Movie Review – Black Christmas
—
I was so excited to find out I was going to get to see Black Christmas on Friday the 13th! It’s always been a lucky day for me, until today. Today …that trend ended. I was so disappointed with Black Christmas. Let me first state that I have not seen the original. I didn’t…

7 Hidden Clues/Humor You Might Have Missed in Knives Out.[Spoilers!]
So far, the RunPee Family watched Knives Out 7 times combined to do the Peetimes. Yes, it’s that hard! The movie is filled with clue Easter eggs. Like one of the characters says, “This guy pretty much lives in a clue board.” Watching it the second time the next day, I noticed so many things…

What did the Baseball represent in the movie Knives Out?
—
in ActionI’ve seen Knives Out twice. During the first viewing I recognized the political subplot contrasting the virtuous Dreamer — daughter of an illegal immigrant — with the entitled, self serving children of a rich father. During the second viewing I watched closely, looking for symbolism that supported the subplot, of which there is a great deal, but…

Movie Review – Ad Astra
This is a very intense and thought provoking movie. I can’t write the review today, but I’ll give it a B grade for now. I saw in in IMAX, which I recommend for the best “space” experience, and for the constant extreme closeups on Brad Pitt’s face. Suffice to say for now the film…

Movie Review – Ready or Not
—
Ready Or Not, here I come with my review. This was an awesome movie. I had so much fun watching it, just like playing hide and seek when I was a kid…kind of…we didn’t have all the cool weapons and no one ever died. I loved the originality. I’m trying to think of another movie…

Movie Review – Where’d You Go, Bernadette
—
This is a crazy hard movie to give a rating to. I enjoyed it, but didn’t love it. I was engaged with the story from beginning to end, but wasn’t moved by the resolution. The characters were well defined and the actors did a great job — every one of them. Obviously, Cate Blanchett is…

Movie Review – Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
—
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark thoroughly entertained my 6 year old granddaughter. I found myself slightly bored. For starters, I was expecting a more mature horror movie based on the previews I saw. I didn’t realize that it was from a series of books written in the 1980’s. I wish I would have…

Movie Review – Midsommar
—
Midsommer is a mind blower. It starts slow but it picks up steam — and not just a little steam, but a lot. It is probably one of the most explicit movies I’ve ever watched. I went in expecting not to like it, because it seems I’ve hated every A24 production I’ve ever seen. They…
