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 – 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 – Annabelle Comes Home
I enjoyed Annabelle enough to garner a solid B+. I was hoping for a perfect A, but wasn’t blown away. It’s a good movie. There were several times I had chill bumps over my entire body and the audience seemed to share my feelings. I heard a bunch of screams and I was lucky enough…

Movie Review – Anna
—
It appears that Luc Besson has fallen into the trap that has been the downfall of many a director; if it worked before, they’ll do it again, and oftentimes the end result is a disaster. Anna is not a disaster of a movie: the pacing was well done; but the writing, acting, and directing was…

Movie Review – John Wick Chapter 3 – Parabellum (Not as good as the first two)
I loved the first two John Wick movies, especially the first, which really brought new life to the action genre. But I found myself getting bored by the monotonous action in John Wick Parabellum. I think the movie might have been better if it had been a little shorter. Many of the fight seems felt…

Movie Review – The Curse of La Llorona – A Good Scary Time in the Conjuring Universe
This premier was a happy moment and a sad moment for me. I’ve been anticipating this film for quite some time. The Conjuring Universe is my all-time favorite series of movies. Ever. As a little girl, I read The Amityville Horror, and that is where I first discovered Ed and Lorraine Warren. I’ve followed their…

Movie Review – Pet Sematary – A Worthy Adaptation
The newest adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, Pet Sematary, was a solid remake. Thirty years after the original release, the makers attempted to revive their cult classic film. That’s a huge undertaking, and an enormous gamble, considering the die-hard fans of the original. To please or not to please — that is the question. They…

Movie Review – Hotel Mumbai – Unrelenting Violence
—
Hotel Mumbai is not an easy movie to watch; it’s brutal, and the killing is unrelenting. It hits the deck running and doesn’t let up for two hours. There were very short scenes of personal interaction — few and far between. Most of the movie was about chaotic running and killing, and many times the…

Movie Review – Us – Tons of Symbolism, Creepy, and a Great Time at the Movies
—
I’m by no means a lover of horror movies anymore, but when Jordan Peele writes one, you can’t help but wonder what it will be like. His freshman movie, Get Out, was creepy enough to motivate me to see more from him. Us didn’t let me down. It’s a little hard to write specifics about…

Movie Review – Captive State
—
Captive State had a good idea of dropping the movie goer right into an alien invasion. The aliens have been in control of earth for years and are known as “legislators.” They control the law and humans. Okay, great idea up to that point. It’s a dandy way to start a movie. I like the…
