Movie review: The Strangers: Prey at Night
—
The Strangers: Prey At Night…where to begin? Let’s start off on a positive note. I’m fairly convinced the makers of this movie fully intended on wanting you to hate the lead female role. Boy,oh boy, they nailed that one. Her character made my blood pressure rise. I was rooting for The Strangers to take care…

Movie review: Thoroughbreads
—
After the movie I knew that I was not the target audience. I didn’t care for Thoroughghbreds. I’m sure there was a point to the movie, or some message that I just didn’t get. It’s hard for me to critique the pacing and directing, since I didn’t understand what the writer and or the director…

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.…
