we sit through just to get to the action. So here’s my take on that; I liked being shown the lives…

Movie Review – Peter Rabbit
—
This was a sweet little movie. We took our five year old granddaughter and she loved it. The theater was full and it seemed that all the kids were having a great time. I even saw lots of parents laughing too. This movie even looked pretty; I absolutely loved how they made the rabbits look.…

Movie Review – Black Panther – One Incredible Party
Opening night at Black Panther was an all-out celebration. All six showings at my cinema were sold out, and showings continued to sell out through the weekend. But the audience was ecstatic at my premier, completely into the event, dressed in traditional African attire, laughing, cheering, applauding, hooting, and having a killer time. It makes me…

Movie Review – Forever My Girl
—
Forever My Girl was your average sappy sweet film. It had some serious — albeit predictable — ups and downs, but it kept you entertained. No, it’s not ‘The Notebook’ worthy, but I’m not angry I watched it. All the actors did a great job together and kept the flow going. The little girl, Billy,…
