Movie Review – The Boss Baby – Adults Love This More Than Infants
Boss Baby is hilarious. It is packed with adult humor that will keep the parents laughing, and the children will enjoy the younger humor used too. I do feel that it’s more geared towards adults than children. They’ll still enjoy it, though. I took my four year-old granddaughter to see it. She has more energy…

Movie Review – Life
—
I don’t even know how to rate this one. For the record, I absolutely hated it. I’m even the target audience, according to the trailers, as I LOVE science fiction and space movies. However, you should all know this is a straight body horror film, with gristly, gruesome, and horrific scenes occurring frequently once the…

Movie Review – Before I Fall
—
Before I saw this movie, I had geared myself up for a saccharine chick flick. However, instead I saw a well written, well directed, and well acted movie. I wholeheartedly recommend this movie for all age groups. Grade: A About The Peetimes: Before I Fall is a nicely paced movie, allowing for two good Peetimes…

Movie Review – Power Rangers
—
I’m giving Power Rangers an ‘A’ for one reason only: the audience. At my theater, the audience was very involved with the movie. They clapped, cheered, booed, and laughed themselves silly. This was the first showing for the movie at my theater, and I was stunned at the long line waiting to get seated. The…

Movie Review – Get Out – Jordan Peele Hits A Home Run
—
Jordan Peele hit a home run with his first attempt at writing and directing. Get Out was a refreshing look at the horror genre, and I can’t wait to see more of his creative juices. The movie was both frightening and funny, often at the same time. The acting was good, the pacing was perfect,…

Movie Review – The LEGO Batman Movie – One of the BEST Batman films, ever
I liked this better than the original Lego Movie – this one is skewed a little more sophisticated for the grownups – but still has lots of color and spectacle for the kiddos. It’s a very charming film, with a surprisingly good storyline. Things move quickly, and there is a lot to see, making you…

Movie Review – Split
M. Night Shyamalan is back, and has brought with him what is likely the best movie he’ll ever make. The down side is that it was released so early in the year, and the Oscar committee has a ridiculously short memory. For certain, James McAvoy deserves an Oscar nod for his role, as Kevin Crumb,…

Movie Review – La La Land
—
As always, I address my reviews to the target audience. If you enjoy musicals, La La Land will be your favorite movie of the year. Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone were so absolutely adorable, and their on screen chemistry just about set the film on fire. If you’re not a fan of musicals there’s no…

Movie Review – Moana
—
This is a beautifully crafted animated work from Disney – the care and attention really shows. Everything in the scenery is stunning, and will make you long to live in the sun on these beautiful tropical islands. The story itself is a bit simplistic and drags in parts. It does take about an hour before…

Movie Review – Sully
—
Being a retired flight attendant who was based in New York, and having flown out of LaGuardia airport frequently, gave me a unique perspective on this movie. I can’t say that I was looking forward to seeing ‘Sully’. I was flying out of New York during 9/11 and lost many peers and one good…
