Movie Review – Crazy Rich Asians
—
Crazy Rich Asians is a beautifully done trip to Singapore with a gaggle of interesting people. Each main character gave us a guided tour into their lives, and how it shaped their future. Even though we didn’t see or hear much of the back story of Piek Lin Goh (played by Awkwafina), she did have…

Movie Review – Book Club
I thought this would be an inspiring movie about taking life by the balls (or in this case, the ovaries) in your golden years. The high-caliber cast of aging actresses is stellar; they did a fine job. I am about 15-20 years younger than them, but feel like they have options I will never have.…

Movie Review – Overboard (2018)
I’m not sure why anyone felt a need to remake Overboard. The 1987 original has a sparkling and famous cast, led by Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel. It was sweet, it was funny, and despite the kind of casual sexism often shown in that era of movies, was a small cult classic. I loved it.…

Movie Review – Love, Simon
—
What a great little film. This was like a John Hughes classic from the 1970s, updated for our era of cell phones and Facebook, featuring a coming out plot that’s worthy of the premise. The actors, the soundtrack, the goofy high school hijinks and wonderfully iconic scenes…it added up to a fantastic nostalgia trip that…

Movie Review – Date Night
—
Sigh. For the two funniest people on television, I was expecting very funny, not mildly amusing. The outtakes showed how enjoyable this film coulda, shoulda have been. I don’t blame the actors. I think the director told them to dial it back and play it straight – which was a mistake, as the plot doesn’t…

Movie review : The Bounty Hunter
—
The Bounty Hunter Buy the soundtrack for The Bounty Hunter Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon With its convoluted plot, you’d think Bounty Hunter might be a waste of time. Who is after who? Which set of bad guys are we looking at? Why isn’t Milo a cop anymore? It doesn’t really matter. The game…

Movie review : Valentine’s Day
—
Valentine’s Day Buy the soundtrack for Valentine’s Day Purchase at iTunes Amazon [ No spoilers ] First off the cast is great and huge. In the first 30 minutes of the movie there were at least 15 different scene cuts and it didn’t seem like we visited the same actor/actress twice. This movie is packed…

Movie review : When in Rome
—
When in Rome Buy the soundtrack for When in Rome Purchase at iTunes Purchase at Amazon I like Kristen Bell; she is a doll. When in Rome is charming fluff to pleasantly fill an hour and make you want to believe in magic. Maybe. Ignore the plot holes and try to just have fun. The…

Movie review : Leap Year
—
Leap Year Buy the soundtrack for Leap Year Purchase at Amazon.com With its stunning on-location southwest Irish landscapes, Leap Year is a sweet treat for the eyes. The leads are easy on the oculars also. We don’t get anything new here – our characters share in their disdain for each other, bickering their way from…
