Movie Review – Tangled
I’m only 3/4 of the way through my first viewing of Tangled (yes, my 1st time) and I love it already so much I’m willing to give it an A+. Of course, they could screw it up during the climax and I’ll have to change my review, but so far I’m completely delighted. Tangled:…

Movie Review – The Sun Is Also a Star
—
I enjoyed The Sun is a Also A Star more than I thought I would, since romance flicks are not in my current job description. The acting was pretty good, and I will say our two star-crossed lovers had great chemistry. The target audience — teenage girls — will not be disappointed. Charles Melton has…

Movie Review – Long Shot
—
The only reason to see this movie is for the humor — and for that, there is there is plenty. However, this isn’t R-rated by accident. There’s some raunchy humor, and sometimes just plain raunch. If that’s not your style, then steer clear. If you’re a political conservative, then be ready for some jabs at…

Movie Review – After – Happy and Bittersweet Young Adult Romance
—
I didn’t realize that this movie was based on fan fiction until after I saw it. That said, I don’t know how it stacks up against the book. I do intend on reading it now, because the story caught my attention. It’s your typical young romance movie. There are happy moments and bittersweet moments. I…

Movie Review – Little – Nothing “Big” but a pleasant enough film
—
Little was an extremely funny movie. There were a ton of laugh out loud moments that had the whole theater cackling. It was very predictable, but still enjoyable to watch. The humor overshadowed the predictability. The movie doesn’t really have any standout moments, but I’d definitely recommend it if you’re just wanting some laughs. Grade:…

Movie Review – Five Feet Apart – Sweet, but just too depressing
—
Yeah, yeah, it’s sweet and touching, but why would anyone subject themselves to a movie like this if they had a choice? I don’t like dramas, because I don’t like watching people suffer and die. Not my kind of film, and I’m annoyed at the entire enterprise. Can I recommend it? No. I just don’t…

Movie Review – Alita: Battle Angel – Lighter, more Enjoyable than Ghost in the Shell
Alita: Battle Angel is a sort of YA version of Ghost in the Shell, and I’m not exactly thrilled to see the same thing re-done in so short a period of time. At least this one was more enjoyable, with better humor, more likable characters, and a universe that might be more interesting to…

Movie Review – Isn’t It Romantic – Fluffy, Good Fun
—
Can Rebel Wilson carry off the lead in a ‘Rom-Com’? Oh you bet she can, and Isn’t It Romantic is a great launching pad for her new status as a leading lady. This movie was exactly as advertised: 88 minutes of pure fluff, but I say that fondly. I’m a little like Rebel’s character,…

Movie Review – If Beale Street Could Talk
—
If you question what it means to be in love and not just love someone, If Beale Street Could Talk will truly give you clarity. This movie defines love while defying the odds. I was very enthralled in the plot of this movie, because every scene with Fonny and Tish seem to be intense…

Movie Review – Second Act
—
This is a fish-out-of-water story, which is normally a reliable premise for laughs. Unfortunately, it feels like a half-hearted attempt to re-make a modern take on such classics like Working Girl and Pretty Woman. Or the more recent, and very wonderful The Devil Wears Prada. A re-envisioning of an old theme would be fine…
